Throwing light on stereo scopes

Illumination system is based on an integrated LED source located within the microscope stand, making it easier to position specimens

The new SZ51, SZ61 and SZX7 microscopes from Olympus introduce a remarkable new illumination system based on an integrated LED source within the stand The dimmer controlled lighting is delivered from a stand less than 25mm high

This unique thin LED lighting makes it easier and more comfortable to position specimens on the stage.

Low cost, space saving fibre illumination is also available mounted on the standard frame.

The light source attaches to the back of the microsope, and the fibre optic guide enters the stand, so that the entire system leaves free access all around the specimen area.

For specialist imaging applications, Olympus is introducing a computer controlled multi segment LED ring illumination system.

This modular system can be programmed to create variable oblique illumination, mixed and adjustable incident and transmitted light, frequency controllable strobe lighting, and flash with adjustable duration and intensity.

It is expected to provide a new range of stereo observation possibilities in cell culture and other studies of flat or translucent specimens.

A new range of bench top fibre optic cold light sources with full colour temperature and intensity control is also available.

The most powerful has a 250W cold light reflector lamp suitable for fluorescence and short exposure applications. Request a free brochure from Olympus Life Science Europa ...
