Olympus Model IX70
HBO 100W
Phase Contrast Microscopy
Inverted Cell Culture
Fluorescence Microscope

Main Features:

• Inverted style for viewing petri dishes and cell cultures.
• Higher power 100W HBO Fluorescent Light.
• Higher power 100W Halogen Transmitted light. Not the common 30W as used on the IX50 systems.
• Sextuple Nosepiece for holding up to six objective lenses.
• Magnification Changer on Side of frame. Can quickly magnify an additional 1.5x by engaging the lens.

Photography Camera Ports:

• Part Number: U-TR30H. Includes part number IX-ATU intermediate piece below head.
• Trinocular viewing head with camera port.
  Three positions: 100 percent light to eyepieces, 100 percent light to camera, or split image.
• Camera adapter for the top trinocular port (on the head) is included. This is a 0.5x reduction lens adapter and has a focusable feature to make it more par focal with the binoculars. This part is not by Olympus. This adapter can be used to attach a variety of c-mount version microscope cameras.
• Camera is not included. Photos show a Q Imaging (MicroPublisher 5.0 RTV) Color camera. Model 01-MP5.0-RTV-CLR-10. 5 Megapixel and 10 bit. With CE certification. Made in Canada. This is not your typical Made in China junk. Q Imaging in Canada makes these cameras for Olympus and they carry the prestigious Olympus name on them. They also sell the exact same camera without the Olympus name, which is what this one is. It is great for picking up the low lux fluorescing images.
• DSLR camera port on front of frame.
  Includes the SLR camera adapter piece plus a T-Adapter for connection to a DSLR (Digital SLR camera). I’m not sure if this is a Canon or other T-adapter, but any standard T-adapter can be screwed onto the main adapter. Other model T-adapters are easily for found and cost less than USD 10.
• A common digital SLR camera to attach is the Canon Rebel DSLR. The lens is removed from the camera and only the body is needed.
• Side video camera port. This is capable of attaching a c-mount and a camera. No camera is shown on this port in the images. It is shown capped off, but is fully functional.
