The Olympus BX46 Upright Biological Microscope is a purpose-built, ergonomic microscope designed for the demands of repetitive routine pathology and laboratory use — featuring a tilting/telescoping ergonomic head, fixed low-profile stage, and a comprehensive six-objective set from 2x to 40x for versatile brightfield observation. 🔬 Six Plan N objectives: 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x — covering an exceptionally wide magnification range from ultra-low power to high-resolution detail 🪑 Tilting/telescoping ergonomic head for customizable viewing angle and reduced fatigue during extended observation sessions 📍 Right-hand low-profile fixed stage with movable nosepiece focusing — keeps specimens close to desk surface for natural, comfortable hand positioning 🔍 5-place nosepiece with turret condenser and swing-out top lens for versatile contrast and magnification switching ✅ Condition: New — full manufacturer warranty applies 🔧 Product Description The Olympus BX46 is engineered specifically for the ergonomic demands of repetitive routine microscopy in pathology, histology, and clinical laboratory environments. Unlike conventional upright microscopes, the BX46 features a fixed low-profile stage that keeps specimens close to the desk surface — reducing arm and shoulder strain during high-volume slide review. Focusing is achieved through the movable nosepiece rather than the stage, further minimizing hand movement and fatigue. The tilting and telescoping ergonomic head allows each user to customize the viewing angle and eyepiece height for their individual posture, making it one of the most comfortable microscopes available for extended daily use. Six Plan N objectives — 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x — provide an exceptionally wide magnification range, with the 2x objective enabling ultra-low power tissue mapping that most laboratory microscopes cannot offer. The 5-place nosepiece with turret condenser and swing-out top lens supports efficient contrast and magnification switching. Supplied new, this system is ready for immediate deployment in any pathology or laboratory setting. 🔎 Typical Applications Routine pathology and histology slide review High-volume clinical laboratory brightfield observation Cytology and hematology examination Ultra-low power tissue mapping at 2x Ergonomic daily-use microscopy for repetitive workflows Teaching and training in pathology and laboratory medicine 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus BX46 with 5-place nosepiece Head Tilting/telescoping ergonomic binocular Eyepieces 10x Widefield Objectives Plan N 2x, Plan N 4x, Plan N 10x, Plan N 20x, Plan N 40x Condenser Turret condenser with swing-out top lens Stage Right-hand low-profile fixed stage (focusing via movable nosepiece) Focusing Movable nosepiece Condition New SKU BX46 Country of Origin Japan Weight 50 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
