COLO.SCIENCE – INVE600 INVERTED MICROSCOPE PLATFORM
Why INVE600 is a practical choice for cell culture observation
The INVE600 inverted cell culture microscope is designed for routine and advanced live-cell observation.
Its inverted architecture supports comfortable work with culture vessels (Petri dishes, flasks, multiwell plates), while the
Köhler transmitted illumination and UIS2 infinity corrected optical system provide stable contrast and consistent imaging.
A key advantage is the intelligent operating system: objective coding can memorize brightness per objective and automatically adjust intensity when magnification changes.
The front LCD display shows microscope status (magnification, brightness, standby/timing, lock), supporting standardized workflows and reduced operator fatigue.
Key features (short)
- Köhler transmitted illumination with 3W S-LED 4000K (PDF also references 30W tungsten-halogen* option).
- UIS2 infinity optics + Infinity Plan Achromatic objectives (by configuration).
- Pre-centered phase contrast slider for 4×/10×/20×/40× + 2 empty positions (min Ø45 mm).
- Coded 5-position nosepiece + objective-linked brightness memory.
- Operator-removable condenser for increased working space (min sample height 190 mm without condenser).
Where it fits best
- Cell culture routine observation and documentation.
- Live-cell workflows needing phase contrast for transparent samples.
- Teaching & training with camera output (trinocular + C-mount).
- Research setups requiring more space for accessories or manipulation tools.
PRACTICAL USE & CHECKLISTS
Daily setup checklist (fast)
For consistent results: start at low magnification, confirm comfortable interpupillary distance and diopter settings,
then set stable illumination (Köhler alignment where applicable) before moving to higher objectives.
For phase contrast: use the pre-centered phase slider position matching your objective (4×/10×/20×/40×).
For imaging: confirm 1× C-mount/adapter fit and standardize exposure presets for repeatable documentation.
COLO.Science & equipment
At COLO.Science, inverted microscopes are configured based on your application: vessel types,
required contrast method (BF/PH/FL), and camera needs — including onboarding support when needed.
If you need specific fluorescence bands or specialized filter modules, we can propose a matching configuration.
