Olympus CX23 Binocular Microscope

The Olympus CX23 sets a new standard for entry-level biological microscopy, succeeding the highly regarded CX22 model with enhanced portability and usability. This upright microscope is built to withstand the rigors of high-volume use in university labs and clinical settings. Its design prioritizes ergonomic comfort, featuring a 30-degree inclined binocular head and a low-positioned, rackless mechanical stage that eliminates protruding parts for a safer, smoother workflow.

Equipped with a quadruple revolving nosepiece and precision Plan Achromat objectives, the CX23 delivers consistent flatness of field and sharp color reproduction across the entire 20mm field of view. The integration of long-lasting LED illumination ensures a stable color temperature and exceptional energy efficiency, making it a sustainable choice for modern laboratories. With a focus on durability, the system utilizes all-metal gears and a brass fine-focus mechanism to ensure years of maintenance-free operation.

Key Features

• High-Performance Optics: Includes Plan Achromat 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x (oil) objectives for superior image flatness.
• Ergonomic Binocular Head: 30-degree inclination and 360-degree rotation provide comfortable viewing for multiple users.
• Rackless Mechanical Stage: Smooth, precise specimen movement without the hazards of protruding racks common in older designs.
• Advanced Focus Control: Coaxial coarse/fine focus system equipped with an adjustable torque and an upper-limit stopper to prevent accidental slide breakage.
• Sustainable LED Illumination: Variable intensity LED provides uniform lighting with a lifespan significantly longer than traditional halogen bulbs.
• Portable Design: Lightweight frame with built-in ergonomic grips for safe transport and storage within educational environments.
