Olympus CX41 - Ideal for routine applications.

Key Features:
Large variety of applications
Adaptable for GOUT inspection
Asbestos Fibre Counting
Outstanding flat images
Enhanced image clarity
Accepts a wide range of digital cameras
Cost-efficient

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.

Olympus BX46 – specialised for clinical screening.

Key Features:
Unrivalled ergonomy
Ultra low fixed stage
World's first tilting, telescopic, lifting tube
Light Intensity Manager
True colour LED illumination
No condenser changes from 4x to 100x

The Olympus BX46 was specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of repetitive routine microscopy. In contrast to conventional microscopes, where samples are focused using a moving stage, the Olympus BX46 has a moveable objective nosepiece. This allows the stage to be fixed in the Z-plane very close to the desk surface and it is therefore in the same place relative to the user’s hand at all times. The unmatched three dimensional adaptability of the new observation tube also provides the ideal posture for the user. This unique Olympus BX46 microscope design shows the attention to detail used in the construction and ensures the highest levels of comfort for long term screening.

Excellent Images

Apochromatic Objectives Enable High-Resolution Observation of Phase Contrast and Fluorescence

Phase contrast apochromatic objectives (UPLSAPO100×OPH, PLAPON60×OPH) enable high-precision observation free from optical axis displacement—even during simultaneous observation of phase contrast and fluorescence, negating the need to change the objective when switching methods.

Olympus digital cameras can be adapted via the standard left side port. The wide range of cameras available offers a choice of models to best fit the required application. Olympus cellSens software packages enable archiving and analysis of multistained specimens. Basic and integrated software solutions are available and Olympus specialists will support you in choosing the best option.

High S/N Fluorescent Mirror Units that Efficiently Detect Fluorescence Signals
All fluorescence mirror units feature filters treated with a coating specially developed to minimize noise by absorbing more than 99% of stray light, while the sharp performance and high transmittance of the mirror units ensure efficient fluorescence signal detection.

For fluorescence labelling in cell culture, Olympus fluorescence illumination systems and high definition ion coated filters provide the highest signal to noise performance. They incorporate the wavelength accuracy, edge steepness and low autofluorescence of UIS2 HQ fluorescence filters. Different fluorescence illumination systems are available to offer the best dye excitation according to individual application requirements.
