CX31: Advanced optical performance with with excellent cost-efficiency
The CX31 fixed specification binocular biological microscope is ideal for teaching and routine applications. All main controls are located close together, enabling operation with minimal movements. Ease of use is further enhanced by the integrated Abbe condenser, which increases the visibility and contrast of the specimen under different magnifications without time-consuming adjustments. Olympus UIS2 objectives ensure bright, clear observation images with excellent flatness and Olympus digital cameras can be easily adapted for efficient digital imaging and documentation.
Incorporating the UIS2 infinity optics, the Olympus CX31 microscope inherits the outstanding worldwide reputation gained by its CX2 predecessor in different medical and educational fields. As well as advanced optical performance, the CX31 offers improved ease of use and excellent cost-efficiency.
- Bright, even observation images
The illumination system employs a high intensity 6 V, 30 W halogen lamp for bright images. The aperture iris diaphragm with built-in condenser and standard field stop provides bright and even illumination at all levels of magnification.
Rigid, durable construction for high performance and long service life Construction quality is excellent throughout, with objectives, eyepiece, observation tube, revolving nosepiece, highly reliable rackless stage and other components all fixed firmly to the body — so there's nothing to come loose or
fall off when the microscope is being transported. The rackless stage is employed, and since the X-axis guide does not protrude, both transportation and operation are performed easily and safely.
The treatment applied to the observation tubes, eyepieces and objectives, protects quality of optical parts even in high humidity regions.
Ergonomic Design Features
- UIS2 eyepiece: Provides wide field of view (FN 20) and allows easy observation with eyeglasses.
- Binocular observation tube: Diopter adjustment is performed via the knurled collar on the left eyetube. Wide interpupillary distance adjustment (48–75 mm) offers comfortable observation.
- Quadruple inward-facing revolving nosepiece: Complies with a wide range of magnifications, allows unrestricted use of the space in front of the objectives and makes it easy to confirm observation magnifications.
- Coarse upper limit stopper: Locks the upper position of the stage, preventing contact between the objective and the specimen in high magnification observations.
- UIS2 objectives: 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x PLCN objectives, providing outstanding image flatness.
- Rackless stage: Rack-free stage with no side protrusions. Low-positioned control knob allows smooth and comfortable specimen movement. Scale gradations are in white lettering on a black background.
- Light intensity adjustment: Continuous light adjustment is possible.
- Abbe condenser: An Abbe condenser, with NA 1.25 and built-in aperture diaphragm, provides the appropriate diaphragm setting to suit different specimens and magnifications.
- Field stop: Frame integrated, with ability to accept a ø45 mm filter.
- Coaxial coarse/fine focusing knob: The coaxial coarse/fine focusing knob allows each operator to adjust the torque for coarse focusing operations. Focusing is smooth and easy, with the user's hands placed on the desk.
- Stage handle with tactile grips: Tactile grips are fitted to the X and Y stage controls to provide a "light touch" stage movement.
- Highly rigid frame: Extra rigid frame withstands frequent use and repositioning.
