Olympus IX-70/Fluoview FV-500 Confocal Microscope System Lab

Olympus IX-70 // Fluoview FV-500 Confocal Microscope System

This system was removed from a university laboratory where it was surplus to requirements.

The system powers on, and the basic microscope functions have been tested successfully. All optical and mechanical components appear to operate as expected, with the system in good overall cosmetic condition, showing signs of general use. Full FV500 operation will require a compatible PC running the appropriate control software.
