Olympus metallographic microscope BX53M

Designed for industrial and materials science applications

The BX53M series adopts a modular design, providing diverse solutions for a wide range of materials science and industrial applications. According to different applications in industry and materials science, BX53 can be combined into microscopes for various applications such as reflection microscopes, transmission and reflection microscopes, infrared microscopes, polarizing microscopes, etc.

Advanced microscopic observation and convenient microscopic operation

user friendliness

Simple and guided microscope operation settings make it easier for users to adjust and copy system settings.

functionality

BX53M is designed for traditional industrial microscope inspection and has expanded its functionality to meet the requirements of a wider range of applications and inspection techniques.

Precise optical components

Olympus Corporation has a long history of producing high-quality optical components, with exceptional image quality whether viewed through an eyepiece or a monitor.

Comprehensive customizability

Modular design allows users to flexibly build systems that meet their specific requirements.

Intuitive microscope control is comfortable and easy to use

Microscopic examination tasks often require a long time to adjust microscope settings, acquire images, and perform necessary measurements to obtain satisfactory reports. Users sometimes need to invest time and money to complete professional microscope training, or only understand a small part of the full functions of the microscope before starting work.

The BX53M simplifies complex microscopic examination tasks through its excellent design and convenient control functions. Users do not need long training to master most of the functions of the microscope. The convenient and comfortable operation of BX53M also improves the reproducibility of images, reducing human errors to a certain extent.

2.1 Encoding Hardware: It is easy to restore microscope settings

The BX53M adopts a new encoding function that integrates the hardware settings of the microscope with the Olympus Stream image analysis software. The observation method, illumination intensity, and objective position are all recorded in the software and/or manual controller. The encoding function enables the microscope settings to be automatically saved with each image, making it easier to restore the settings later and provide document records for reports. Not only does it save the operator's time, but it also significantly reduces the probability of using incorrect settings. The current observation settings are always clearly displayed on the manual controller and software.

2.2 Intelligent Light Intensity Management: Consistent Lighting

During initial installation, the lighting intensity can be adjusted to match the specific hardware configuration of the encoder illumination and/or encoder objective converter.

2.3 Convenient and user-friendly operation

Humanization is crucial for all users. Both single machine microscope users and microscope system users with integrated Olympus Stream image analysis software can benefit from a user-friendly manual controller that can clearly display the location of microscope encoded hardware. Simple manual switch allows users to focus their time on the sample itself and the required inspections to be carried out.

3. Advanced imaging

BX53M, in addition to the traditional contrast method used for conventional microscopy inspection, can also solve many of the difficulties encountered in defect detection when using traditional contrast method for inspection in the past.

3.1 MIX Combination Observation: Display Previously Invisible Images

The MIX combination observation technology of BX53M combines bright field and dark field illumination methods. It is very useful for highlighting defects and distinguishing between raised and depressed surfaces.

3.2 Instant Puzzle (MIA): Easily move the stage for panoramic photography

Now, simply moving the XY knob on the manual stage allows for convenient and quick image stitching, eliminating the need for an electric stage.

The Olympus Stream software uses pattern recognition technology to generate panoramic images, providing users with a wider field of view than a single image.

3.3 Easy Implementation of Ultra Depth of Field Image (EFI) Questions

The depth of field extended imaging (EFI) function of Olympus Stream software can capture sample images with heights exceeding the depth of focus of the objective lens, and overlay them together to create a super depth of field image. EFI can be performed using manual or electric Z-axis mechanisms, and a height map can be created to easily identify the structure. You can also create EFI images offline using Stream desktop version.

4. The long history of optical technology

Olympus Corporation has a long history of developing high-quality optical instruments, creating multiple records of optical quality and ensuring excellent measurement accuracy of microscopes.

4.1 LED Lighting

BX53M provides high-intensity white LED light source for reflected and transmitted light illumination. LED provides efficient and long-lasting lighting, making it an ideal tool for materials science testing applications.

4.2 Automatic Calibration

Similar to digital microscopes, automatic calibration can also be implemented when using Olympus Stream software. Can obtain more reliable measurement results.
