Selling my Olympus BH-2, a well-built laboratory microscope I’ve owned since 2013 and used for more than ten years. It has been professionally serviced every year through 2025 and is in working order, and the camera works. I’m letting it go because I’ve stopped offering the service it was used for, so it’s ready for its next user.
The BH-2 was introduced by Olympus in 1980 and is known for its durability, with all-metal gears and a sturdy build. It’s a brightfield microscope with a long-barrel objective design, a centerable mechanical stage, and an Abbe condenser. The halogen lamp is adjustable and includes a photo setting for camera work.
Included:
Olympus BH-2 stand with trinocular head
Olympus WHK 10x/20 eyepieces
Three Olympus objectives
MTV-3 camera adapter with digital color CCD camera, for projecting the view to a TV or monitor (camera works)
Mechanical stage and slide holder
Wall-mounted TV, included as-is (I’m not certain it still works)
No dust cover. Ideal for a clinic, school, lab, or hobbyist who wants a solid, classic microscope at a fraction of new prices. Cash or e-transfer, pick-up only. Priced to sell, and open to reasonable offers.
