The Olympus BH2 Phase Contrast Microscope is a classic, research-grade upright system in excellent condition β configured with 10x, 40x, and 100x phase contrast objectives, a turret phase condenser, and a 3-position trinocular head for simultaneous observation and camera documentation of unstained living cells and transparent specimens. π¬ 10x, 40x, and 100x phase contrast objectives covering routine cell observation through high-resolution oil immersion phase contrast imaging π Turret phase condenser for rapid, convenient phase annulus switching between objectives π· 3-position trinocular head: eyes / camera / eyes & camera simultaneously β for maximum observation and documentation flexibility ποΈ Olympus BH2 research-grade platform with a long track record in cell biology and biomedical research laboratories worldwide ποΈ 10x eyepieces for comfortable, high-contrast observation β Condition: Excellent β inspected and performance-verified π§ Product Description The Olympus BH2 is one of the most respected and widely used research-grade upright microscopes ever produced, with a decades-long track record in cell biology, microbiology, and biomedical research laboratories worldwide. This phase contrast configuration delivers reliable, high-quality phase contrast imaging across three key magnifications. The 10x phase contrast objective enables wide-field cell survey and routine monitoring of cell cultures and biological specimens. The 40x phase contrast objective provides detailed cellular imaging for morphology assessment and subcellular observation. The 100x phase contrast objective enables high-resolution oil immersion phase contrast imaging for the finest cellular and subcellular detail β including bacteria, organelles, and fine structural features. The turret phase condenser provides rapid, convenient switching between phase annuli matched to each objective. The 3-position trinocular head supports simultaneous binocular observation and camera documentation, making this system well-suited for research, teaching, and imaging workflows. In excellent condition, this is an outstanding value for any laboratory requiring reliable phase contrast performance on a proven research platform. π Typical Applications Phase contrast imaging of living cells and unstained biological specimens Microbiology and bacteriology observation at 100x oil immersion Cell morphology assessment and viability observation Routine cell culture monitoring and quality control Digital documentation and photomicrography via trinocular port Teaching and training in phase contrast microscopy techniques π Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus BH2 Head 3-position trinocular (eyes / camera / eyes & camera) Eyepieces 10x Objectives 10x Phase Contrast, 40x Phase Contrast, 100x Phase Contrast (oil) Condenser Turret phase condenser Condition Excellent SKU BH2-PHASE Country of Origin Japan Weight 25 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
