This phase contrast configuration delivers reliable, high-quality phase contrast imaging across three key magnifications. The 10x phase contrast objective enables wide-field cell survey and routine monitoring of cell cultures and biological specimens. The 40x phase contrast objective provides detailed cellular imaging for morphology assessment and subcellular observation. The 100x phase contrast objective enables high-resolution oil immersion phase contrast imaging for the finest cellular and subcellular detail — including bacteria, organelles, and fine structural features. The turret phase condenser provides rapid, convenient switching between phase annuli matched to each objective. The 3-position trinocular head supports simultaneous binocular observation and camera documentation, making this system well-suited for research, teaching, and imaging workflows. In excellent condition, this is an outstanding value for any laboratory requiring reliable phase contrast performance on a proven research platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif; color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase contrast imaging of living cells and unstained biological specimens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrobiology and bacteriology observation at 100x oil immersion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell morphology assessment and viability observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoutine cell culture monitoring and quality control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital documentation and photomicrography via trinocular port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching and training in phase contrast microscopy techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif; color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eOlympus BH2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eHead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3-position trinocular (eyes \/ camera \/ eyes \u0026amp; camera)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eEyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e10x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eObjectives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e10x Phase Contrast, 40x Phase Contrast, 100x Phase Contrast (oil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCondenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eTurret phase condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBH2-PHASE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e25 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif; color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversity and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
