New inverted microscope now available

ioLight’s new inverted microscope is now available ex stock. The compact laboratory product is small enough to fit inside a CO₂ incubator and is now available ex stock from ioLight’s webstore.

ioLight’s new inverted microscope uses the company’s robust platform which has been used in the field in Antarctica, the Amazon Rainforest and even on Mount Everest. The new inverted microscope wraps the microscope in a sealed package for use inside incubators in biological laboratories. The sealed case is resistant to the damp acidic atmospheres and it means that researchers can monitor their experiments without opening the door or disrupting their experiment. Andrew Monk, CEO of ioLight says “the ability to use a microscope to view slides, Petri dishes, well plates or flasks inside the incubator is a real benefit, as opening the door risks invalidating the results”, he adds that “We are working on an additional feature that could allow researchers to monitor experiments over the internet from home. No more trips to the lab to monitor progress in the middle of the night!”

The new inverted microscope has an improved resolution of 1 micron and even better image quality. This makes it the perfect tool to monitor cell development and tissue growth inside incubators and other small laboratory experiments. It still works outside too, with the included battery providing all-day power to view algae, protozoa and seaweed at the beach or lakeshore.
