OLYMPUS BX 53 BRIGHTFIELD COMPOUND MICROSCOPE, with DP26 DIGITAL CAMERA

For high resolution colour imaging of stained and mounted specimens. This system is also fitted with differential interference contrast and phase contrast components for imaging low contrast specimens.

 

OLYMPUS BX63 EPIFLUORESCENCE/ DIC/ BRIGHTFIELD IMAGING SYSTEM with DP80 DIGITAL CAMERA and CELLSENS IMAGING ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

This fully motorised system features a programmable ultrasonic scanning stage that allows automated mutidimentional and multichannel imaging. The highly sensitive dual colour and monochrome digital camera is ideal for fluorescence and brightfield applications. A broad range of image analysis functions are avaliable in the CellSens image analysis software.

 

OLYMPUS IX81 CELL R LIVE IMAGING SYSTEM

This fluorescence system is suitable for 3D and time-lapse imaging of very fast processes in living cells. The environmental chamber enables temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide regulation, allowing long time-course experiments with live cells. The Cell R software includes deconvolution, measurement and analysis capabilities.
