Olympus WI-UCD LWD Universal Condenser

The Olympus WI-UCD long working distance universal condenser is specifically engineered for advanced water immersion microscopy applications on Olympus BX51WI and BX61WI microscopes. 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. The universal design supports multiple imaging modes including brightfield, DIC, and polarization microscopy. The integrated 4-position rotatable polarizer enables DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) microscopy and polarization applications, providing enhanced contrast for transparent specimens. Compatible with Olympus BX51WI and BX61WI water immersion microscope configurations, this condenser is essential for neuroscience, electrophysiology, and live-tissue imaging applications. The long working distance accommodates the unique requirements of water immersion microscopy where objectives are dipped directly into aqueous solutions. Excellent condition ensures optimal optical performance and reliable operation for demanding research applications.
