Fixed Stage Upright Microscope BX51WI : Features (2)

Front operation with no shock and no noise.

A new concept in experimental operation.

The new front operation system prevents interference in patch clamping work. The design concept is simple and allows frequently performed operations like focusing or filter exchange to be done easily at the front of the unit.
Ample space is provided on both sides of the microscope frame and condenser, so the necessary manipulation equipment can be positioned close to the microscope.

Olympus offers a wide choice of nosepieces for different applications.

Swing nosepiece

Swing nosepiece / WI-SRE2
Uniquie slim, compact design and front-to-back swing motion permits objective changes without interfering with electrodes and micromanipulators. Objective positioning incorporates a vibration-free counterspring mechanism.

Slide nosepiece

Slide nosepiece / WI-SLRE
This nosepiece is designed for the attachment of one large diameter, low magnification fluorescence objective (XLFLUOR 2x/340 or 4x/340) and one objective with normal (RMS) diamerter threads. Nosepiece motion is a simple horizontal slide.

Single position nosepiece

Single position nosepiece / WI-SNPXLU
Designed to accept the unique, large diameter XLUMPLFL20x objective.


RMS adapter

RMS adapter / WI-RMSADU
This adapter enables the attachment of an objective with RMS thread size to the WI-SNPXLU.



swing-slide nosepiece

The new swing-slide nosepiece prevents the intrusion of air bubbles

This nosepiece features a new swing-slide motion, whereby the objective swings forward while being raised. As a result, the objective clears the walls of the perfusion chamber. This motion also prevents the trapping of air bubbles when the objective is lowered.
 

Special bridge stage and microscope mover for the BXWI

XY mover

XY mover WI-XYM
The XY mover allows the movement of the microscope frame without moving either the specimen or electrodes. Especially useful for multiple patch-clamping experiments, the XY mover has convenient frontal controls.

Bridge stage WI-XYS
This stage is designed for small animal, in-vivo observations; Stage height can be lowered 50mm by simply detaching the column spacers. Designed for use with the XY mover (WI-XYM), the stage platform is compact requiring minimal desk space. Stage top is pre-tapped and ferro-magnetic for flexibility in mounting manipulators.
* Some manipulators cannot be used, due to the size of the stage.

general purpose platform stage

Culture cell observation

IX-SVL2 general purpose platform stage. Mounts for left or right hand operation. Provides stabile specimen X-Y movement.
