Microscope System Introduction

Biomedx clinic microscopy systems feature:

Brightfield
Darkfield
Highest Accuracy Zernicki Phase Contrast
E. Differential Interference (3D) Contrast Capability
High Resolution y/c S-video Capable Color Video Camera
Digital Signal Processing (w/on board access to gamma settings and more.)
Superior Olympus Optics & Mechanics
Infinity Corrected Objectives: Plan & Plan Apo Achromatic 2x through 100x objectives
Fiber optic enabled base units with 150 watt quartz halogen light source

Scope note: Our systems are the most ideal scopes for nutritional auditing and education offering a truly superior optical image without being overly expensive. A primary optical mode used is phase contrast and the microscopes give exceptional performance with Zernicki phase and 40x non-oil objectives. The non-oil objective eliminates the fuss and sticky mess of using oil. If you want 100x power in an oil objective, you can simply add that option. For these systems, if you want to glance at a darkfield view you can do it by simply rotating the turret condenser to darkfield position. If you want darkfield only at the highest quality, you will find the Biomedx systems offer exceptional imaging quality rivaling much more expensive set ups that may be offered through other dealers. Our scopes are light weight and travel very well in a standard airline carry-on bag.

Video note: The video set-up is first class and is necessary if you want superior images on your video monitor. It gives exceptional clarity and color balance with very high resolution. Our medical micro head video camera  has a 1/3" CCD camera chip with the capability to output both standard video and an S-video (y/c hi res) signal. If you plug it into a standard composite video TV input which most clinics do, you won't be using all the resolution it has to offer, but you will have the ability to upgrade your monitor at any time if desired.

The video camera is a critical component of a "video" microscope system. After testing numerous models and considering price parameters, we settled on our current configuration. Due to digital electronics, our standard camera offers superior imaging, resolution and color balance. It all adds up to an excellent on screen picture. The camera is rated at 470 lines resolution. We have reviewed less expensive models, even one rated at 500 lines resolution. But guess what, in composite video mode (the way most clinics use it) the 470 line camera gives a superior, finer detailed image. What that means, is that for video cameras, the underlying electronics count more than the rated specifications. Whether a camera has a 1/3 inch or 1/2 inch chip, 450 lines or 500 lines, the bottom line becomes image quality. In this case, digital electronic processing gives superior performance.

Comparison Shopping: Quite frankly, there are no comparably priced units in the marketplace that offer the custom upgrade potential that we've designed into our units along with our pricing structure and superior system imaging. But look around, if you find something better offered let us know. We are always willing to adapt to changing technology.

All in all, the Biomedx Systems are the hottest ticket in Live Blood Microscopy today.

Biomedx is an Olympus OEM, as well as being dealers for Hitachi, Qioptic, Chui Technical, Sony, JVC and others.

We put together what works best for our clients without sacrificing quality or performance and strive to do it at most advantageous prices. 

We have chosen Olympus for our core microscope systems because of the excellent tooling and bottom line quality. Olympus is known around the world as having superior optics and imaging capability, they are second to none.

We strongly utilize Olympus CX microscopes which we modify with our fiber optic technology specifically to get enhanced performance at an unbeatable price. This works well for us as well as for the labs and clinics we serve.

SOME REASONS WHY THIS SCOPE EXCELS FOR THE TASK AT HAND

Ergonomic
The first thing you may notice about this microscope is its unique ergonomic design. The slim microscope base allows the operator to move arms in a natural, comfortable manner during operation. Frequently used stage controls and focusing knobs are easy for the operator to manipulate without having to raise arms and wrists from the work surface.

Rugged
This scope is often used in educational environments and has been designed to withstand rugged handling and frequent repositioning. Olympus incorporated a thick, extra-rigid frame on the CX series. They went further by securely attaching the revolving nosepiece and mechanical stage to the microscope stand - a design consideration that appreciably reduces operator errors.

Inward Facing Nosepiece
Note how the revolving nosepiece is positioned to ensure that the objectives point away from the observer. This design not only enlarges the work area, but facilitates smoother, more rapid slide changes or specimen observation position adjustments.

Unique Stage Design
A conventional stage x-y axis adjustment often sees the mechanical arm for the x-axis protrude a few inches out from the stage, often interfering when you move your hand for the focus and light intensity adjustments. Not so with the CH30. A unique internal stage mechanism eliminates the arm and the interference.

Anti-fungus Treatment
An effective anti-fungus treatment is applied to the optical parts of the scope to eliminate growth of fungi, a major cause of optical system damage. The treatment, applied to the observation tubes, eyepieces and objectives, protects the long-term quality of the optical parts even in high-humidity regions.

Bright Halogen Lighting
A bright halogen lamp (150watt) serves as the light source. This is put into the scope through a glass fiber optic cable to provide ample illumination for your work.

Vision Accommodating
High eye-point design facilitates use by operators wearing eyeglasses. Diopter adjustment ring compensates for eye acuity needs.

These are just a few basic highlights. Add them all together with the Biomedx enhanced modifications and they present a very formidable microscopic package that is unique in the marketplace. This is the perfect microscope for live blood and dry layer research, auditing & education for the clinic, or for the practitioner/educator who may often travel with their microscope unit.
