🔧 Product Description

The Olympus 10X Dispersion Staining Objective is a specialized optical tool used for dispersion staining — a technique that exploits differences in refractive index between a particle and its mounting medium to produce characteristic color patterns. The central stop design blocks direct transmitted light, allowing only diffracted light to form the image, which reveals the dispersion colors used to identify asbestos fibers, mineral particles, and other materials. Compatible with Olympus BH2 and CH2 series microscopes via RMS thread and 160mm tube length.


🔎 Typical Applications

  • Asbestos fiber identification and analysis
  • Dispersion staining for particle and mineral identification
  • Environmental and industrial hygiene microscopy
  • Refractive index matching and material characterization
  • University and research laboratory use
