Olympus BX46F Upright Fluorescence Microscope with Metal Halide Illumination and Digital Imaging
Product Description
The Olympus BX46F Upright Fluorescence Microscope is a versatile research-grade microscope designed for advanced fluorescence and brightfield imaging. It integrates a robust Olympus BX46 upright base with a U-TR30-2 trinocular head supporting dual 10×/22 eyepieces for ergonomic and simultaneous visual and camera observation, critical for biomedical engineering, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows.
Key features include:
- Fluorescence illumination provided by an EXFO X-Cite 120 metal halide light source with a light guide and collimating adapter, enabling stable and intense excitation for sensitive fluorescence detection essential in gene expression analysis and live-cell imaging.
- A 6-position fluorescence filter cube turret loaded with three new high-performance fluorescence filter sets (selectable from DAPI, FITC/EGFP, Texas Red, CY5), supporting multicolor fluorescence assays widely adopted in molecular biology and bioprocessing research.
- Brightfield illumination utilizes an integrated U-LHLEDC LED lamp with built-in power supply, allowing high-contrast transmitted light imaging suitable for morphological studies and differential interference contrast (via optional add-ons).
- Optical path supported by five-position mechanical objective turret loaded with high-quality UPlanFLN objectives (4×/0.13, 10×/0.30, 20×/0.50, with optional 40×) for flexible magnification from 40× to 400×, essential for cellular and tissue characterization in biomedical research.
- Precise U-SVRD-2 mechanical XY stage offers smooth, accurate sample positioning for slide, Petri dishes, or microplate scanning, enabling high-throughput and multipoint fluorescence analyses critical to biomanufacturing workflows.
- Camera integration via BestScope 8.3MP color CMOS digital camera combined with computer and proprietary software for image acquisition, documentation, and quantitative fluorescence intensity analysis important in molecular cloning and synthetic biology applications.
- Optional motorized enhancements including motorized stage, Z-axis focus drives, filter cube turret, and objective turret for automated imaging and high-content screening.
The microscope is supplied fully serviced, with preventive maintenance performed, validated fluorescence intensity and image quality calibration at the sample plane to ensure field uniformity and optical precision. The system supports customization tailored to specific applications such as fluorescence live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, protein localization, microbial fluorescence microscopy, and tissue histology.
Its modularity and upgrade options — including high-end sCMOS or EMCCD cameras, advanced fluorescence illumination (LED, Xenon), and phase contrast/DIC components — make the Olympus BX46F essential for researchers demanding reliable, high-resolution fluorescence microscopy solutions in cell imaging, molecular diagnostics, and biotechnology research. The integrated warranty and remote training ensure dependable post-sale support for sustained laboratory performance.
