Olympus BX51WI Upright Microscope (Used)
The Olympus BX51WI is a fixed-stage upright microscope designed for electrophysiology, in vivo imaging, and live-tissue observation. Its open frame provides easy access for micromanipulators, perfusion systems, and large sample chambers, making it ideal for brain slice and live-cell workflows. Built with Olympus UIS2 infinity-corrected optics, the BX51WI delivers clear, high-contrast transmitted light imaging. This configuration does not include fluorescence, nosepiece, or stage by default.
