Olympus BX41 Laboratory Microscope

The BX41 offers an outstanding range of features and performance available for its price in the clinical market, with the emphasis on a high-quality frame and optics, greater versatility than found in previous models and simplified operation.

Features and Benefits

Ergonomic Design for Efficiency and Comfort

• Y"-shaped frame brings all adjustable features toward the user for easy access to controls, while   also providing superb stability.
• Transmitted light frame with low-positioned coarse/fine focus, coarse focus tension adjustment, Köhler illumination, detachable nosepiece and light intensity dial in front .
• New, precise motion, rackless design, stage is available for left and right hand use, tension adjustment for X, Y movement suits individual preferences.

Flexible System Format

• Modular design allows for easy attachment of accessories without image compromise; accepts a   variety of video attachments, film cameras, and the new BX-URA2 and BX-RFA incident light   fluorescence illuminators.
• The BX41 accepts all UIS optics, delivering bright, sharp and high-contrast images
• A 6V/30W halogen illumination with photo-preset button for bright images and convenient photo documentation.
• 8-position universal condenser for use in brightfield, darkfield ,Phase Contrast , polarization, and DIC (Nomarski) allows continuous observation over the wide magnification range of 1.25x-100x without condenser change

Magnifications from 1.25´ to 100´ without changing the condenser give wide-ranging observation flexibility

The BX41 allows continuous observation over the wide magnification range of 1.25´ to 100´. Next to the standard quintuple revolving nosepiece, a sextuple nosepiece with accessory slot is available. With the U-SC3 swing out condenser, it is possible to get optimal illumination from 1.25´* to 100´ without changing the condenser.

* When photographing with the 1.25´ objective, please use the ultra low condenser U-ULC2.

UIS Optics

• Achromats 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x and 100x oil/iris
• Plan Achromats 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 50x oil and 100x oil
• U Plan Fluorites 4x, 10x, 20x, 40, 60x oil and 100x oil
• Plan Apochromats 1.25x, 2x, 40x, 60x oil and 100x oil
• U Plan Apochromats 4x, 10x, 20x, 20x oil, 40x, 40x oil, 60x and 100x oil
• A complete line of Phase Contrast objectives is also available

Special Purpose Objectives

• Cytology: 10x Plan Achromat CY with built-in neutral density filter that equalizes the light intensity   when switching between the 10x and 40x objectives. Eliminates the need to adjust light intensity when switching between the two objectives (for faster, convenient viewing)
• Hematology: 50x Plan Achromat oil for the image quality of oil with a large field of view
• Pathology: 60x Achromat for high magnification and the convenience of oil-free use
• Pathology: 2x Plan Achromat for large field scanning and imaging

Applied ergonomics for easier, more comfortable work

The BX41 ergonomics meet the key operator requirement of conducting observations over a long period without discomfort. Careful study of such critical aspects as observation posture, the positioning of control elements, and making the most effective use of work space has led to refinements in ergonomic design and structure that enable every operator to work in comfort even  during prolonged observations.

The right eyepoint means less fatigue

The right eyepoint is vital for working in comfort, and the BX41's tilting binocular tube (U-TBI-3) enables every operator to select the most suitable position. The eyepoint adjuster (U-EPA2) allows the eyepoint position to be raised by up to 60mm.

Easy-to-operate fine focusing knob

The detachable fine focusing knob is coated to have a smooth, pleasant surface, easy to operate even with a single finger. It can also be attached to either side of the microscope, so that operators can always use their favored hand for focus and stage control. Tactile covers are fitted to the X and Y stage controls to provide a " light touch " stage movement.

Ergonomic Y-shaped design frees up more desk space

The BX41's space-efficient Y-shaped design and the use of a reshaped fine focusing knob help to maximize the free desk area. 283mm

Stage innovation for your comfort

At 204mm, the height of the stage above the desk surface is designed for increased working comfort. A unique new dual pulley system has been introduced to govern stage movement. Replacing the previous rack & pinion system, it saves space around the stage. The specimen positioning can be optimized not only by X-Y movement but also by rotation of the stage by up to 250 degrees - a valuable feature for photographic, digital or video documentation.

Oil rectangular stages (U-SVRO, U-SVLO)

These stages are designed with grooves that prevent the adhesion of slides due to the occasional spill of immersion oil or mounting medium.
