Asbestos Microscopes
Olympus CX41 for routine applications.
Key Features:
Large variety of applications
Asbestos Fibre Counting
Adaptable for GOUT inspection
Enhanced image clarity
Outstanding flat images
Cost-efficient
Accepts a wide range of digital cameras
The Olympus CX41 provides images of outstanding brightness and clarity in a variety of observation modes. As well as Olympus' renowned UIS2 infinity optics system it employs the PLCN series of Plan Achromat objectives, which are made from carefully selected top quality glass and are manufactured with the most rigorous precision. The result is a major improvement image flatness, with the 10x and 40x objectives in particular providing images that are among the very best available in this class of microscope. Transmitted light illumination is from a 6v 30W halogen light source. Applications include brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, polarised light and fluorescence. Digital cameras can also be attached with the correct adapters.
Plan objectives for image clarity
The Olympus UIS2 plan corrected objectives ensure the observation of bright, clear images with excellent flatness.
Ergonomic
The optional tilting binocular tube reducing neck strain, and low positioning of stage handle, focus knob, and frontal light control make long term use comfortable.
Cost effective fluorescence
Fluorescence labelling methods find more and more their way in routine observations. Olympus offers a 50 Watt Mercury reflected light illumination system suitable for simple fluorescence observations.
In addition transmitted light FluoLED fluorescence illuminators are designed to fit to the Olympus CX microscopes making them ideal for routine as well as educational purposes. The LEDs can be powered by battery or even solar power ensuring that fluorescence microscopy can be conducted ‘in field’ where samples are fresh. The FluoLED system is available in three versions, to provide transmitted fluorescence, without removing the ability to perform normal brightfield illumination: The FluoLED EasyBlue (480 nm) provides a single wavelength of fixed intensity for the most cost efficient solution. The FluoLED Single provides users with the capability to use one of seven interchangeable LED cassettes from 365 nm (UV) to 630 nm (Red) and control the intensity of the light. The FluoLED MultiFluo enables up to three of the interchangeable LED cassettes to be installed and controlled on the microscope at once via a three channel electronic driver.
Ideal for different observation methods
Either simple polarisation, phase contrast or darkfield, the universal objectives accommodate all observation methods without need to change the objective type each time the method is changed.
Documentation and analysis
Olympus digital cameras, optimised for various applications, can be adapted via the optional available trinocular tube. The cameras can be combined with software packages ranging from easy archiving up to thorough analysis and reporting of data.

Olympus BX43 - world renowned UIS2 optics and operating efficiency for a wide range of clinical applications.
Key Features:
True colour LED illumination
Light Intensity Manager
Various contrast methods
Magnification and filter read-out
Upgradeable with motorised components
Digital imaging platform for a wide range of camera systems
The Olympus BX43 offers an outstanding range of features and optical performance for the clinical market. With an emphasis on the powerful UIS2 optical system and the proven rigid Y-shaped frame coupled with easy-to-operate front controls and unique colour-matched LED brightfield illumination, it also offers improved versatility and ergonomic operation. The compact space-efficient frame of the Olympus BX43 enables comprehensive routine work functions with outstanding cost performance, making it an ideal and versatile standalone microscope for standard imaging applications, and also the perfect starting point for digital imaging, motorisation and even fluorescence – it is future-lab-ready so that you can be too.
Trust your eyes - true colour LED Illumination
Olympus is taking brightfield to the next level with the most advanced mixed-matrix brightfield LED technology currently available. This new true-colour LED has been designed to provide a colour rendering index very similar to that of halogen bulbs with daylight filters. This means that stain colours appear exactly the same under the true colour LED as they do under daylight filtered halogen, and also that similar (but not the same) colours can be clearly differentiated. Such clarity cannot be provided by standard LEDs as they cannot provide the same colour rendering capabilities and thus diagnostic imaging becomes difficult. This advanced colour rendering technology therefore provides a wavelength range ideal for the most commonly used stain colours - purple, blue and red (e.g. haematoxylin and eosin – HE or Papanicolaou stain - Pap).
Increased efficiency - Light intensity management (LIM)
Due to their nature, LEDs are ideal for transmitted bright field illumination as they offer easy intensity control, with a constant colour temperature profile over the entire intensity range. Olympus has maximised this distinct benefit with the built-in Light Intensity Manager (LIM), which provides an easy to use interface for setting and automating brightness levels associated with each different objective, reducing the fine adjustments usually completed by the user with each objective. The Olympus LIM works in collaboration with the unique Olympus true-colour LED transmitted light source and coded nosepieces (5 and 7 positions), to automatically adjust the illumination intensity to the user’s pre-defined levels with each objective change.
Future Lab Ready – system solutions
An increasing number of application areas require clinicians to capture, store and annotate the images they produce. As a result, even if these requirements are not currently needed the microscope you buy today should be ready for the digital future. With the Olympus BX3 microscopes, related accessories and digital camera range, as well as the dedicated labSens software, clinicians have the scope to match their current requirements; safe in the knowledge they are ready for the future, whichever direction it takes their imaging needs.
Building your system – ultimate flexibility
With the BX43 it is possible to start with a standard manual brightfield microscope set-up and then adapt the system as the requirements change, for example additional condensers and objectives could be added to cover a broader range of techniques, a trinocular observation tube makes it possible to add a digital imaging camera which, in turn, makes the Olympus labSens software an excellent addition for digital documentation and case tracking. The BX43 can also support reflected fluorescence, ensuring that, with the increasing number of clinically-relevant fluorescence techniques, your microscopy system can be easily adapted to suit, whilst still providing the same transmitted white light capabilities.
Motorised running – the freedom of choice
By bringing together the right balance of modules and accessories, the BX3 clinical microscopes provide the freedom to fully investigate specimens.
Olympus offers an impressive range of motorisation and automation tools for increasing the efficiency of routine and complex imaging and screening techniques. This offers the capability to perform more reliable examinations even more quickly, saving valuable time. The automation options work well in unison with each other, but can be implemented as independent solutions, so the user only has to motorise the function(s) they need to. This offers much greater flexibility and cost-efficiency, ensuring that the system is built to the user needs.
Digital imaging ready – uncompromising ergonomics
A range of tubes are available for the BX3 range to suit every requirement. For the greatest system flexibility and user comfort, the tilting, trinocular U-TTR2 tube provides excellent eye piece height adjustment as well as interpupillary distance control, and the optical path slider can be attached to either side of the tube, once again this puts the user in full control of the microscope and ensures that the microscope adjusts to their posture and not vice versa.
labSens – Modern digital documentation solution
The labSens software programme is the ideal digital imaging and documentation solution for the modern clinical laboratory. As well as providing all of the essential image acquisition, processing and discussion needs, labSens fits in with the BX3’s central themes of ergonomics and efficiency. The easy-to-use graphical user interface enables the definition of the most important functions, such that users can choose which tools they would like to have available on the screen, enabling them to streamline the interface. This results in an instinctive and fast interactive environment for acquiring, displaying, commenting, measuring and handling of images.
