This turnkey system combines Olympus's renowned BX51 upright microscope platform with high-performance fluorescence illumination, a comprehensive objective set, and advanced imaging capabilities—ready for immediate deployment in research laboratories, clinical facilities, and educational institutions. The Olympus BX51 represents the gold standard in upright research microscopy, featuring the UIS2 (Universal Infinity System) optical design that delivers exceptional image quality, flat-field performance, and chromatic correction across the visible spectrum. The infinity-corrected optical path enables integration of fluorescence illuminators, DIC optics, polarization accessories, and camera systems without introducing optical aberrations. The EXFO X-Cite 120 fluorescence illumination system provides high-intensity 120-watt metal halide illumination optimized for multi-color fluorescence imaging. The X-Cite 120 delivers broad-spectrum output from UV through visible wavelengths, enabling excitation of all common fluorophores including DAPI, FITC, GFP, TRITC, Texas Red, Cy5, and others. The metal halide lamp provides consistent, stable illumination with excellent color rendering and minimal intensity fluctuation—critical for quantitative fluorescence measurements and time-lapse imaging. The BX-URA2 fluorescence illuminator features a 6-position filter cube turret with rotatable front, enabling rapid switching between fluorescence channels without disturbing the specimen. The rotatable front design allows the illuminator to be positioned for optimal ergonomics and workflow. The 6-position turret accommodates multiple filter sets for multi-color imaging applications. The 3-position trinocular head provides exceptional flexibility for visual observation and digital imaging: 100% Eyepieces — All light directed to eyepieces for visual observation 100% Camera — All light directed to camera port for maximum imaging sensitivity Split Beam — Light divided between eyepieces and camera for simultaneous viewing and imaging This versatility enables operators to optimize the system for visual screening, digital documentation, or interactive imaging workflows. The complete 5-objective set provides comprehensive magnification coverage: Plan 4× — Low-magnification survey and specimen location UPlanFL 10× — General-purpose observation and fluorescence imaging UPlanFL 20× — Medium-magnification cellular imaging UPlanFL 40× — High-resolution cellular and subcellular imaging UPlanFL 100× Oil Immersion — Maximum resolution for fine cellular details and chromosome analysis The UPlanFL (Universal Plan Fluorite) objectives provide excellent chromatic correction and flat-field performance optimized for fluorescence imaging. The 100-watt quartz halogen lamphouse provides bright, even transmitted light illumination for brightfield, phase contrast, and DIC imaging. The Abbe-type condenser delivers proper Köhler illumination for optimal image quality and resolution. The 6-position nosepiece with analyzer slot accommodates the complete objective set plus one additional position, with an integrated analyzer slot for polarization microscopy applications. The right-handed mechanical X-Y stage with slider holder provides precise specimen positioning and smooth, ergonomic operation. 🔎 Typical Applications Multi-color fluorescence imaging and immunofluorescence Cell biology and molecular biology research Clinical diagnostics and pathology FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) Live-cell fluorescence imaging Neuroscience and tissue imaging Chromosome analysis and cytogenetics Educational and training laboratories 📦 Complete System Includes Component Description Microscope Body Olympus BX51 upright research microscope Observation Head 3-position trinocular head (100% eyes / 100% camera / split beam) Eyepieces 10× widefield eyepieces (pair) Objectives Plan 4×, UPlanFL 10×, UPlanFL 20×, UPlanFL 40×, UPlanFL 100× Oil Fluorescence Illuminator BX-URA2 with rotatable front, 6-position filter cube turret Fluorescence Light Source EXFO X-Cite 120 (120W metal halide) Transmitted Light 100W quartz halogen lamphouse Nosepiece 6-position with analyzer slot Condenser Abbe-type condenser Stage Right-handed mechanical X-Y stage with slider holder Accessories Power cord, dust cover, instruction manual University purchase orders accepted.
