Testimonials
”I have been genuinely pleased with the APX100 performance so far in a busy, diverse laboratory. It is feeding data to multiple in-house projects, as well as helping us set up capabilities for new academic collaborations. The options for upgrades are very good, with the advantage of a lower capital expenditure investment.”

Automatic Sample Detection
Place your sample in the sample holder, and the smart sample navigator automatically acquires a macro image. The AI then locates your sample on the slide and automatically positions it above the objective, so that you can choose the observation method and immediately begin capturing images.

Simple Layout and Workflow Maximize Efficiency
Designed for simplicity, using the APX100 microscope is as easy as loading your sample, closing the lid, and pushing a button.
- Clear software layout and streamlined workflow
- Begin imaging with very little training
High-Speed Autofocus
With an autofocus up to twelve times faster than conventional autofocus algorithms, you can locate the imaging plane quickly.
Advanced Optical Technology
Our advanced optical technology gives you the flexibility to capture high-quality images in many research applications.
- Uses leading-edge Olympus optics—including our award-winning X Line and silicone immersion objectives
- Six-position revolving nosepiece enables observation at multiple magnifications with the click of a button
- Uses a high color rendering LED for outstanding transmitted light imaging and a broadband LED light source for fluorescence
- Add a high-quality monochrome camera, and see fine details with accurate color rendering
Gradient Contrast
Acquiring sharp images at the edges of a well in a multi-well plate can be challenging. The contrast is poor even when using oblique contrast, and DIC does not work well with plastic containers. Using our unique gradient contrast method, you can capture sharp images in a wider area and with higher contrast than the conventional method.
- Works with any Olympus objective
- Less affected by the meniscus, container lids, and water droplets
- Can be used with glass- and plastic-bottom dishes and multi-well plates
- Image through the plastic lids of Petri dishes and multi-well plates, reducing the risk of contamination

Tools for Clearer Images
Photobleaching Prevention Mode
The APX100 system’s photobleaching prevention mode minimizes light exposure and phototoxicity. The fluorescence illuminator only emits excitation light for the time it takes to acquire the image. The static image is then displayed on the screen, providing time to take measurements or evaluate captures.
Reduces the Halo Effect in Phase Contrast Imaging
The system can reduce the halo-like artifacts that are sometimes visible in phase contrast observations, making sample structures easier to observe.

Automated Correction for Uneven Samples
The built-in focus map allows you to set different focal planes for imaging while also correcting for sample tilt. Obtain sharp stitched images with no focus shift, even for thick, uneven samples.
A Line 20X Objective for Plastic Containers
The A Line 20X phase contrast objective (UCPLFLN20XPH) with a numerical aperture of 0.7 enables bright, high-resolution imaging of cells in plastic dishes.
Experiment Data Management and Analysis
Images Are Organized and Easy to Find
The APX100 microscope has a dedicated system to organize and store your data. When you acquire an image, the software automatically creates folders for each sample and saves the data into the correct one. The consistent indexing keeps your data organized and easy to locate.
Recall Image Acquisition Settings
The APX100 system saves all important acquisition settings with the image data, making it easy to recall experiment conditions.
Image Processing and Analysis Functions that Accelerate Research
Our advanced cellSens image processing and analysis software works seamlessly with the APX100 system, providing you the tools to process and analyze your data quickly and efficiently.
cellSens Image Analysis
An optional cellSens software license provides powerful analysis capabilities.
- Access image processing techniques, including counting intracellular signals, analyzing the brightness of time-lapse data, and Olympus' TruAI deep-learning technology
- The TruAI deep-learning solution offers flexibility, from predicting multi-class nuclei phenotypes for drug testing to rapid automated detection and segmentation of glomeruli
- cellSens integration enables easy, on-the-spot processing for simple measurements and image export
TruAI Deep-Learning Applications
TruSight Deconvolution
Fluorescence blur is a challenge when imaging thick specimens with widefield fluorescent microscopes. Our TruSight deconvolution algorithms improve image quality, enabling you to obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio, enhance resolution, and see deeper in thick specimens.
