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.
