COLO.SCIENCE – FLUO500 INVERTED FLUORESCENCE + PHASE CONTRAST
Why FLUO500 is a practical choice for live-cell fluorescence
FLUO500 is an inverted microscope designed for workflows where samples are observed in vessels (e.g., dishes/plates) and where live-cell imaging is common. The inverted geometry supports comfortable observation while keeping the specimen accessible for handling and routine lab work.
This model combines fluorescence capability with phase contrast for enhanced viewing of low-contrast specimens. The optical path uses Infinity Plan Achromatic LWD objectives, and the light-source design targets larger apertures to help deliver higher-resolution images (as stated in the official TechSpec PDF).
Key features (from PDF)
- Inverted microscope design for live-cell imaging workflows.
- Fluorescence capability (configuration dependent).
- Phase contrast support (configuration dependent).
- Revolving and reversed nosepiece for 5 objectives.
- Infinity Plan Achromatic LWD objectives for versatile working distances.
Where it fits best
- Live cell imaging workflows (inverted microscopy).
- Routine fluorescence observation and documentation (trinocular option).
- Phase-contrast viewing for low-contrast, unstained specimens.
- General lab microscopy where accessibility to the sample vessel is important.
PRACTICAL USE & CHECKLISTS
Daily workflow checklist (fast)
Start with phase contrast (if fitted) to locate cells quickly, then switch to fluorescence for marker verification and documentation. Use consistent exposure settings and record objective/magnification in your capture notes.
If you plan imaging, choose the trinocular head option and a matching camera + adapter to ensure parfocal imaging and repeatable documentation.
