Product Overview

The Olympus U-PS50MH is the power supply for the Olympus metal halide fluorescence illumination system, compatible with GX, MX, and BX series microscopes. Metal halide lamps offer several advantages over traditional mercury arc lamps for fluorescence microscopy: a longer service life (typically 2,000 hours vs. 200–300 hours for mercury), a more uniform and spectrally balanced output across the UV and visible range with fewer pronounced intensity spikes, and more consistent output intensity throughout the lamp's service life. The U-PS50MH provides stable, regulated electrical current to the metal halide lamp, ensuring reliable ignition, consistent output intensity, and safe operation. It is the correct OEM power supply for Olympus metal halide fluorescence systems on GX, MX, and BX series platforms — an essential replacement or spare for laboratories running metal halide fluorescence illumination on these microscope series. This unit is in excellent condition at a significant discount from the list price.
