🔧 Product Description

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.

🔎 Typical Applications

• 100W mercury fluorescence on BH2, BX, or IX series — replacement or spare power supply for existing HBO 100 mercury lamphouse systems
• Multi-label immunofluorescence — DAPI, FITC, TRITC, and Texas Red excitation for antibody-tagged targets in fixed tissue and cell samples
• FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) — high-intensity mercury excitation for probe detection in cytogenetics and pathology
• Live cell fluorescence imaging — GFP, mCherry, and other fluorescent protein excitation on BH2, BX, or IX series platforms
• Core facility and multi-user environments requiring a reliable replacement or spare 100W mercury power supply
