Researchers are interested in the impact of gene expression and protein function not only at the cellular level but also within whole tissues, organs and even organisms.

Hence organisms like C. elegans, Drosophila, Zebrafish, Xenopus, Mouse or the plant Arabidopsis are used as biological models for in vivo studies in a vast field of research applications. The introduction of the naturally fluorescent protein markers, such as Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), was a significant breakthrough since proteins can now be labelled without influencing their function.

The perfect microscope for fluorescence observation in intact organisms must combine maximum detection sensitivity at the lowest magnifications with a high magnification zoom for the resolution of fine details within organs, tissues and even cells. The Olympus MVX10 MacroView brings both of these factors together with many other unique features to bridge the gap between macro and micro observation, providing unprecedented brightness, resolution and precision.

• High fluorescence efficiency plus stereo observation
• Seamless observation from 4x to 125x
• Zoom factor up to 31 times
• Long WD for observation at optimum magnification
• Maximum specimen protection due to short exposure time
• Complete system solutions for optimized recordings
