Microscope Olympus BX50
The BX50 is an upright microscope used for brightfield and polarizing microscopy. This transmission microscope is equipped with a 360° manual rotational and XY scaled stage, 3 objectives and a CMOS 5 Megapixels camera. The camera is control via the image acquisition software Toupview.
The objectives mounted on the turret are described in the following table:
| Serie | Magnification | Numerical Aperture | Working Distance (mm) |
| UPlanFI-10 | 10 | 0.30 | 11.0 |
| LCPlanFI-20 | 20 | 0.40 | 3.1 |
| LCPlanFI-40 | 40 | 0.60 | 0.5 |
The microscope can be equipped with a Linkam temperature controller T96 and LNP96 and stage LTS420. The stage LTS420 is design to work between -196 and +460C with a maximum heating rate of 40C/min. The XY manipulator is design to received standard microscope slide (26x76mm) with XY travel of 15mm.
