Olympus BX51 Upright Fluorescence Microscope with Mechanical Stage and Advanced Imaging Capability
Product Description
The Olympus BX51 Upright Fluorescence Microscope is a versatile optical microscopy platform designed for advanced fluorescence and brightfield imaging. Equipped with a robust UIS2 optical system, this microscope supports a wide range of biomedical and material science research applications including biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cellular imaging essential for gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.
Key technical features include:
- Microscopy Techniques: Brightfield and fluorescence with optional phase contrast, DIC, and polarization enhancements.
- Optical System: Olympus UIS2 optics providing high-resolution, field distortion–free images with uniform fluorescence intensity at the specimen plane.
- Illumination Sources:
- Fluorescence: Olympus 100W HBO full-spectrum lamp and power supply optimized for multiple fluorochromes.
- Brightfield: Olympus 100W halogen light source integrated into base.
- Fluorescence Filter Cube Turret: Mechanical 6-position turret with three included brand-new filter sets (e.g., DAPI, FITC/EGFP, TRITC/Cy3) supporting a variety of dyes critical for molecular biology and bioprocessing research.
- Objectives: UplanFL series objectives (4x, 10x, 20x) mounted on a mechanical 5-position turret with upgrade options for high numerical aperture (NA) or APO objectives to enhance resolution in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
- Stage and Focusing: Large mechanical XY stage with smooth coarse and fine focusing controls tailored for precise sample positioning and multi-slide or microplate scanning workflows.
- Imaging: Trinocular head with flexible beam split configurations (eyepiece/camera ratios), 1x C-mount camera adapter, and included Bestscope 8.3MP color CMOS camera paired with Dell Windows 10 laptop running Micromanager with ImageJ for advanced image acquisition, live video capture, calibration, annotation, and quantitative analysis.
- Customization & Upgrade Options: Enhanced fluorescence light sources (Xenon, LED, Metal Halide), motorized XY stage, shutter automation, high-end CCD/sCMOS/EMCCD cameras, and additional fluorescence filter sets. Supports biopharmaceutical imaging pipelines and synthetic biology research requirements.
Applications span:
- Molecular biology and genetic engineering research
- Cellular and tissue fluorescence imaging
- Material science and quality control analysis
- Pharmacological and biomedical investigations
- Biotechnological bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics
- Educational and training environments
This modular microscope system ensures easy upgrade paths and ergonomic design for extended use, complying with the needs of modern biotechnology laboratories. The BX51 model is a predecessor to the Olympus BX53 but remains a critical tool for researchers requiring customizable fluorescence imaging solutions.
Warranty and Support: Comes with continental USA 180-day warranty (60 days international), optional extension to 1-year. Includes preventive maintenance, optics and fluorescence intensity verified at the specimen plane, new fluorescence filters installed, and remote training to ensure optimal usage.
This microscope is widely adopted in molecular biology and biotechnology facilities for fluorescent labeling essential to molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, making it a reliable, service-backed option for research professionals demanding precise fluorescence microscopy capabilities.
