Olympus BX51WI

Fixed Stage Research Microscope

The BX51WI is a special-purpose research microscope designed for electrophysiology. The BX51WI provides the stability crucial for patch clamping and is equipped with dedicated water immersion objectives designed for near IR illumination at 775 and 990nm. The WI line of objectives is designed with long working distances and large approach angles for manipulator access. The optical system is tailored for high-contrast, high-resolution imaging under the challenging conditions of thick brain slice observation.
