Olympus OM system close-up and macro equipment

Olympus microscope documentation

The Olympus OM system was in production for such a long time (1972–2003) that it was used with at least 4 generations of Olympus compound microscopes: EH/FH, BH, BH-2 and BX. It is not easy to obtain information about discontinued Olympus microscopes, so I have collected all of the brochures, catalogues and instruction manuals that I can find for the compound and stereo microscopes that are most likely to be used with Olympus OM cameras, and made them available here for downloading.
