The invisible becomes visible: MIX Microscopy

The BX53M series MIX microscope technology combines the traditional illumination methods with darkfield illumination. The MIX slider’s LED ring provides directional darkfield illumination of the object. This has a similar effect to conventional darkfield, but also offers the option to select a quadrant of the LEDs in order to control the light from different angles. This combination of brightfield and directional darkfield, fluorescence or polarization is called MIX illumination and is particularly suitable for highlighting defects and for distinguishing between raised areas and depressions on a surface.

Superior optical properties: wavefront aberration correction

An objective lens’ optical properties have a direct influence on the quality of microscopic images and analysis results. Olympus UIS2 high-magnification objectives are designed to minimize wavefront aberration, and are reliable, high-performance optics.
