Olympus WI-OBCD Long Working Distance Oblique Condenser

The Olympus WI-OBCD long working distance oblique condenser is specifically engineered for enhanced contrast imaging in water immersion microscopy applications. Oblique illumination illuminates specimens from an angle rather than directly from below, creating shadow-cast effects that enhance the three-dimensional appearance of transparent specimens and reveal surface details. The exceptional 5.7mm working distance provides adequate clearance for water immersion objectives, micromanipulators, patch-clamp electrodes, and other equipment used in electrophysiology and live-tissue imaging. Compatible with Olympus water immersion microscope configurations, this condenser is essential for applications requiring enhanced contrast visualization with extended working distance. The oblique illumination technique is particularly effective for visualizing cell boundaries, surface structures, and other features that are difficult to see with conventional brightfield illumination. Factory-new condition ensures optimal optical performance and reliable operation for demanding neuroscience, electrophysiology, and live-tissue imaging applications.
