Olympus APX100

APX100


Benchtop Fluorescence Microscope

Exceptional Imaging Made Easy


The APEXVIEW APX100 benchtop fluorescence microscope makes it fast and simple to acquire expert-quality microscope images.

Built with renowned Olympus optics, an intuitive user interface, a powerful AI, and a suite of smart features,

the APX100 system combines the ease of use of an

all-in-one-microscope with high-quality image data to fit your research needs.

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.

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.

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.


Gradient Contrast


Acquiring sharp images at the edges of a well in a multi-well plate can be challenging.

he 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

Clearer Images with Motorized Spherical Aberration Correction


Account for the thickness of your cover glass quickly and simply with the system’s motorized spherical aberration correction.


  • No more manual correction collar adjustments
  • Motorized adjuster is easy to set up and control
  • Choose presets for glass or plastic containers or make custom adjustments
