The primary uses of the Inverted Culture Microscope are centered around the observation of living cells in their natural growth environment. Key applications include:

• **Routine Cell Culture Monitoring:** Daily inspection of cell confluence, detection of microbial or fungal contamination, and checking for cellular health in research labs across **Pune** and **Bengaluru**.
• **IVF and Reproductive Biology:** Used for handling and observing oocytes, sperm, and early stage embryos in fertilization and micromanipulation procedures. Its long working distance is crucial here.
• **Immunofluorescence and Live Imaging:** The stable platform and ease of integrating specialized light sources make it ideal for time-lapse studies of dynamic processes in living cells.
• **Micro-Injection Techniques:** Providing the necessary optical clarity and working space to perform micro-injection of foreign substances (like DNA or drugs) into individual cells.

Its application in educational institutions, especially those in **North Indian states** emphasizing life sciences, provides students with firsthand experience in professional cell handling protocols.
