Olympus CX31 -  Educational Microscope

The Olympus CH educational microscopes, which have gained an outstanding worldwide reputation in many medical and educational arenas,  now give rise to the new CX31 with UIS infinity-corrected optics.  The CX31 offers improved all-around performance and even greater cost efficiency. 

Outstanding flat images from Plan C objectives

Use of the newly-developed PLC series of UIS objectives improves flatness dramatically, producing sharp, clear images right up to the edge of the field of view. Ideal for the 10x and 40x objectives so frequently used for inspection work, the flatness ranks among the very best in this class of microscopes.

Bright, even observation images

The illumination system employs a high intensity 6V, 30W halogen lamp for bright images. The aperture iris diaphragm with built-in condenser and standard field stop combine to provide bright and even illumination at all levels of magnification.

Rigid, durable construction for high performance and long service life

Construction quality is excellent throughout, with objectives, eyepiece, observation tube, revolving nosepiece, highly reliable rackless stage and other components all fixed firmly to the body - so there's nothing to come loose or fall off when the microscope is being transported. The highly reputable rackless stage is employed, and since the X-axis guide does not protrude, both transportation and operation are performed easily and safely.

Digital imaging compliance

An adapter to mount Olympus digital cameras is provided to allow easy, cost-efficient digital imaging.

Anti-fungus treatment

The treatment applied to the observation tubes, eyepieces and objectives, protects quality of optical parts even in high humidity regions.
