Olympus BX62 Research Microscope

Based on the latest results in compound research, the new microscopes are manufactured from a Metal Composite (MMC). MMC is a composite material of ceramic and aluminium introduced for the first time for microscopy.   Due to strong efforts in the development of an unique production process, Olympus enables the microscope user to benefit from the advantages of the new material.   MMC radically improves the static rigidity and the thermal rigidity of the microscope frame. Both are very important factors required to achieve perfect results in different advanced microscopy applications. The functionality of the new microscopes can be extended by the use of modular motorized components. The top of the range model is already equipped with a built-in-motorized high-precision focus drive. The combination of both the MMC
frame and the motorized components provides the perfect platform for your leading research applications.

New steps forward in fluorescence performance

Already renowned in the field, Olympus has now taken fluorescence performance even further ahead, using a newly developed aspheric lens in the lamp housing to improve light collection and achromatic performance right up near to infrared conditions. The lens covers a wide wavelength range and provides fluorescence images almost twice as bright as conventional ones even under very low magnifications.

Optimal prism combinations for all specifications and magnifications

Individual specimen characteristics, such as refractive index, thickness and surrounding medium,  greatly influence the formation of images in Differential Interference Contrast. Achieving the best visibility - an optimal balance between high contrast and high resolution - calls for specification- and magnification-dependent DIC prism shearing distances and prism selection. The Olympus Nomarski DIC system includes the prism combinations to choose for each image task. The general purpose prism sets are supplemented with special-purpose sets which allow users to choose highest resolution depending on the specific magnification and specimen conditions.
