It provides a stable platform for sample positioning without requiring a custom holder, enabling consistent imaging across different sample types and microscope models.
- Model NumberCKX3-HOUN
- Frame Size127mm x 85mm
- Surface TreatmentAnodized
- Compatible BrandsLeica, Olympus, Zeiss
- Compatible ModelsInverted microscopes
- ApplicationsSlides, small dishes, non-standard dishes
Key Benefits
- 127mm x 85mm frame fits standard inverted microscope stages with minimal clearance issues
- Anodized surface resists corrosion and reduces glare during imaging
- Universal fit across Leica, Olympus, and Zeiss inverted microscopes avoids model-specific adapters
- Supports slides, small dishes, and non-standard dish shapes without custom fixtures
- Reduces setup time by eliminating the need to source or fabricate a dedicated holder
Application Scenarios
- Mounting a non-standard dish on an Olympus inverted microscope for cell culture imaging
- Securing a slide in a Leica inverted system when the original stage clip is missing or damaged
- Using a small petri dish in a Zeiss inverted microscope for live cell observation
- Switching between slide and dish samples on the same inverted microscope without changing hardware
- Setting up a temporary sample holder in a shared lab environment with mixed microscope brands
Who It Is For
- Clinical and research labs using multiple inverted microscopes from different brands
- Cell culture and tissue culture facilities with non-standard dish sizes
- Microscopy technicians performing routine imaging on mixed equipment
- University teaching labs with shared inverted microscopes and variable sample types
- Quality control labs handling diverse sample formats on inverted systems
Problems It Solves
- A missing or damaged stage clip prevents secure mounting of slides or dishes on an inverted microscope
- Non-standard dish sizes cannot be held securely on a standard microscope stage
- Different brands of inverted microscopes require separate adapters, increasing inventory
- Temporary sample holders degrade quickly or introduce vibration during imaging
- Time is lost switching between different holders when changing sample types
Technical Features
- Anodized aluminum frame provides rigidity and surface durability
- 127mm x 85mm external dimensions match common inverted microscope stage openings
- Designed for use with slides, small dishes, and non-standard dish shapes
- Universal fit across inverted microscopes from Leica, Olympus, and Zeiss
- No moving parts or adjustment mechanisms; simple mechanical fit

Comparison With Other Options
| Brand-specific adapter for Olympus inverted microscope | Same function but limited to one brand; the universal adapter avoids the need to stock multiple models |
|---|---|
| Custom machined metal holder | More expensive and longer lead time; the universal adapter is ready to use immediately |
| Plastic sample holder | Less stable and prone to warping; the anodized aluminum frame maintains rigidity under repeated use |
Use Guide
- Ensure the stage opening on the inverted microscope is at least 127mm x 85mm to accept the adapter
- Place the slide or dish centrally on the adapter to avoid edge interference
- Do not over-tighten stage clamps; the adapter is designed for light mechanical fit
- Clean the adapter with a dry cloth after use to prevent residue buildup
- Inspect for warping or surface damage before mounting on the microscope
Guides and Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this adapter compatible with all inverted microscopes?
It is designed for Leica, Olympus, and Zeiss inverted microscopes. Confirm stage dimensions before use.
Can I use this adapter with a large dish or petri dish?
It supports small dishes and non-standard dishes. Larger dishes may not fit securely.
Does the adapter require any tools to install?
No tools are required. It is a direct mechanical fit onto the microscope stage.
What material is the adapter made from?
Anodized aluminum frame.
Can I use this adapter with a slide that has a cover slip?
Yes, as long as the slide fits within the 127mm x 85mm frame and does not extend beyond the edges.
Is the anodized surface scratch-resistant?
Yes, the anodizing process increases surface hardness and resistance to wear and corrosion.
