Olympus BH2-RFL HBO Mercury Fluorescence Power Supply

The Olympus BH2-RFL is the power supply for the 100W mercury arc (HBO 100) lamphouse on Olympus BH2, BX, and IX series fluorescence microscopes. It provides stable, regulated electrical current to the mercury arc lamp, ensuring reliable ignition, consistent output intensity, and safe operation throughout the lamp’s service life. The 100W mercury arc lamp produces intense, broad-spectrum UV and visible light with characteristic high-intensity emission peaks at wavelengths aligned with the excitation spectra of all common fluorophores — including DAPI (360nm), FITC/GFP (490nm), TRITC/mCherry (550nm), and Texas Red (590nm) — making it a versatile and powerful fluorescence excitation source for multi-label immunofluorescence, FISH, and live cell fluorescence imaging. The BH2-RFL is the correct OEM power supply for the BH2 series mercury fluorescence system, and is also compatible with BX and IX series platforms. It is an essential replacement or spare for laboratories running 100W mercury fluorescence illumination on BH2, BX, or IX series microscopes. This unit is in excellent condition at a significant discount from the list price. Note: mercury arc lamps require careful handling and disposal in accordance with local regulations due to mercury content.
