Olympus BX51 Fluorescence & DIC NOMARSKI Microscope

The Olympus BX51 is one of the most capable and widely adopted upright research microscopes ever produced, and this configuration combines two of the most powerful contrast techniques in light microscopy — DIC/Nomarski and fluorescence — in a single, fully integrated system. The transmitted light DIC system features an 8-place turret condenser with DIC prisms matched to the 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x objectives, a U-DICT rotatable Nomarski slider, and a U-ANT analyzer — delivering exceptional contrast and three-dimensional relief imaging of transparent specimens without staining. Five UPlanFL fluorite objectives — 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x — provide flat-field, high-transmission imaging optimized for both DIC and fluorescence across the full magnification range. The 6-cube turret fluorescence vertical illuminator and 100W mercury lamphouse support multicolor fluorescence imaging across a wide range of fluorophores. The 12V 100W quartz halogen transmitted illumination provides stable brightfield and DIC illumination. The trinocular head with C-mount camera port enables direct camera attachment for documentation and imaging. The right-hand XY mechanical stage and 6-place nosepiece support efficient, precise specimen navigation and rapid magnification switching. This is a complete, immediately deployable research microscope system.
