Inverted Tissue Culture Microscope
Product Code : LSK-M-11370
Inverted Tissue Culture Microscope (SKU LSK-M-11370) is a binocular inverted microscope: the objectives sit below the stage and look up through the base of a culture vessel, so cells growing in flasks, bottles or dishes can be examined without being moved onto a slide. It suits cell-culture, microbiology and biotechnology laboratories in colleges and research institutes. Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India for universities, research centres and procurement agents.
Specifications
The inverted model is fully specified in the table. In short, a 45° binocular head with HWF 10x eyepieces looks through achromatic 5x, 10x, LWD 20x and LWD 40x SL objectives on a quadruple turret, over an oversize stage with two extension plates, lit by a post-mounted 6V 20W halogen illuminator on Koehler's system.

Applications and Experiments for the Inverted Tissue Culture Microscope
The inverted layout is meant for living cultures: a flask or dish rests on the stage while long working distance objectives focus through its base. The extension plates support large bottles and microfilter work, and Koehler illumination gives even lighting across the field. It fits M.Sc. biotechnology, microbiology and cell-biology laboratories.
- Checking the growth, attachment and confluence of cell cultures in flasks and dishes.
- Cell counting work alongside a Haemocytometer, with measurements calibrated on a Micrometric Slide.
- Observing microbial colonies and microfilter membranes on the extension plates.
- Plant tissue culture: examining callus and explants in culture vessels.
Standard Scope of Supply
The microscope comes in a storing box with its 45° binocular head, paired HWF 10x eyepieces with eye guards, achromatic 5x, 10x, LWD 20x and LWD 40x SL objectives on the quadruple turret, the stage with two 150 x 65 mm extension plates and the post-mounted halogen illuminator. Monocular or trinocular heads can be quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one inverted microscope or for several units for a culture facility. Science Lab Supplies states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and a quote from a petri dish supplier in India can cover culture dishes on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. Make contact via the contact page, place the item in the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for structured bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a tissue culture microscope inverted?
Cultures grow on the bottom of flasks and dishes. With the objectives below the stage, the lens looks up through the vessel base, so cells can be viewed in their culture vessel without transferring them to a slide.
What are the LWD objectives?
LWD stands for long working distance. The 20x and 40x objectives are LWD types, giving the extra clearance needed to focus through the base of flasks and dishes, while the 5x and 10x objectives are used for scanning.
Can the head be changed?
Yes. The 45° binocular observation head is interchangeable with a monocular or trinocular observation head, so a camera route can be added later. Ask for the alternative head to be priced on the quotation.
Who supplies the Inverted Tissue Culture Microscope?
Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, prepares quotations for this inverted model. The quotation states the configuration, any alternative head, packing and dispatch terms for research centres, colleges and distributors at home and abroad.
