Product description

Olympus U-POTP polarizer and tint plate slider for MX/AX series microscopes with U-URA and U-RLA illuminators.

The Olympus U-POTP Polarizer & Tint Plate Slider is a precision optical accessory designed for use with Olympus MX and AX series microscopes. This slider integrates a polarizer and a tint plate, enabling refined control of polarized light essential for contrast enhancement and birefringence analysis in microscopy. It is compatible with U-URA and U-RLA illuminators, providing versatile illumination control crucial for research applications in material science, biotechnology, and cell imaging.

Key features include:

  • Part No. U-P211 with precise mechanical fit and optical alignment
  • Facilitates polarized light microscopy, critical in fluorescence analysis and molecular diagnostics
  • Essential for enhancing contrast in birefringent specimen observation and live-cell imaging studies
  • Widely adopted in synthetic biology research and bioprocessing workflows requiring optical manipulation
  • Durable construction ensuring reliability in clinical diagnostics, biomedical engineering, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines

This accessory supports advanced microscopy workflows focusing on polarization contrast enhancement and is critical in laboratories engaged in neuroscience imaging, biomanufacturing quality control, and gene editing research.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
