The FSX100 comes complete with three fluorescence filters built-in. Ultraviolet, blue and green excitation filter sets allow the imaging of a wide variety of fluorescence specimens. These high performance, hard coated filters are robust and combine with superior Olympus optical components to produce stunning fluorescence images.

The FSX100 includes a Projection Phase contrast system. In a standard microscope, the phase annulus is housed inside the objective and can be difficult to align. It also attenuates light. With Projection Phase, the annulus is outside of the objective allowing maximum brightness when not in use, and a precentered design.

The FSX100 incorporates an Olympus designed and manufactured color digital cameras. Building on the Olympus tradition for quality, the FSX100 camera offers excellent color reproduction and sensitivity.

Two specimen holders are provided as standard. One of the holders is intended for slide glass and dia. 35mm glass bottom dish.The other one is for a flat plate to accommodate various shapes of specimens.
