Olympus CX21 Microscope

Key Features

• Optical System:
  Uses the UIS2 (Universal Infinity System) optical design, which ensures bright, flat, and high-contrast images across the entire field of view. The optics are compatible with various objectives and accessories used in advanced Olympus systems.

• Objectives:
  Typically equipped with Plan Achromat objectives (4×, 10×, 40×, and 100× oil immersion). These provide sharp and evenly illuminated images suitable for both brightfield observation and training.

• Eyepieces:
  Standard 10× widefield eyepieces with a field number of 20 mm, allowing comfortable, wide viewing with minimal eye strain.

• Illumination:
  Features a 6V 20W halogen lamp with adjustable brightness and built-in illumination control. Some models include a daylight filter to maintain consistent color balance.

• Condenser and Diaphragm:
  Equipped with an Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) and an iris diaphragm for proper light control and contrast adjustment.

• Focusing Mechanism:
  Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with tension adjustment, allowing precise focusing control. The stage movement and focusing are smooth and ergonomic for extended use.

• Stage:
  The mechanical stage is low-positioned for comfort, with X-Y coaxial controls. It typically measures around 130 mm × 160 mm and includes slide holders for accurate specimen movement.

• Frame and Build:
  Compact, sturdy, and designed for long-term reliability. The microscope body is made from durable aluminum alloy to resist wear in high-use environments.

• Observation Head:
  Binocular head inclined at 30° for comfort and fixed at a height ideal for seated use. The interpupillary distance and diopter can be adjusted to match different users.

• Portability:
  Weighs approximately 6.5 kg, with a built-in carrying handle, making it easy to move between classrooms or laboratory stations.
