Olympus BX60 Brightfield Darkfield Reflected Light DIC Microscope

The Olympus BX60M is a premier reflected light research microscope, and this configuration represents one of the most complete and capable setups available for materials characterization and industrial inspection. The reflected light brightfield/darkfield illuminator with 12V 100W quartz halogen lamphouse delivers bright, stable illumination across all five UM Plan FL BD objectives — 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, and 100x — providing flat-field, high-contrast imaging from low-power survey to high-resolution surface detail. The U-DICR Nomarski prism slider, combined with the U-AN360 360° rotatable analyzer and U-PO polarizer, enables reflected light DIC imaging that reveals surface topography, grain boundaries, thin film structures, and microelectronic features with exceptional contrast and three-dimensional relief. Darkfield mode highlights surface defects, scratches, and particles that are invisible in brightfield. The 5-place BD nosepiece accommodates all five objectives for rapid magnification switching. The 3-position trinocular head supports simultaneous observation and digital documentation, while the right-hand mechanical XY stage with stage finger enables precise, repeatable specimen positioning. In excellent condition, this system ships complete with instruction manual, extra bulbs, and dust cover.
