Olympus BX61
Microscope used for microphotography equipped with an ALTRA 20 digital camera and a motorized stage in XYZ.
Olympus BX61-VS
Microscope used for digital microphotography equipped with the VS110 Virtual Slide system and an Olympus UC30 digital camera. This instrument also enables mosaic imaging acquisition on large surface areas and extended depth of field.
Olympus SZ61- NewWave MicroMill device
Microsampling system designed for high-resolution milling of rocks, minerals and fossils. The resulting powder is then collected for further chemical and/or isotopic analysis. The combination of sub-micron stage resolution, position accuracy and real-time video observation enables sampling of complex structures in skeletal and crystalline materials (e.g. annual growth banding of molluscan shells, crystal growth zonation ...).
