🔧 Product Description
The Olympus BH2 is one of the most respected and widely used research-grade upright microscopes ever produced, and this fluorescence configuration delivers a complete, immediately deployable system for dual-channel fluorescence and brightfield research. Five D Plan objectives — 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x oil immersion — cover the full magnification range from wide-field tissue survey to high-resolution single-cell oil immersion fluorescence imaging. The vertical fluorescence illuminator with 100W mercury lamphouse and dedicated power supply delivers the excitation intensity required for demanding fluorescence applications across a wide range of fluorophores. Two filter cubes — Blue (FITC) and Green (TRITC) — are included for immediate dual-channel immunofluorescence imaging without additional hardware. The 3-position trinocular head provides full flexibility between observation-only, camera-only, and split modes, supporting documentation, teaching, and live imaging workflows. The right-hand mechanical XY stage with slider holder, Abbe condenser, and 5-place nosepiece support efficient, precise specimen navigation and rapid objective switching. Built on the legendary BH2 platform, this system delivers proven optical quality at an exceptional value for any fluorescence research laboratory.
