|
Enhanced Operational Ease and Outstanding Optical Performance.
Unsurpassed optics render polarized light images sharper than ever before.
Olympus is proud to introduce the BX53-P, the new polarizing microscope with superb performance in polarized light. It's a breakthrough combination of world-leading UIS2 optics and Olympus original optical-design. Olympus has also devised a new, extended line of compensators to make the BX53-P versatile enough to handle observation and measuring applications in virtually any field.

UIS2 Provides Outstanding System Expandability.
By maximizing the advantages of infinity correction, the UIS2 optical system prevents the deterioration of optical microscope performance and eliminates magnification factors, even when polarizing elements like analyzers, tint plates or compensators are introduced into the light path.

Orthoscopic Configuration
|
The circular rotatable stage
The circular rotatable stage has two centering knobs and allows smooth sample rotation. A settable click stop every 45degrees enables accurate observation and measurement.
|
 |
Cross-movement mechanical stage
Mounting an attachable cross-movement mechanical stage (U-FMP) onto thecircular rotatable stage makes for improved observation efficiency.
Interference between the mechanical stage and the objectives is eliminated, so that images of superb quality can be effortlessly observed with all objective magnification.
