Product description

The Olympus BX51 is a research-grade upright fluorescence microscope optimized for Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and advanced digital imaging applications in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. Equipped with a trinocular head and paired with a high-sensitivity Tucsen Michrome 5 Pro camera, it supports precise fluorescence imaging critical for gene editing and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

  • Microscope stand: BX51 with rigid construction and modular adaptability
  • Optical configuration:
  • Trinocular head for simultaneous visual observation and camera imaging
  • Pair of WH10X/22 eyepieces for detailed sample visualization
  • 0.63X camera adapter compatible with high-resolution digital cameras
  • Fluorescence illumination:
  • Mercury lamphouse (12V, 100W) with power supply plus two spare bulbs ensuring stable excitation
  • 6-position fluorescence turret enabling rapid filter cube exchange
  • Filter set optimized for FISH applications:
  • Six custom fluorescence filter cubes (Orange, Gold, D/O/G, G-Ov2, Aqua, Y-GFP) suitable for multiplexed biomarker detection
  • Custom filter cube options available for specialized research needs
  • Objectives: Four Plan Fluorite objectives optimized for fluorescence: 4x/0.13, 10x/0.40, 40x/0.75, 100x/1.30 Oil immersion
  • Mechanical components:
  • 5-position nosepiece for objective interchange
  • Right-handed mechanical stage with slide holder supporting precise sample positioning
  • Abbe condenser with built-in daylight blue and neutral density filters for illumination control
  • Illumination alternatives: Compatible with LED light guides from CoolLED, Excelitas, and Lumencor for reduced phototoxicity and improved fluorescence excitation
  • Digital imaging: Tucsen Michrome 5 Pro camera included, ideal for capturing high-resolution fluorescence images for downstream analysis in cell imaging and synthetic biology research

This microscope system is extensively serviced and assembled by an Authorized Olympus Microscope Technician, ensuring reliability and calibration for critical research environments. The Olympus BX51 system is widely adopted in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, and biotechnology laboratories, making it essential equipment for molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring accurate fluorescence visualization and documentation.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
