Modern microscopy made easy

With its modular concept, the BX3M series offers versatility for a wide range of applications in industry and materials research. Thanks to improved integration with OLYMPUS Stream software, BX53M microscopes enable smooth workflows for standard microscopy applications and digital imaging, from examination to reporting.

Easily use familiar procedures:
Simple light source

The light source minimises complicated steps that are usually required when working with a microscope. The adjustment knob on the front of the condenser allows the microscopy method to be selected conveniently. Users can quickly switch between the most commonly used methods of reflected light microscopy, from bright field to dark field or polarised light microscopy, to easily perform different types of analysis. In addition, simple polarised light microscopy can be adjusted by rotating the analyser.

Intuitive microscope controls:
Simple adjustment of the illumination field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm

Correct adjustment of the illumination field and aperture diaphragm ensures good image contrast and full utilisation of the numerical aperture of the objective. The Legend guides the user through the correct settings for the respective microscopy method and the objective used.

Fast focus adjustment

The focus scale on the tripod facilitates quick focusing. Users can roughly adjust the focus without looking through an eyepiece, saving time when examining objects of different heights.

Easy and ergonomic operation

Ergonomics is of paramount importance for all users. Whether a user is using their microscope on its own or in conjunction with OLYMPS Stream image analysis software, they will benefit from the ergonomic hand switches that clearly indicate the position of the hardware. The ergonomic hand switches allow the user to concentrate on their sample and its inspection.

For consistent lighting:
Light intensity manager

During initial setup, the light intensity can be adjusted to match the hardware configuration of the coded light source and/or coded objective turret.

Restoring microscope settings:
Coded hardware

Coded functions integrate the system settings of the BX53M microscope into the OLYMPUS Stream image analysis software. Microscopy methods, illumination intensity and magnification are automatically recorded by the software with the corresponding images. This allows the user to always perform inspections with the same microscopy settings, which improves the reliability of the inspection results.

Consistent colour temperature:
Bright white LED light source

The BX53M microscope uses bright white LED light sources for both reflected and transmitted light. The LED ensures a consistent colour temperature regardless of brightness. Long-life LEDs provide efficient lighting and are ideal for inspection applications in materials research.

Function

The BX53M supports the familiar methods of conventional microscopy such as bright field, dark field, polarised light and differential interference contrast. In the development of new materials, many of the difficulties encountered in standard methods of defect detection can be solved by modern microscopy techniques, which enable more accurate and reliable testing. New illumination techniques and image acquisition options with the OLYMPUS Stream image analysis software offer users more choices for evaluating their samples and documenting their results.
