Used OLYMPUS CV-180 #9166004 for sale

OLYMPUS CV-180 is a high-end compound microscope designed for use in medical and scientific research. It offers clear, high-contrast imaging of specimens in brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, and differential interference contrast (DIC) modes. The microscope features a long working distance infinity corrected optical equipment which utilizes bright Kohler illumination for maximum image clarity. The infinity corrected optical system also allows for a variety of objectives with different magnifications to be used interchangeably. On CV-180, added image-enhancing features such as an automatically-controlled centerable rotatable condenser, a centerable rotatable annular diaphragm, a focusable iris diaphragm, and variable halogen light intensity all optimize imaging results. The microscope is built with a rigid, arm-bearing frame, long working distance infinity corrected optics, post-centeredLED illumination, and a precise motor-driven Y-axis focusing drive. This provides a stable platform and accurate focus-tracking for all observation and imaging tasks. The body of OLYMPUS CV-180 microscope is designed with a large upper arm-bearing to provide precise 3-dimensional balance and minimize vibrations during use. The microscope has a magnification range of 36x to 225x and includes brightfield, phase contrast, DIC, and full fluorescence observation capabilities. The infinity corrected optical unit is optimized for image quality, with 5 multi-coated infinity objectives delivering a maximum numerical aperture of 0.90. Five extended, additional-magnification objectives including semi-plan can also be used with the microscope. The eyepieces included with CV-180 are wide field and parfocal, so that focus remains constant over the entire field of view when changing magnification levels. A click-stop aperture diaphragm wheel provides 16 adjustable feature sizes from 0.2mm to 0.8mm. The microscope also includes a 6-place sliding nosepiece that can hold up to 6 different objectives. A green filter filters out visible light from fluorescent specimens, and a PH3 phase-contrast machine is available as a separate add-on. All of these features combine to create a powerful and accurate imaging tool known for its high resolution and sharpness. With its variable illumination and multiple observation modes, OLYMPUS CV-180 is an excellent choice for detailed microscope studies.
