Product Overview

The Olympus U-LH100 is a 12V 100W halogen lamphouse for Olympus BX, GX, and IX series microscopes, providing high-intensity transmitted light illumination for brightfield, phase contrast, DIC, polarized light, and other transmitted light contrast methods. The 100W tungsten-halogen lamp delivers a broad-spectrum, continuous visible light output with a smooth spectral profile — well suited for Köhler illumination setups and color-accurate brightfield imaging. As a cost-effective and powerful entry-level halogen light source, the U-LH100 is the standard transmitted light lamphouse for BX, GX, and IX series microscopes, providing reliable illumination for routine laboratory, clinical, and research microscopy without the complexity or cost of LED or mercury arc alternatives. The halogen lamp is field-replaceable, making ongoing maintenance straightforward. Built to Olympus factory specifications, the U-LH100 ensures consistent photometric performance and a guaranteed fit on BX, GX, and IX series platforms. This unit is in new condition.
