Don’t fight to get the light right

Olympus offers its versatile, powerful BX3 clinical microscope systems for analysis and disease diagnosis in pathology and cytology. The systems take advantage of Olympus’s new true-colour light-emitting diode (LED) illumination technology and built-in Light Intensity Manager (LIM) to create images with accurately rendered colours.

True-colour LEDs offer longer lifetimes, constant colour temperature at all voltages, and reduced power
consumption when compared to traditional halogen bulbs. In addition, the LIM improves user workflow and maximises consistency by automatically modulating light intensity when working at different magnifications. Such advantages make the BX3 systems with true-colour LED illumination the logical
choice for comfortable and efficient clinical microscopy.

The Olympus true-colour LED approach utilises the most advanced mixed-matrix brightfield LED technology currently available to provide a colour rendering index very similar to that of halogen illumination. Stains such as haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Papanicolaou look the same when using
the Olympus LED as when using halogen light sources, while similar colours can be easily differentiated.
The flexible Olympus BX3 clinical microscopy systems with true-colour LED illumination and LIM have been specifically developed to meet the needs of clinical microscopy, ensuring reliable diagnosis
while maximising workflow efficiency.
