Olympus GX41 - small inverted metallurgical microscope

Key Features:
UIS2 optics for unsurpassed optical performance
Portable and easy to carry
Mirror stage for convenient specimen confirmation
Highly expandable system
Suitable for brightfield and simple polarised light observations

The Olympus GX41 is a compact microscope equipped with all the functions required for metallurgical observation. The GX41 has adopted infinity corrected UIS2 optics while retaining the handiness and mobility of its predecessor the CK40M. Its compact design makes it light enough to carry and be placed alongside the specimen grinder. Among the new features of the Olympus GX41 are improved dust protection and system expandability. While the basic functions of the microscope are integrated into the frame, the GX41 can be combined with various accessories like digital cameras, discussion units and drawing attachments.

Excellent optical performance
Although being a small inverted metallurgical microscope the GX41 provides excellent optical performance. When compared to the preceding model CK40M further optical improvements have been achieved by the addition of UIS2 infinity corrected optics.  The GX41 is especially adapted to the UIS2 MPlan series of objectives, providing magnifications from 5x, 10x, 20x,40x, 50x to 100x.

Compact portable frame
The compact body design with the extra handle for carrying facilitates the easy transport of the GX41 (approximate mass: 10 kg) from one workspace to the other.

Highly expandable system
The GX41 shares a number of accessories with the BX2, CX and CKX series. The range of additional equipment covers digital cameras, discussion units and drawing attachments.

Olympus GX51 - inverted reflected light microscope

Key Features:
Versatile modular design
Improved optical performance
New standards in image clarity
Ergonomic layout

The Olympus GX51 inverted microscope was developed for routine inspection applications. All frequently used operating functions are accessed from the front and the design makes it easy to use whether the operator is working in a seated or standing position. Applications available are brightfield, darkfield, polarised light, DIC/Nomarski interference contrast and image capture.

Ergonomic
Whether you sit or stay during your inspections: the ergonomic control layout placing the field and aperture stop, focus control and light adjustment close to your hands, plus the flexible stage handle make your work as comfortable as possible.

Fast switching between brightfield and darkfield observation
The GX51 performs brightfield, darkfield, Nomarski DIC and polarised light observations. Selecting brigtfield/darkfield is blindingly easy because you just operate a single lever located close to your hands.

Documentation and analysis
Olympus digital cameras can be adapted via the front port or the optional available trinocular tube and side port. Choose the camera model which fits best your applications. Add one of our software packages depending on your needs which could range from easy archiving up to thorough analysis and reporting of your data.

Olympus GX71 - inverted reflected light microscope

Key Features:
Versatile modular design
For any observation method from brightfield, darkfield
and Nomarski/DIC
Erect images for easier comparison
Flexibility for any needs

The Olympus GX71 enables observation of upright images and employs super wide field observation (F.N.26.5), ideal for every observation method from brightfield to fluorescence by simply changing the position of the Olympus GX71's beamsplitter turret.

Ergonomic
Whether you sit or stay: the ergonomic control layout placing the field and aperture stop, focus control, light path and photo-frame slider, Zoom selector and light adjustment close to your hands, plus the flexible stage handle make your work as comfortable as possible.

Easy view
The GX71 offers super widefield observation with fieldnumber 26.5 for efficient orientation and observation. Observe the specimen "as it is" because images are not reversed.

Ideal for every observation method
Just change the position of the GX71 beamsplitter to alternate quick and easy between brightfield, darkfield, Nomarski DIC, simple polarized light and fluorescence observation. The Olympus universal objectives accomodate all observation methods without need to change the objective type each time the observation method is changed.

Documentation and analysis
Olympus digital cameras can be adapted via the front port or the optional available trinocular tube and side port. Choose the camera model which fits best your applications. Add one of our software packages depending on your needs which could range from easy archiving up to thorough analysis and reporting of your data.
