Designed and built for leading research applications

New design and materials creates rock-solid stability and rigidity for advanced microscope applications

Based on the latest results in compound material research, the new microscopes are manufactured from a Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). MMC is a composite material of ceramic and aluminium introduced for the first time for microscopy. Due to strong efforts in the development of a unique production process, Olympus enables the microscope user to benefit from the advantages of the new material.

MMC radically improves the static rigidity and the thermal rigidity of the microscope frame. Both are very important factors required to achieve perfect results in different advanced microscopy applications.

The functionality of the new microscopes can be extended by the use of modular motorized components. The top of the range model BX62 is already equipped with a built-in motorized high-precision focus drive. The combination of both the MMC frame and the motorized components provide the perfect platform for your leading research applications.
