Biological Microscopes

Rackless stage design

BX2 series microscopes feature a wiredriven stage from which the X-axis guide does not protrude. This design provides a rigid and precise X-Y translation, and avoids damage caused by stray glass chips. The X-Y movement weight is freely adjustable. The stage surface has a ceramic coating which provides excellent wear resistance and ensures consistently smooth specimen movement.

Grooved oil stage

For operators who frequently use high magnification oil immersion objectives, Olympus offers a special stage with a groove for oil run-off, to prevent glass slides from sticking to the surface.

Smooth, light rubber knob movement

A rubber cap allowing light and accurate one-finger operation is available as option.

DC power source with no flicker

The microscope body's power source is direct current, which delivers bright observation images without flicker.

Metal construction for maximum rigidity

The microscope bodies are made from aluminum alloy to ensure the high rigidity needed for consistent performance and long-term durability.

Swing-out U-SC3 condenser allows observation over wide area

The swing-out U-SC3 condenser is suitable for all observations from 1.25X to 100X. No special condenser is required for work at ultra low magnifications.

Up to 4 filters can be mounted

Space is provided for an optional fourth filter. This allows any filter to be inserted freely, and the built-in frost filter to be changed. Changing to direct light observation is a one touch operation.
