When viewed under a fluorescence microscope, Cyclospora cayetanensis oocysts naturally autofluoresce, which makes a fluorescence microscope an ideal tool for identification. More information is available here:

The Olympus BX43 is a popular workhorse clinical and research grade microscope. These refurbished units have been assembled for cyclospora applications, making it easy to detect oocysts with either UV or green light.
As configured, these microscopes all come standard with a pair of 10x/22mm FOV eyepieces, transmitted light imaging, dual channel 375nm and 475nm excitation LED, and matching filters for fluorescence imaging. These channels have been specifically selected for cyclospora autofluorescence. You can choose from a standard binocular for viewing, or an integrated trinocular and LumiCam camera for saving images and documentation.
The 5 position nosepiece comes with fluorite (FL) grade 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x Oil objectives. Apochromat (APO) grade objectives or alternative magnifications are available. Please contact us for more information on a wide variety of available lenses.
This comes with a right handed XY mechanical stage with slide holder. We have optional left handed XY mechanical stages, or a plain fixed stage that can be provided. The abbe condenser has an adjustable iris diaphragm. The microscope is powered by an adjustable LED illuminator
This used microscope will be professionally serviced, cleaned, bagged, and packaged to be delivered to your lab safely. We make assembly quick and easy with a custom assembly video.
