Product description

Olympus CH-2 monocular compound microscope with 0.25, 0.65, 1.25 oil immersion objectives, ideal for cell imaging.

The Olympus CH-2 with CH-M045-T is a monocular compound microscope widely employed in biological and biomedical engineering research for detailed cellular and tissue analysis. It features a robust optical system paired with objectives of varying numerical apertures:

  • E A10 0.25 NA (160/-) objective for low-power observation;
  • E A40 0.65 NA (160/0.17) objective for mid-range magnification suitable for fluorescence analysis;
  • E A100 1.25 NA oil immersion (160/-) objective optimized for high-resolution imaging requiring oil for enhanced numerical aperture and image clarity.

The microscope includes an eyepiece CWHK10X-T/18L, delivering precise and crisp visualization critical for molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.

This model is essential in laboratories focused on live-cell imaging, clinical diagnostics, and bioprocessing applications, enabling detailed examination of microscopic biological specimens.

*Note:* The unit, sourced from surplus inventory, retains good cosmetic condition; however, the Y-axis stage control is currently seized and may require servicing. All optics—eyepieces and objectives—have been inspected and appear clear, ensuring reliable optical performance. A dust cover is included for equipment protection.

This Olympus CH-2 configuration is widely adopted in biotechnology research, critical for gene editing studies and biomanufacturing quality control processes demanding precision optical microscopy with oil immersion 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.
