An upgrade in polarization
characteristics.
Thanks to Olympus' sophisticated design
and manufacturing technology, the ACHN-P
and UPLFL-P strain-free objectives reduce
internal strain to an absolute minimum.
Olympus has also totally redesigned its
polarizers and polarizing condensers to
further enhance performance in polarized
light. This means a higher EF* value,
resulting in unmatched image contrast.
To meet a diversity of research and
application requirements, the universal
UPLFL-P Series objectives have been
designed to accommodate a wide range of
observation methods, including Nomarski
DIC and fluorescence microscopy,
in addition to polarized light observation.
*The EF (extinction factor) is the brightness ratio between
parallel and crossed pol-filters. The higher
the EF value, the better the extinction.

An extensive range of compensators
is available.
Six different compensators are available
for the BX51-P microscope, allowing
measurement of various retardation
levels, ranging from 0 to 20 . For easier

measurement, the direct readout method
is featured. Higher image contrast can be
attained by using a Senarmont* or Brace-
Koehler compensator to change the
retardation level in the entire field of view.
* Used with monochromatic green filter, IF546 or IF550.
Unmatched sharpness
in orthoscopic and
conoscopic observations.
With a U-CPA conoscopic
observation attachment,
w
changeover between
orthoscopic and cono-
scopic observation is simple
and quick.
Focusing of conoscopic
images is easy and
accurate. Employing
a Bertrand field stop
makes it possible to obtain
consistently sharp and clear
conoscopic images.
