This is description of this part:

Service part (repair element) for Olympus BX microscopes. This is an angle mirror which reflects the light from the illuminator located in the microscope base (in the stand base) of the microscope (that is transmitted light). On the outside there is a lens that collimates the light and a place where filters are placed. The mirror is in excellent condition - however, in my opinion it is attached in an unusual way. Either the manufacturer used a large amount of adhesive to secure it properly - or somebody did this later during the years of use using a large amount of adhesive. Of course this has no effect on operation - operation is flawless - but I want to point this out.

This is a part removed from the stand of an Olympus BX40 microscope. It has been tested and cleaned - and is suitable for use as a service element for repairing a damaged microscope. Many smaller Olympus service elements do not have their own catalog numbers or commercial names, therefore in the last photos in the gallery I indicate with an arrow exactly which element is being offered and where it is located inside the microscope. In this description some names used are descriptive rather than official technical commercial names.

Olympus BX series microscopes use identical assemblies in many different models, therefore there is a high probability that this element - although removed from a BX40 model - is also compatible with other BX series models (for example BX41, BX43, BX50, BX51 etc.). However, before deciding to install such an element in an Olympus BX microscope, it is advisable to first carefully compare shapes and dimensions or ask appropriate questions on forums and in Olympus BX microscope user groups.
