Motorised fixed stage microscope

The BX61WI is the motorised version of the BX51WI fixed-stage microscope with a highly accurate Z-drive. It is the ideal tool for all automated physiological experiments, such as patch clamping and intravital microscopy. The fixed-stage concept and vibration-free frame design ensure excellent stability throughout the experiment. The use of infrared light protects living cells and offers high penetration depths of thick tissue slices, while high NA optics allow magnification changes without moving the objective.

Features:

  • Vibration free design
  • Swing and swing/slide nosepieces
  • Infrared contrast and fluorescence imaging
  • Modular motorization - Motorised modules include a fluorescence condenser with integrated shutter, filterwheels for illumination and observation light paths and stages; a remote focus control is available with programmable keys and Z-drive switch off function, avoiding electronic noise in measurements
