BX46
The new BX46 was engineered from the ground-up with ergonomic and economic concerns in mind from the lowest stage height and most adjustable observation tube on the market, to the standard Olympus color-balanced LED. The new tilting, telescoping and lifting observation tube ensures that every user can adjust the microscope to suit their individual needs. This ergonomic flexibility helps the operator maintain a comfortable posture, especially beneficial for prolonged observation periods.
Ergonomic Design for Efficiency and Comfort
- Transmitted light frame features a unique low-positioned stage for uncompromised comfort during microscope use.
- Barely 5 inches off the work surface, the BX46 stage is inches lower than standard microscopes allowing for increased working comfort. Only minimal forearm movement is necessary to easily change or mark specimens.
- Updated Y-shaped frame brings user controls forward for ease of access, efficiency and enhanced operator comfort.
- The new tilting, telescoping/ lifting binocular observation tube offers unsurpassed comfort in viewing position. The new U-TTLBI binocular head tilts from 0-27°, extends an incredible 55mm, and lifts 45mm to accommodate different operators and reduce fatigue during use.
- The new color-balanced LED with light intensity management system diminishes eye fatigue and the strain of repetitive adjustments.
- The light action, low torque stage reduces the force needed to move the specimen. Move the low-position handles with just a tap of the finger tips.
- Y-shaped frame brings all adjustable features toward the user for easy access to controls, while also providing maximum stability
- 5-position focusing nosepiece with slider slot for simple polarization.
Flexible System Format
- The BX46 accepts all UIS2 optics, delivering bright, sharp and high-contrast images.
- The BX46 comes with the new Olympus LED transmitted light source, but a 6V/30W halogen lamphouse is optional.
- A variety of contrast methods are available for the BX46 such as brightfield, Gout Analysis and simple polarized light observations.
- Choose from a wide selection of observation tubes, stages, slide holders, intermediate units, filters and peripherals.

Revolving Nosepiece with Light Intensity Manager Functionality
|
| |
The light intensity manager sets brightness settings according to the specific objective.
Uniform brightness is achieved from low to high magnifications, eliminating light intensity adjustments, therefore reducing eye fatigue. The long-life LED ensures uniform brightness with easy maintenance.

Optimal LED lighting and UIS2 optics
Optimal Lighting for Brightfield
Olympus white LED with high color rendering index has wavelength characteristics close to those of halogen, realizing color reproduction equivalent to halogen lamps. LED lighting is dimmable with a constant color temperature, preventing filter adjustments.
