Product description

Olympus BX51 microscope with DIC contrast, 10x–100x fluorite objectives, trinocular port, halogen illumination.

The Olympus BX51 is a versatile research-grade compound microscope optimized for advanced differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging, essential in molecular diagnostics, cell imaging, and biotechnology research. Featuring a trinocular head for seamless digital camera integration, it supports high-resolution visualization critical for fluorescence analysis and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

  • High-quality fluorite objectives: UPlanFL N 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x oil immersion, providing sharp, chromatic-aberration corrected imaging suitable for detailed cellular and subcellular examination.
  • DIC optical components: Equipped with a DIC condenser with polarizer and four distinct DIC prisms (U-DIC10, U-DIC20, U-DIC40, U-DIC100) enabling enhanced contrast for transparent specimens, widely adopted in synthetic biology research and live-cell imaging.
  • Trinocular port: Supports camera attachment, facilitating documentation and image analysis workflows common in biomanufacturing and molecular cloning workflows.
  • Illumination system: 12V 100W halogen lamphouse provides stable, adjustable brightfield and contrast-enhanced lighting required for precise sample observation.
  • Ergonomic components: Includes right-hand stage with slide holder, WH 10x/22 widefield eyepieces, and 4-position centering nosepiece for efficient multi-magnification imaging.

Authorized Olympus service and warranty backing ensure reliable performance in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering laboratories. The BX51 is critical for researchers requiring robust, sensitive microscopy in neuroscience, biotechnology, and cell biology applications that demand superior DIC contrast and fluorescence capabilities.

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.
