Product description

Precision rotating polarizer UPO BH2-UPO NIC for Olympus BH2-UMA microscope illuminator, enabling polarization-based optical analysis.

The Olympus UPO BH2-UPO NIC is a specialized rotating polarizer designed for integration with the BH2-UMA microscope illuminator. This optical component allows precise control of light polarization, essential for enhancing contrast and detail in microscopy applications including polarization microscopy and birefringence analysis. Key features include:

  • Rotating polarizer mechanism for variable polarization angle adjustment.
  • Compatible specifically with Olympus BH2 series microscopes equipped with the BH2-UMA illuminator.
  • Part number: M-0250 ensures exact fitment and reliable performance in microscopy setups.
  • Widely used in biomedical engineering, cell imaging, and materials science for polarization-based techniques.

This polarizer is critical for applications requiring modulation of light to analyze anisotropic specimens, making it popular among researchers in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where precise optical characterization is necessary. The accessory supports advanced imaging workflows needed for fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging enhancements, and synthetic biology research relying on polarization contrast methods.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
