Olympus BX51 upright microscope with DIC, phase contrast, trinocular head, and Tucsen 5MP camera for advanced cell imaging.
The Olympus BX51 is a high-performance upright research microscope designed for advanced biotechnology and cell imaging applications. It features a trinocular head facilitating simultaneous observation and high-resolution imaging via the included Tucsen Michrome 5 Pro 5MP camera with a 0.5x C-mount adapter. The microscope is equipped with a 6-position nosepiece housing five precision objectives tailored for multiple contrast methods:
Optical components include the U-DICT DIC prism slider, U-ANT analyzer, and a BH2-UCD DIC condenser with rotating polarizer, adapted with BX51 model DIC prisms, supporting DIC at 40x and 100x and phase contrast at 10x, 20x, and 40x magnifications. The condenser supports U-DP40 and U-DP100 DIC prisms as well as phase rings for Ph1 and Ph2 contrast techniques.
Illumination is supplied by a 12V 100W halogen lamphouse, complete with spare bulb and dust cover, ensuring stable and bright illumination necessary for both fluorescence and differential interference contrast applications commonly used in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology research, and bioprocessing workflows.
The right-hand mechanical stage with slide holder offers precise specimen manipulation essential for live-cell imaging and detailed microscopy analyses. This unit has been professionally serviced and tested by an authorized Olympus technician, ensuring reliability for critical biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics workflows.
Overall, the Olympus BX51 microscope system is widely adopted in biotechnology labs requiring versatile imaging modalities including DIC and phase contrast, making it a critical instrument for gene editing studies, biomanufacturing quality control, and molecular cloning workflows.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
