Olympus BX51 Upright Mechanical Z-Axis Fluorescence Microscope with Trinocular Head and Filter Cube Turret
Product Description
The Olympus BX51 is a precision-engineered upright fluorescence microscope optimized for advanced biological and biotechnological research. It features a mechanical Z-axis for fine focus control, a trinocular head with an integrated 1x C-mount camera adapter, and a mechanical 6-position filter cube turret supporting multiple fluorescence applications.
Key technical specifications:
- Optical system: UIS2 system ensuring sharp, bright images and superior fluorescence performance critical for molecular diagnostics and cellular imaging.
- Illumination sources:
- Olympus 100 Watt full spectrum HBO lamp with power supply for fluorescence excitation of common fluorophores (DAPI, FITC, Texas Red, CY3).
- 100 Watt halogen light for brightfield microscopy integrated in the base.
- Filter cubes and sets: Three new filter cubes included. Options for filter sets include DAPI, EGFP/FITC/Cy2, TRITC/Cy3/DsRed, Texas Red, and Cy5, facilitating multiplex fluorescence experiments essential in gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.
- Objectives turret: Mechanical 5-position turret with UplanFL objectives at 4x, 10x, and 20x magnifications; supports add-on high-performance Fluor or APO objectives for enhanced resolution.
- Stage and mechanics: Mechanical XY stage for precise sample manipulation; optional motorized XY stage available for automated sample scanning and bioprocessing applications.
- Camera and imaging: Comes with a Bestscope 8.3MP color CMOS camera, Dell laptop with Windows 10, Micromanager and ImageJ compatible software providing live video capture, image annotation, measurement, and processing features widely used in biomedical engineering and cellular imaging.
- Modular customization: Add-ons include phase contrast, DIC, polarization modules, advanced fluorescence light sources (LED, xenon, or metal halide), and high-end scientific cameras (CCD, sCMOS, EMCCD), meeting diverse requirements in molecular biology and clinical diagnostic research.
- Ergonomics and durability: Robust frame with ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use in laboratory workflows focusing on live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
- Warranty and support: Comes with a 180-day USA warranty (optional 1-year extension), detailed servicing including preventive maintenance, optics cleaning, and fluorescence intensity verification at the sample plane, plus remote training and technical consultation.
Applications include fluorescence labeling of cells and tissues, material science investigations, pharmacological assays, genetic engineering, molecular diagnostics, biomanufacturing research, and educational purposes.
