Product description

Olympus BX40 microscope with trinocular head, reflected/transmitted light, Plan objectives, and polarizing filters.

The Olympus BX40 is a versatile upright laboratory microscope designed for advanced brightfield and darkfield microscopy with reflected and transmitted illumination capabilities. It features a durable BX40 stand equipped with a trinocular head optimized for both direct observation and camera attachment, making it ideal for live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and molecular diagnostics in biotechnology and biomedical research.

Key specifications include:

  • Eyepieces: Pair of 10x widefield eyepieces for clear, immersive viewing
  • Illumination: Brightfield and darkfield reflected light illuminator (BF/DF), combined with transmitted light using a 12V 100W halogen lamphouse and 6V 30W lamphouse for flexible sample illumination
  • Polarization system: U-PO polarizer slider and U-AN analyzer slider enabling polarized light microscopy, essential for assessing birefringent biological specimens and materials in synthetic biology and bioprocessing research
  • Objectives: 6-position nosepiece holding Plan achromatic objectives (10x, UMPlanFl 20x, UMPlanFl 50x) ensuring sharp, high-contrast imaging
  • Stage and condenser: Right-hand mechanical stage with slide holder and Abbe condenser for precise sample manipulation and optimal light focusing
  • Power supply: TH3 halogen power supply providing stable illumination intensity
  • Accessory inclusions: Spare bulbs and dust cover to maintain equipment longevity

This reliable workstation is widely used in clinical diagnostics, biomanufacturing quality control, and biomedical engineering laboratories due to its adaptability in multiple imaging modes and enhanced optical performance. Serviced and packed by an authorized Olympus technician, the BX40 ensures durability and consistent imaging results, making it critical in gene editing research workflows and a popular choice among molecular biology researchers requiring high-quality optical microscopy for detailed cellular and tissue analysis.

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.
