Olympus BX51 Upright Fluorescence Microscope with Mechanical Stage and Digital Imaging
Product Description
The Olympus BX51 Upright Fluorescence Microscope is an advanced microscopy platform designed for brightfield and fluorescence imaging in biological, material science, and biotechnological research. It features a mechanical Z-axis, allowing precise focus control, and a mechanical XY stage for accurate specimen positioning. Integrated with a trinocular head and camera port, it supports simultaneous visual observation and digital image acquisition.
Key technical specifications include:
- Optical System: Olympus UIS2 optical system ensures sharp, bright images with excellent fluorescence performance.
- Fluorescence Illumination: Equipped with a 100 W full-spectrum HBO mercury lamp and power supply optimized for high-intensity fluorescence excitation.
- Fluorescence Filter Cube Turret: Mechanical 6-position turret loaded with three brand-new fluorescence filter sets, selectable among DAPI, FITC/EYFP, Texas Red, Cy5, and others, enabling multi-channel fluorescence imaging compatible with common fluorochromes like AlexaFluor dyes and GFP.
- Brightfield Illumination: 100 W halogen light source integrated into the microscope base provides consistent brightfield illumination.
- Objectives: Supplied with UplanFL infinity-corrected objectives (4x, 10x, 20x) optimized for fluorescence and brightfield applications; supports installation of higher magnification and high numerical aperture objectives.
- Camera and Imaging Software: Includes an 8.3MP Bestscope color CMOS camera coupled via 1x C-mount adapter and a Dell laptop running Windows 10 with Micromanager and ImageJ for image capture, annotation, calibration, and quantitative measurement workflows essential in cell imaging and molecular diagnostics.
- Stage and Focus: Mechanical XY stage and coarse/fine focusing knobs provide precise sample manipulation, critical for high-resolution live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
- Modularity and Customization: Supports add-ons such as phase contrast, DIC, polarization, motorized stages, high-end sCMOS or EMCCD cameras, and alternative fluorescence light sources (LED, xenon, metal halide) making it adaptable for diverse applications including gene editing studies, synthetic biology, and bioprocess monitoring.
- Warranty and Service: Delivered fully serviced with internal optics cleaned, fluorescence intensity verified at the specimen plane, mechanical parts lubricated, and a standard 180-day US warranty (60-day international), with an optional extended 1-year warranty.
The Olympus BX51 is widely adopted for fluorescence-based cellular and tissue imaging, molecular biology workflows, and biopharmaceutical research, facilitating gene expression analysis, live-cell fluorescence imaging, and bioprocessing quality control. Its ergonomic design and robust construction suit extended laboratory use, while its compatibility with digital imaging systems supports data-rich experimental protocols in modern biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics.
Ideal for researchers seeking a customizable, reliable fluorescence microscope platform, the BX51 combines precise mechanical controls, advanced optical components, and versatile imaging options that meet the stringent demands of biotechnology and life sciences research.
