Ultimate Imaging Systems Adaptable to Your Exact Workflow

Olympus has previewed the new BX3 upright research microscope system, which delivers unmatched adaptability at all levels. Following on from the highly successful BX2 range, the BX3 systems provide users with a ‘blank canvas’ to fully define their own working environment: from the microscope and imaging components to software workflows, GUIs and the positioning of the controls on the desktop. The manual BX53 frame offers complete system flexibility with optional coded and automated modules and the BX63 frame provides advanced automation as standard.

The BX63 has been developed with a unique, personalisible control concept, providing the user with multiple options for managing the entire microscopy and imaging process. At the forefront of this concept is the programmable touchpanel control that greatly simplifies observation and imaging tasks, and can be placed wherever the user would like.

The BX63 can also be fitted with a detachable remote control providing the effect of traditional mechanical knobs for adjusting focus (Z) and stage position (X, Y). Furthermore, the unit also features buttons for changing between observation methods, objectives and mirror units, as well as for adjusting light intensity.

As well as the standard halogen light source, the Olympus BX63 can be fitted with a novel true-colour LED system. Olympus has introduced a new fluorescence illumination concept based around the unique fly-eye lens system, which provides unmatched homogeneity for fluorescence illumination, ensuring even illumination across the entire field of view, whatever the wavelength. With the capability to use mercury or xenon arc burners, highly stabilised EXFO X-Cite arc-burners, as well as the CoolLED fluorescent LED systems, users have an extensive choice for their fluorescence illumination.

As a result, the Olympus BX3 microscopes combine perfectly with imaging modules, cameras and the cellSens software programmes to enable users to build a system intimately designed to their specific needs.
