Olympus BH LWD Msplan on BX

Post by houstontx »

Hi all,

would the objectives shown in this photo BH2 era MSplan objectives work on a BX era epi fluorescence turret (with brightfield filter cube installed and RMS size nosepiece turret?)

Thanks,

Not ideally. They want corrections provided by the viewing/phito eyepieces of the bh2 era. These are maybe the weakest corrections of major corrective brands of the era but you'll still notice reduced performance.

Ok this would be for imaging directly onto a c mount usb camera (no pe eyepiece in camera port), for rough centering and manipulating xyz axis of a pen like object at 10-20x. Possibly up to 50x. Not trying to get great resolution or color etc.

Thank you for your input.
