Olympus BH2 Phase Contrast Condenser

The Olympus BH2 phase contrast condenser (BH2-PC) is specifically engineered to provide complete phase contrast microscopy capability for Olympus BH2 series microscopes. This turret condenser features four phase positions corresponding to 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x phase contrast objectives, enabling phase contrast imaging across a wide magnification range. Phase contrast microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained specimens by converting phase shifts in light passing through the specimen into amplitude changes, making cellular structures visible without staining. The turret design allows rapid switching between magnifications by simply rotating the turret to the appropriate position, eliminating the need to change condensers. Compatible with Olympus BH2 series microscopes including BHT, BHTU, and BHS models, this condenser is ideal for live-cell imaging, tissue culture observation, and any application requiring phase contrast visualization. Excellent condition with flawless optics ensures optimal imaging performance and reliable operation for demanding laboratory, clinical, and educational microscopy applications.
