Join us for a FREE Hands-on Workshop on Olympus Light/Fluorescence BX53 microscope (May 13th, 2019)!

We have a New Olympus Light/Fluorescence BX53 microscope! And with a fond farewell, we have decommissioned the venerable Zeiss Axioplan2 after 18 years of service at the BIF.

What’s new about Olympus BX53 upright microscope?

– a fully motorized X-Y Prior sample stage for image stitching, tiling & multi-position acquisition.

a DP80 Dual-chip high-resolution camera system allowing both high sensitivity monochrome and high resolution color imaging. Color mode is useful for histological studies.

– 6 fluorescent filter cubes (the same capability as Zeiss Axioplan2)

– Phase contrast capability (10x, 20x, 40x)

– Objective lens from 5x to 60x (60x Oil Immersion)

– Powerful Image acquisition & processing software (Cell-Sens)

The Olympus BX53 microscopy usage fee will be $9/hour for BIF members, $15/hour for academic users, $35/hour for Industry.
