INFINITY SYSTEM

CX2 SERIES

Optics and performance outstanding in its class

Advanced optical and system performance

with excellent cost-efficiency

The evolution of this bestselling microscope delivers new,

cost-efficient improvements in both optics and system performance.

Newly equipped with Olympus' leading-edge UIS optical system,

it provides significantly enhanced image clarity in a variety of

observation methods, from brightfield to reflected light fluorescence.

For all inspection and training applications in the fields of biology

and medicine, the CX41 sets the pace for its class in both

basic and system performance.

Outstanding flat images from Plan C objectives

The CX41 provides images of outstanding brightness and clarity in a variety of observation

modes. As well as Olympus' renowned UIS optics infinity system, it employs the newly

developed PLC series of Plan Achromat objectives, which are made from carefully selected

top quality glass and manufactured with the most rigorous precision. The result is a major

improvement in image flatness, with the 10x and 40x objectives in particular providing images

that are among the very best in this class of microscope. Transmitted light illumination is

from a 6V, 30W high-intensity halogen light source.

Dry darkfield condenser / CX-DCD

This dry-type darkfield condenser gives a

superior darkfield effect without the need for

immersion in oil.

Suitable for use

at 10x and 40x

magnifications.

Darkfield central stop / CH2-DS

For darkfield observations from 4x to 40x.

* Separate filter holder (CH2-FH) or attachment lens (CX-AL)

required.

Low magnification adapter /CX-LA

Use of the 2x low magnification objective allows

macro observation.

Simple phase contrast attachment /

CX-PH1, 2, 3

For phase-contrast observations at 10x,

40x and 100x.

Slide condenser / CX-SLC

Brightfield condenser / CH3-CD

These Abbe type condensers allow

brightfield observations from 4x to

100x. Accurate centering is provided

by the attachment lens (CX-AL) and the

iris diaphragm, to exclude unnecessary

light and obtain bright Koehler

illumination right across the

magnification range. These highly

economical condensers enable phase-

contrast and darkfield observations by

simply adding basic accessories.

Reflected light fluorescence

attachment / CX-RFL-2

Users can swap between blue or green

excitation and transmitted light

observations. UIS optics provide bright

fluorescence images, with no intermediate

magnifications when changing from

transmitted light to fluorescence

observation. Standard PLC objectives can

be used without replacement.

Simple polarizing condenser /

CH3-CDP

With the optional plate adapter U-TAD,

polarizing observations from 4x to 100x

using a tint plate can be performed.

A U-GAN analyzer is provided for gout

inspection. Polarizing objectives from

4x to 100x are

available.

* Separate polarizer

U-POT and analyzer

U-ANT required.

Phase-contrast condenser / CX-PCD

The multi-purpose CX-PCD condenser

allows observation of brightfield, phase-

contrast and darkfield images without

exchanging condensers. Phase-contrast

observation from

10x to 100x and

darkfield

observation from

10x to 40x is

allowed.

Dependable basic performance assures

outstanding operational convenience

Easy transportation and installation

The CX41 is eminently portable, with

convenient handgrips at the front and back

of the frame and no sudden, inconvenient

protrusion of the stage guide.

Move the specimen with just one finger

Rubber grips are provided for the stage

handles, allowing the specimen to be moved

smoothly with just one finger. The slim body

and conveniently positioned controls ensure

that everything is within easy reach, so

operators can maintain a natural posture.

Tilting binocular tube

The tilting binocular tube lets each operator

select the most suitable and comfortable

eyepoint —a valuable contribution to

reducing fatigue in extended observation

sessions.

Inward-facing quintuple revolving

nosepiece

The quintuple revolving nosepiece enables a

wide range of magnification observations

and various combinations of objectives.

Unrestricted access to the space in front of

the objective allows specimens to be

exchanged quickly and easily.

Torque adjustable focusing knob

The torque of the coarse focusing knob can

be adjusted, to suit different operators' needs

and to make focusing smooth and easy while

keeping the hands on the desk. A stage

upper limit stopper is also provided.

Rackless stage with enhanced operability

To keep the work area clear, and to avoid

interference with observation operations,

the X-direction travel guide does not extend

out from the side of the stage. The main and

sub scale displays are designed for easy

read-out.

Anti-fungus treatment

The treatment applied to the

observation tubes, eyepieces and

objectives, protects quality of optical

parts even in high humidity regions.

Trinocular tube / U-CTR30-2

Still digital (DP11) or video cameras can

be attached for on-site/remote illustration

of educational/discussion meetings.

Trinocular intermediate attachment /

U-TRU

A binocular tube on its own allows

photomicrography. Combination with

this intermediate attachment type

trinocular tube makes it possible to attach

photographic equipment and a video

camera at the same time.

Drawing attachment / U-DA

The drawing attachment projects an image

of the pencil and drawing surface into the

visual field.

More accessories, more observation versatility

Easy digital imaging

A simple eyepiece adapter enables an

Olympus digital camera to be attached to

binocular tube U-CBI30-2 —an easy,

practical and cost-efficient means of

obtaining digital images.

Arrow pointer / U-APT

Enables insertion of an LED arrow for

display in a photomicrograph.

2x magnification changer / U-ECA

Magnification is doubled by engaging the

auxiliary 2x lens.

Eyepoint adjuster / U-EPA2

Allows the eyepoint position to be raised by

30mm. Up to two eyepoint adjusters can

be attached between the frame arm and

observation tube.

U-DA

U-DAL10x

CX41+DP11

Dual observation attachment / U-DO3

Enables dual, simultaneous observation of

a single specimen from the same direction

with equal magnification and brightness for

both operators. A pointer can be used to

indicate specific sections of the specimen to

simplify the training process and promote

discussion.
