00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,003
The Olympus BX3M series
of upright microscopes

2
00:00:18,005 --> 00:00:23,796
has been developed and designed
for industry and materials science.

3
00:00:23,798 --> 00:00:26,303
Newly configured hardware
guides the user

4
00:00:26,305 --> 00:00:29,043
to achieve optimal illumination
and focus,

5
00:00:29,045 --> 00:00:32,125
making the microscope easy to operate.

6
00:00:32,126 --> 00:00:35,576
Together with OLYMPUS
Stream image analysis software,

7
00:00:35,578 --> 00:00:40,675
users can seamlessly acquire,
process, and measure images.

8
00:00:40,676 --> 00:00:43,433
In addition, users can create reports

9
00:00:43,435 --> 00:00:45,781
with the touch of a button.

10
00:00:45,783 --> 00:00:47,868
Our leading-edge optics are engineered

11
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:51,631
to provide advanced performance
and durability.

12
00:00:51,633 --> 00:00:55,280
The BX3M series provides excellent
observation methods

13
00:00:55,281 --> 00:00:59,046
for materials science applications
including brightfield,

14
00:00:59,048 --> 00:01:04,385
darkfield, polarized light and
differential interference contrast.

15
00:01:04,386 --> 00:01:08,115
Based on technology from our
DSX digital microscopes,

16
00:01:08,116 --> 00:01:12,271
the BX3M also offers
Olympus directional darkfield

17
00:01:12,273 --> 00:01:14,126
and MIX illumination.

18
00:01:14,128 --> 00:01:16,556
The 16 LED’s in the MIX slider

19
00:01:16,558 --> 00:01:18,886
shine directional darkfield on the
sample

20
00:01:18,888 --> 00:01:22,768
similar to traditional darkfield,
but with more flexibility.

21
00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:25,706
Operators can adjust the amount
and direction of light

22
00:01:25,708 --> 00:01:28,313
using an intuitive handset.

23
00:01:28,315 --> 00:01:30,570
Using this new technique is especially

24
00:01:30,571 --> 00:01:34,241
helpful to determine raised
surfaces from depressions.

25
00:01:34,243 --> 00:01:36,020
Directional darkfield can also be
combined with

26
00:01:36,021 --> 00:01:38,311
with other optical techniques

27
00:01:38,313 --> 00:01:40,670
creating MIX illumination.

28
00:01:40,671 --> 00:01:43,198
This flexibility allows you
to see features

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,908
and structures of your sample that
are traditionally difficult to detect

30
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:49,615
with a single observation method.

31
00:01:49,616 --> 00:01:51,955
For traditional observation methods,

32
00:01:51,956 --> 00:01:54,756
setting the illumination intensity
with Light Manager

33
00:01:54,758 --> 00:01:58,411
saves time and minimizes
operator training.

34
00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:00,988
Light manager works
with coded hardware

35
00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:04,446
by adjusting the illumination
intensity to preset values

36
00:02:04,448 --> 00:02:07,955
when the magnification and
observation method are changed.

37
00:02:07,956 --> 00:02:11,903
This takes the guesswork out
of optimizing the lighting.

38
00:02:11,905 --> 00:02:14,838
Panoramic imaging
expands the field of view

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,506
when the region of interest exceeds
that of a single magnified image.

40
00:02:19,508 --> 00:02:21,595
Creating a panoramic image with

41
00:02:21,596 --> 00:02:24,758
instant multiple image alignment,
or instant MIA,

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,706
is now possible by simply moving
the knobs on the stage.

43
00:02:28,708 --> 00:02:30,768
When a motorized stage is used,

44
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:34,865
an overview map enables easy
navigation of the sample.

45
00:02:34,866 --> 00:02:38,510
When a sample’s topography extends
beyond the depth of focus,

46
00:02:38,511 --> 00:02:41,406
extended focus image, or EFI,

47
00:02:41,408 --> 00:02:44,988
enables you to use the fine focus
adjustment on the microscope

48
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:48,190
and combine many images
taken at different Z-levels

49
00:02:48,191 --> 00:02:52,341
to create a single image
that is entirely in focus.

50
00:02:52,343 --> 00:02:55,183
This acquisition can be
viewed as a 3D image

51
00:02:55,185 --> 00:02:58,461
at various angles and as a color map.

52
00:02:58,463 --> 00:03:00,150
When using a Z encoder,

53
00:03:00,151 --> 00:03:03,443
measurements can be
performed on the profile.

54
00:03:03,445 --> 00:03:05,276
New functions in Olympus Stream

55
00:03:05,278 --> 00:03:08,836
have improved overall
reproducibility and ease of use,

56
00:03:08,838 --> 00:03:10,886
such as restore device status

57
00:03:10,888 --> 00:03:14,515
and our auto calibration feature.

58
00:03:14,516 --> 00:03:16,396
For more than 90 years,

59
00:03:16,398 --> 00:03:19,690
Olympus has been
a leader in microscope design.

60
00:03:19,691 --> 00:03:22,636
Our microscopes are constructed
with the user in mind

61
00:03:22,638 --> 00:03:26,321
and feature an ergonomic design,
advanced optics,

62
00:03:26,323 --> 00:03:30,651
industry leading modularity,
and powerful software.

63
00:03:30,653 --> 00:03:34,006
The BX3M’s strong focus
on intuitive imaging

64
00:03:34,008 --> 00:03:36,636
and functionality
reflects our commitment

65
00:03:36,638 --> 00:03:39,263
to creating innovative
microscopy solutions

66
00:03:39,265 --> 00:03:42,005
to support the needs of our customers.
