Used NIKON OST-3 #9130303 for sale

NIKON OST-3 is an inverted microscope is designed to accommodate a wide range of applications from routine to advanced observations. It is equipped with a trinocular port allowing the simultaneous viewing of the sample through the eyepieces and through a camera. NIKON OST3 is an inverted microscope optimized for fluorescence observation thanks to an extra long working distance condenser design (180mm). It is also well suited for routine observation under brightfield, DIC or phase contrast. OST 3 is built with high-end features yet robustness and features that make it easy to use. It is a five-step, coaxial focusing design, with coarse and fine focusing knobs. The focusing mechanism is stiff enough to counterbalance the weight of heavy tube lenses and objectives, while allowing for smooth and precise focusing. The microscope base features a no-slip base mat that helps keep the microscope stationary while using the focus knobs. OST-3 Manual Stage is constructed of aluminum and features a large 130mm x 130mm square plain stage. To reduce fatigue and accidental knocks, stage fine motion adjustments are easily done with the x-y control knobs. With a minimum range of 22mm x 22mm in the x-y direction, viewing larger specimens is made easier. NIKON OST 3 microscope includes excellent illumination for brightfield and fluorescence work. Six halogen lamps provide rheostat controlled, high-intensity illumination for brightfield observations. Three ceramic filter wheel positions let you switch between DIC, x-y-z annular reflection, and fluorescence observation modes. A 100W mercury burn-in Lamp can be added for fluorescence observation. The included NIKON PlanApo objectives provide superior performance and a flat image field. The 60x oil planApo objective, in particular, offers a flat, wide field of view. It also features a long working distance of 3.7mm making it ideal in many applications. OST3 also includes an Abbe type condenser with a long working distance, providing precise focus in both infinitesimal and infrared light. It also features a flip-up lens for easy insertion of Apochromats and a flip-down double filter holder for DIC. In total, NIKON OST-3 is a versatile inverted microscope ideal for routine to advanced observations. With its excellent built-in features and optional upgrades, it is a great choice for biological research, clinical microscopy, and educational training.
