The CX41 is newly equipped with Olympus' leading-edge infinity-corrected UIS optical system, which offers exceptional image clarity in a variety of observation methods, from brightfield to reflected light fluorescence. Ideal for inspection and training applications in the fields of biology and medicine, the CX41 sets the pace for its class in both basic and system performance.

Features and Benefits

Solid, easy to operate and reliable for routine clinical and educational users.

• Newly-developed infinity corrected Plan C Achromat objectives offer exceptional flatness producing sharp, clear images right up the edge of the field of view (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x oil)
• Preset package economically priced for educational institutions (CX31 only)
• Anti-fungus treatment helps protect optical parts even in high humidity regions
• Inward-facing, quadruple (CX31), or quintuple (CX41) revolving nosepiece improves access and makes for quick, easy slide changes
• Fixed Abbe condenser N.A. 1.25, centerable and focusable for Köhler illumination
• A 6V/30W halogen bulb provides ample illumination for any observation
• Ergonomically designed frame with low positioned coarse and fine focusing controls, analyzer slot for linear polarized light (CX41 only), and convenient handgrips at the front and back for transportation; integrated field stop
• Built in left or right hand stage with rackless design (CX31 right hand only), low positioned X,Y controls with ergogrips to facilitate operation

Advanced optical and system performance with excellent cost-efficiency

The evolution of this best selling microscope delivers new, cost-efficient improvements in both optics and system performance. Newly equipped with Olympus' leading-edge UIS optical system, it provides significantly enhanced image clarity in a variety of observation methods, from brightfield to reflected light fluorescence. For all inspection and training applications in the fields of biology and medicine, the CX41 sets the pace for its class in both basic and system performance.

Outstanding flat images from Plan C objectives

The CX41 provides images of outstanding brightness and clarity in a variety of observation modes. As well as Olympus' renowned UIS optics infinity system, it employs the newly developed PLC series of Plan Achromat objectives, which are made from carefully selected top quality glass and manufactured with the most rigorous precision. The result is a major improvement in image flatness, with the 10x and 40x objectives in particular providing images that are among the very best in this class of microscope. Transmitted light illumination is from a 6V, 30W high-intensity halogen light source. Excellent cost-performance in reflected light fluorescence and other observation methods

Slide condenser / CX-SLC Brightfield condenser / CH3-CD

These Abbe type condensers allow brightfield observations from 4x to 100x. Accurate centering is provided by the attachment lens (CX-AL) and the iris diaphragm, to exclude unnecessary light and obtain bright Koehler illumination right across the magnification range. These highly economical condensers enable phasecontrast and darkfield observations by simply adding basic accessories.

Simple phase contrast attachment / CX-PH1, 2, 3

For phase-contrast observations at 10x, 40x and 100x.  

Darkfield central stop / CH2-DS

For darkfield observations from 4x to 40x. * Separate filter holder (CH2-FH) or attachment lens (CX-AL) required.

Low magnification adapter /CX-LA

Use of the 2x low magnification objective allows macro observation.

Reflected light fluorescence attachment / CX-RFL-2

Users can swap between blue or green excitation and transmitted light observations. UIS optics provide bright fluorescence images, with no intermediate magnifications when changing from transmitted light to fluorescence observation. Standard PLC objectives can be used without replacement.

Reflected light fluorescence attachment / CX-RFL-2

Users can swap between blue or green excitation and transmitted light observations. UIS optics provide bright fluorescence images, with no intermediate magnifications when changing from transmitted light to fluorescence observation. Standard PLC objectives can be used without replacement.

Dry darkfield condenser / CX-DCD

This dry-type darkfield condenser gives a superior darkfield effect without the need for immersion in oil. Suitable for use at 10x and 40x magnifications.

 

More accessories, more observation versatility

Easy digital imaging

A simple eyepiece adapter enables an Olympus digital camera to be attached to binocular tube U-CBI30-2 - an easy, practical and cost-efficient means of obtaining digital images.

 

Dual observation attachment / U-DO3

Enables dual, simultaneous observation of a single specimen from the same direction with equal magnification and brightness for both operators. A pointer can be used to indicate specific sections of the specimen to simplify the training process and promote discussion.

 

Trinocular tube / U-CTR30-2

Still digital (DP11) or video cameras can be attached for on-site/remote illustration of educational/discussion meetings.

 

Trinocular intermediate attachment /U-TRU

A binocular tube on its own allows photomicrography. Combination with this intermediate attachment type trinocular tube makes it possible to attach photographic equipment and a video camera at the same time.

 

Eyepoint adjuster / U-EPA2

Allows the eyepoint position to be raised by 30mm. Up to two eyepoint adjusters can be attached between the frame arm and observation tube.

 

Arrow pointer / U-APT

Enables insertion of an LED arrow for display in a photomicrograph.

 

2x magnification changer / U-ECA

Magnification is doubled by engaging the auxiliary 2x lens.

 

Drawing attachment / U-DA

The drawing attachment projects an image of the pencil and drawing surface into the visual field.
