Olympus SZX10 Overview
Newly designed SDF objective lenses of the highest NA and Olympus'
newly developed near-vertical reflected light illuminator will
significantly improve signal intensity and support bright fluorescence
observation.
Bright fluorescence observation is essential in recent biological and medical research. Observation of
weak fluorescence at low magnification under stereomicroscope has especially been a problem.
However, the SZX16 enables even and overwhelmingly bright fluorescence observation from low to
high magnifications.
Highest NA among stereomicroscopes provides
extraordinarily bright fluorescence observation
SDF objective lenses of the highest NA dramatically
improve fluorescence detection sensitivity. Furthermore,
the newly designed near-vertical reflected light illuminator's
excitation light paths are independent from the observation
paths, allowing for substantially improved excitation light
efficiency. These features provide far brighter fluorescence
observation than conventional stereomicroscopes at all
magnifications. Transmitted light observation for verification
of specimen outline is possible even under reflected light
fluorescence observation.
Even and seamless fluorescence observation from
low to high magnification
In correspondence with zoom function, the reflected light
illuminator provides even illumination from low to high
magnification. This will eliminate oversights along the periphery
of the field of view during live specimen screening and
dramatically improve work efficiency.
Five-position turret with nine-filter selection
Nine filter units, ranging from UV excitation to RFP, respond to
applications using various fluorescent dyes and protein. Olympus
High Quality (HQ) filters have an edge steepness and high
transmission that efficiently detect the light of fluorescence to
enhance and capture brighter fluorescence images in precise
detail.
