Quick answer: An Olympus digital microscope gives you access to technologies designed to help you perform accurate and efficient inspections. Steede Medical makes it easier to find an Olympus microscope suited to your inspection needs.
Get more from your available bench space
Instead of setting aside room for several microscope systems, you can choose a flexible setup that handles a wider range of inspection work.
The Olympus BX53 lets you configure the system with modular components for observation methods such as phase contrast and fluorescence. With LED illumination, you can observe with more brightness comparable to or greater than a 100 W halogen lamp. This gives you the illumination you need for different contrast techniques.
If space matters even more, particularly in a teaching lab, the Olympus CX23 gives you a more compact design. It has a field number of 20, so students have a wider field of view when examining specimens. You can also see flatter images across your field of view and inspect the specimen more clearly, thanks to the achromat objectives.
Inspect specimens more comfortably
Working with specimens at different heights can become tricky when there isn’t much room between the objective and the sample. You need to position everything carefully to avoid accidentally bringing the specimen into contact with the objective.
With an Olympus digital microscope such as the Olympus CX43 or even the CX33, you benefit from a low-positioned stage that lets you handle specimens safely and more comfortably. It lets you see the stage from the eyepoint, so you can position and check specimens without unnecessary adjustments.
Meanwhile, you can easily move through different stages of the specimen by lightly touching the stage knob. When you’re working at higher magnifications, a focusing stopper helps prevent the specimen from accidentally hitting the objective.
Make digital imaging part of your workflow
With an Olympus digital microscope, you also benefit from advanced imaging that simplifies inspections especially when examining specific details or documenting your observations.
The Olympus BX53 supports this by using LED illumination with spectral characteristics similar to those of halogen light sources. This allows you to see purple and cyan, and even pink tones — colors that are particularly helpful in clinical research. At the same time, you get the longer operating life associated with LED illumination.
You can also pair compatible digital microscope cameras from Olympus with cellSens imaging software. This combination supports fluorescence imaging with a high signal-to-noise ratio, so you can capture clearer images for examination and documentation.
