🔧 Product Description

The Olympus CROSSWHN10X is a 10x widefield eyepiece with a precision crosshair reticle and locking pin, engineered for use with Olympus BX Series polarized light microscopes. The crosshair reticle is essential for aligning specimens to the optical axis during polarimetry, mineralogy, and crystallography work — enabling accurate extinction angle measurements and crystal orientation analysis.

The locking pin mechanism allows the crosshair to be fixed at a precise rotational position, ensuring consistent and repeatable measurements across multiple samples or sessions. This is particularly critical in geological thin section analysis, pharmaceutical crystallography, and materials science applications where angular precision directly impacts data quality.

As a factory-new Olympus component, the CROSSWHN10X integrates seamlessly into the BX41P, BX43P, BX51P, and BX53P optical systems without optical compromise or vignetting.

🔎 Typical Applications

• Polarized light microscopy and polarimetry
• Geological thin section and mineralogy analysis
• Pharmaceutical and chemical crystallography
