Product Overview

The Olympus SZX2-COBH is the oblique high contrast cartridge designed exclusively for the SZX2-ILLTQ transmitted illumination base. By shifting the illumination axis off-center, oblique illumination creates directional shadowing that dramatically enhances surface relief, edge definition, and fine structural detail — making it ideal for specimens that appear flat or featureless under conventional bright field. The high contrast variant maximizes this effect, delivering the strongest differentiation between raised and recessed features. Installation is tool-free: the cartridge drops directly into the SZX2-ILLTQ cartridge port and can be swapped with other SZX2 contrast cartridges in seconds. Built to Olympus factory specifications, the SZX2-COBH ensures consistent optical performance and a guaranteed fit with no realignment required.
