Olympus CX23 Upright Microscope
SKU:OLY-CX23
The cost-effective CX23 student microscope is simple to use for even a first-time microscope user while delivering high-quality optical performance. Its unique features accommodate the student, provide easy and safe operation, and stand up to the rigors of an educational setting. The durable eyepieces, observation tube, objectives, and stage are designed so that they are protected from damage while lifting, carrying, setting and observing samples, and storing.
A Student Microscope with Outstanding Optical Performance
The CS23’s large field number (FN) of 20 offers a wider field of view. The built-in LED light source provides long-term uniform and stable illumination with low power consumption (20,000 hour lifetime), and its reduced blue color preserves the vivid colors of the sample.
Diverse, User-Friendly Design Combined with Outstanding Optical Performance
LIFT & CARRY
- Ergonomic grips add safety when retrieving the microscope from high places
- Colored grips indicate appropriate places to hold the microscope
- Smooth, rounded design eliminates all sharp edges
- The CX23 is one of the lightest weight microscope in its class, with a total weight of approx. 5.9 kg (13.01 lbs)
- The CX23 features a carrying arm angled to keep the wrists in a comfortable, neutral position
- The eyepiece can be fixed in place to help prevent damage or loss when moved
- A rackless stage and stage cover give safety and longtime operation
PREPARE
- A locking pin keeps the observation tube in place
- Interpupillary adjustment from 48 to 75 mm enables personalized comfort for individual users
- Adjustable eyepoint provides greater comfort for users of different heights
- Left and right diopter adjustment enable optimal focus for each eye
- The inward-facing revolving nosepiece allows for more space above the stage, enabling the easy setting and exchanging of specimens or adding of oil for the immersion objective
- Objectives have long working distances
- The focusing knob offers durable movement with a coaxial design to enable precise coarse and fine focus control; as a result, the stage can be quickly brought into focus by either the left or right side knob
- A torque release function prevents damage in case excess force is applied to the coarse focusing knob or stage knob
SET SAMPLE & OBSERVE
- The focus lock prevents objectives and specimen from any damage
- Field number (FN) of 20 ensures a wide field of view
- The CX23 features plan achromat objectives that preserve outstanding image flatness throughout the field of view
- The LED light source provides long service time—20,000 hours—and offers low power consumption
- Also, its reduced blue color preserves vivid colors on HE staining
STORE
