A new dimension in image clarity

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.

Fluorescence and transmitted light illumination

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.
