Olympus has unveiled its BX3 line of upright clinical and research microscopes with ergonomic and imaging features that provide comfort, ease-of-use, and accuracy. Newly introduced are the BX43 System Microscope for clinical laboratory applications, the BX46 Clinical Microscope with ergonomic design and fast observation, and the BX53 System Microscope for research/clinical applications. All three systems employ the company’s proprietary UIS2 optics, which deliver sharp, bright images, and are manufactured from lead-free glass. Additional advancements in the design of the BX3 series allow users to record and share microscope magnification and setting information automatically for comparing, measuring, and scaling images. An exposure button makes it possible for researchers to capture digital images without taking their hands off the microscope. Another new option is a tilting trinocular observation tube that provides comfortable, efficient operation when capturing photomicrographs.
