Product description

Olympus BX53 polarizing trinocular microscope with Bertrand lens, fluorescence turret, and oil immersion objective.

The Olympus BX53 Pol Polarizing Microscope is a versatile research-grade trinocular microscope designed for advanced microscopy applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and materials science. Key features include:

  • Optical Components:
  • Olympus BX53 stand with both transmitted and reflected light illumination
  • Fluorescence turret equipped with a Brightfield cube, enabling multi-modal imaging essential for cell imaging and fluorescence analysis
  • Bertrand lens (U-CPA) for examining conoscopic images, critical in crystallography and polarizing applications
  • Polarizing components including U-AN360P Analyzer and U-POTP3 Polarizer, facilitating detailed birefringence and anisotropy studies
  • Head and Eyepieces:
  • Trinocular head for simultaneous viewing and digital imaging via the 0.5x camera adapter
  • Pair of WHN 10x/22 eyepieces optimized for comfortable observation
  • Objectives and Nosepiece:
  • Four high-quality objectives:
  • Achromatic 10x/0.25P
  • Achromatic 20x/0.40P
  • UPlanFl 40x/0.75P
  • UPlanFl 100x/1.30 Oil immersion
  • 4-position centering nosepiece (U-P4RE) allowing precise objective alignment, crucial for reproducible molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing research
  • Stage and Condenser:
  • Polarizing rotating stage with slide holder for easy specimen manipulation
  • U-POC-2 flip-out condenser with polarizer to enhance contrast and resolution in polarizing microscopy
  • Illumination and Filters:
  • Dual 12V 100W halogen lamphouses with spare bulbs ensure stable and bright lighting conditions for long-term imaging
  • Built-in optical filters: ND6, ND25, and LBD to control light intensity and improve image quality
  • Condition and Service:
  • Professionally serviced by an Authorized Olympus Microscope Technician, ensuring peak performance and reliability

This microscope is highly suited for biotechnology laboratories, supporting applications such as biopharmaceutical quality control, synthetic biology research, and live-cell imaging workflows. Its advanced polarizing features and fluorescence capabilities make it essential for molecular cloning and gene editing studies requiring precise optical analysis. Customization options for additional objectives and parts are available to tailor the system for specific research needs in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing environments.

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.
