Olympus BX41 Phase Contrast Microscope

The Olympus BX41 is one of the most capable and widely adopted upright research microscopes in its class, and this phase contrast configuration delivers a complete, immediately deployable system for brightfield, phase contrast, and darkfield research. Five Plan objectives — 4x brightfield, and 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x phase contrast — cover the full magnification range from low-power survey to high-resolution oil immersion phase contrast imaging, enabling detailed observation of unstained living cells and transparent specimens at every scale. The 5-position phase turret condenser with darkfield stop provides instant access to brightfield, phase contrast at multiple annuli, and darkfield modes without changing hardware. The IF550 green interference filter optimizes phase contrast image contrast and resolution. The 3-position trinocular head with C-mount adapter offers full flexibility between observation-only, camera-only, and simultaneous modes — supporting documentation, teaching, and live imaging workflows. The right-hand mechanical stage with stage clip enables precise, controlled slide navigation. Built on the BX41 platform with UIS2 infinity-corrected optics, this system delivers research-grade optical performance. Ships complete with power cord, dust cover, and instruction manual.
