Fluorescence microscopy on Olympus BHB

#1 Post by Gigi » Thu Aug 11, 2022 4:37 pm

I have an Olympus BHB microscope and I want to add epifluorescence to it, I found some epifluorescence illuminator but for the BH-2 microscopes.
Will the BH-2 illuminator work on my BHB?

The dovetail should fit. There may be other issues of compatibility if it's not a complete unit (right objectives, working illuminator, etc.).

My worries were that the illumination couldn't work because on them there is 1,25× and maybe on BHB they can made a different effect, and also the filters, but the mounting dimensions will work, on my BHB I have a BH-2 trinocular head.

So....what are you going to look at with an epi-fluoresence setup?
