Welcome to Inverted Microscopes

Welcome to Inverted Microscopes .Com where we have the specific microscopy equipment you need. We have several models of inverted tissue culture microscopes for doing cell culture work or fluorescence microscopy with live cultures. Our units also have phase contrast microscopy capability. We have inverted models that are only for brightfield microscopy, some with brightfield and phase contrast microscopy both, and some that allow all three types of illumination methods: brightfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence.

Live tissue cultures are often viewed using an inverted microscope. This particular microscopy design has the objectives facing upward, hence the name “inverted”. In a normal upright compound light microscope, the objectives face downward and are for viewing specimens on a glass slide with a glass cover slip over the specimen. The inverted tissue culture microscope images the cell cultures as they reside in a Petri dish, looking at them from the bottom of the dish. This allows the specimens to remain untouched and in a more natural, live state. In a conventional upright compound light microscope, the specimen would need to be scrapped, and smeared on a glass slide, with a cover slip placed over it. This think layer of biological specimen would then be viewed under high power magnification with the compound microscope. Our inverted models allow direct viewing of the culture inside the Petri dish. They come with long working distance objectives, designed for looking through the thickness of the bottom of the Petri dish. Normal objectives on a compound microscope are typically rated for viewing through only 0.17mm glass thickness which is the standard thickness of a glass cover slip. The bottom of the Petri dish is much thicker requiring these special long working distance objectives to be used.

There is another type of an inverted microscope that is sometimes referred to. This type is for metallurgical use, such as examining metallic specimens. It also has the objectives inverted and facing upwards. If this is the type of inverted microscope you are searching for, please visit this website, www.metallurgicalmicroscopes.com for more details. This website is devoted to the type of inverted microscopy equipment that is used by biologists for examining tissue cell cultures in Petri dishes.
