The IonOptix-configured Motic AE31 inverted microscope provides an ideal platform for combined photometry and dimensioning measurements.  This microscope has been engineered to incorporate various unique IonOptix optical components and connectors in order to operate as the imaging component within our Calcium and Contractility Systems. It features upscale research functions, such as halogen Koehler illumination and epifluorescence capacity. The AE31 also incorporates Motic’s Color Corrected Infinity Optical System [CCIS®] to produce crisp, flat, and high contrast images.  We equip our microscope packages according to the specific demands of the proposed IonOptix system.  For calcium photometry systems, the AE31 comes configured with an Olympus fluorescence objective with high numerical aperture and UV transmission.  Properly equipped with an IonOptix fluorescence illumination system, the Motic serves as an exceptional option for researchers in search of reliable, high fidelity data acquisition at an affordable price.
