Olympus IX71 Inverted Hoffman Modulation Contrast HMC Laboratory Microscope

Olympus IX71 Inverted Fluorescence Hoffman Modulation Contrast Microscope Built for live cell imaging. Olympus has equipped its IX2 series microscopes with the new UIS2 optical system precisely to meet those demands. With its high S/N ratio, its compensation for chromatic aberration over a much wider wavelength range and its flat, high transmittance , this new system sets a new world standard of fluorescence performance — efficiently detecting even faint fluorescence signals without damaging the cell, and optimizing multi-color observation. Delivering unprecedented image quality over a super wide light spectrum, the IX2 inverted system microscope will be your live cell instrument of choice now and in the future. The basic microscope configuration for Hoffman Modulation Contrast is illustrated in Figure 1. An optical amplitude spatial filter, termed a "modulator" , is inserted on the back focal plane of an achromat, planachromat or planfluorite objective . Light intensity passing throug
