BX50
BX50
BX50
Offering superior performance covering application from routine investigation to sophisticated research, the BX50 features the specifications to satisfy a wide range of observation requirements.
The UIS (Universal Infinity System) infinity-corrected optical system provides an extended field of view (F.N.22), higher contrast and the sharpest images, as well as outstanding flatness throughout the entire field of view.
The BX "Y" shape provides an uncluttered work surface, that is ideal for convenient positioning of a photomicrographic system control unit, cell counter or other ancillary equipment near the stand.
Extra-bright 100W halogen illumination for excellent performance with any microscopic technique.
Main features
1.  State-of-the-art technology : the UIS (Universal Infinity System) infinity-corrected optical system.
The UIS microscope optical system maximizes the advantages of infinity correction. Passing through the objective lens, light travels to the telan lens as parallel beams, which are then refracted to form an intermediate image completely aberration-free.

2.  Optimum ease of operation
The ergonomic design is a result of intensive research to ensure maximum operation comfort and fatigue-free observation. Electrical components are located in the back of the microscope, providing ample working space to the left and right of the stand. Stage control and focusing knobs can be easily manipulated without having to elevate one's wrist from the work surface.

3.  Wider Field of View
The new standard field number F.N.22 represents an increase in observation area of 20% over the conventional F.N.20.

4.  Universal Objectives
Brightfield, fluorescence, Nomarski DIC, and polarized light observations can all be performed using the same universal objective lens. No longer having to change objectives with each change of observation method improves observation efficiency.

5.  Highly Abrasion-resistant Stage and Durable Mechanics
A tough, abrasion-resistant ceramic coating has been thermally applied to the stage surface for virtually permanent strength.
