CX41
Optics and Performance Outstanding in its Class
Advanced optical and system performance with excellent cost-efficiency. The evolution of this bestselling microscope delivers new, cost-efficient improvements in both optics and system performance. Newly equipped with Olympus' leading-edge UIS2 optical system, it provides significantly enhanced image clarity in a variety of observation methods, from brightfield to reflected light fluorescence. For all inspection and training applications in the fields of biology and medicine, the CX41 sets the pace for its class in both basic and system performance.
Outstanding flat images from PLCN objectives
The CX41 provides images of outstanding brightness and clarity in a variety of observation modes. As well as Olympus' renowned UIS2 optics infinity system, it employs the PLCN series of Plan Achromat objectives, which are made from carefully selected top quality glass and manufactured with the most rigorous precision. The result is a major improvement in image flatness, with the 10x and 40x objectives in particular providing images that are among the very best in this class of microscope. Transmitted light illumination is from a 6 V, 30 W high-intensity halogen light source
Slide condenser / CX-SLC Brightfield condenser / CH3-CD
These Abbe type condensers allow brightfield observations from 4x to 100x. Accurate centering is provided by the attachment lens (CX-AL) and the iris diaphragm, to exclude unnecessary light and obtain bright Koehler illumination right across the magnification range. These highly economical condensers enable phase contrast and darkfield observations by simply adding basic accessories.
Dependable basic performance assures outstanding operational convenience
- Move the specimen with just one finger Rubber grips are provided for the stage handles, allowing the specimen to be moved smoothly with just one finger. The slim body and conveniently positioned controls ensure that everything is within easy reach, so operators can maintain a natural posture.
- Tilting binocular tube / U-CTBI: The tilting binocular tube lets each operator select the most suitable and comfortable eyepoint — a valuable contribution to reducing fatigue in extended observation sessions.
- Inward-facing quintuple revolving nosepiece: The quintuple revolving nosepiece enables a wide range of magnification observations and various combinations of objectives. Unrestricted access to the space in front of the objective allows specimens to be exchanged quickly and easily.
- Rackless stage with enhanced operability: To keep the work area clear, and to avoid nterference with observation operations, the X-direction travel guide does not extend out from the side of the stage. The main and sub-scale displays are designed for easy read-out.
- Torque adjustable focusing knob: The torque of the coarse focusing knob can be adjusted, to suit different operators' needs and to make focusing smooth and easy while keeping the hands on the desk. A stage upper limit stopper is also provided.
- Easy transportation and installation: The CX41 is eminently portable, with convenient handgrips at the front and back of the frame and no inconvenient protrusion of the stage guide.
- Phase-contrast condenser / CX-PCD: The multi-purpose CX-PCD condenser allows observation of brightfield, phasecontrast and darkfield images without exchanging condensers. Phase-contrast observation from 10x to 100x and darkfield observation from 10x to 40x is allowed.
- Anti-fungus treatment:The treatment applied to the observation tubes, eyepieces and objectives, protects quality of optical parts even in high humidity regions
