Scope for custom inspection systems
A range of new microscope systems developed for materials and metallurgical studies has been introduced by Olympus.
When studying such components under a microscope, it is therefore necessary to eliminate any possible electrostatic charge from the operator and from surrounding air.
By making all operational elements of the frame conductive, the new BX41M-ESD microscope simply eliminates any electrostatic build-up of charge.
Focus control, revolving nosepiece ring, brightness control and other parts safely conduct charge away with a surface resistance below 100Mohm.
In standard configuration, the BX41M-ESD provides exceptionally bright images with UIS optics for brightfield, darkfield, Nomarski DIC and polarised light observation.
A universal illuminator is also available to provide fluorescence capability.
Exceptionally long working distance objectives - 21mm for 20x, 15mm for 50x - are available for observation of unprepared samples.
Inserting a spacer makes it possible to observe samples over 65mm in height.
The microscopes are compatible with a wide range of Olympus digital and film photographic systems. Request a free brochure from Olympus Life Science Europa ...
