The Nikon CC Achromat/Aplanat Condenser is a high-performance 1.4 NA substage condenser for Nikon upright compound microscopes, delivering chromatic and spherical aberration-corrected illumination across the full objective range from 10x to 100x — the standard of choice for demanding brightfield, phase contrast, and DIC applications. • 🔦 1.4 NA achromat/aplanat correction — fully corrected for chromatic and spherical aberration for uniform, high-quality illumination• 📏 1.6mm working distance — accommodates standard glass slides with coverslips across the full objective range• 🔬 10x to 100x objective range — optimized illumination across the complete magnification range of Nikon upright systems• ⚙️ Nikon upright compound microscope compatible — fits standard Nikon substage condenser mounts• 🏭 Genuine Nikon OEM — part no. MBL71405, made in Japan, New• 🎓 University purchase orders accepted 🔧 Product Description The Nikon CC Achromat/Aplanat Condenser is the premium substage condenser in the Nikon transmitted light condenser lineup, combining achromatic correction (eliminating chromatic aberration) with aplanatic correction (eliminating spherical aberration) to produce the highest quality illumination cone available for Nikon upright microscopes. At 1.4 NA, this condenser matches the numerical aperture of the highest-NA oil immersion objectives, ensuring that the full resolving power of objectives from 10x through 100x is realized without illumination-side limitations. The 1.6mm working distance accommodates standard 1mm glass slides with coverslips, making it suitable for routine biological and materials specimens. This condenser is essential for phase contrast, DIC, and any brightfield application where illumination quality directly impacts image resolution and contrast. Supplied in excellent condition as a genuine Nikon OEM component manufactured in Japan. 🔎 Typical Applications • High-resolution brightfield microscopy requiring aberration-corrected illumination• Phase contrast imaging across 10x–100x objective range on Nikon upright systems• DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) transmitted light imaging• Photomicrography and digital documentation requiring uniform, color-accurate illumination• Replacement or upgrade of existing substage condensers on Nikon upright compound microscopes 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Manufacturer Nikon Model CC Achromat/Aplanat Condenser Part Number MBL71405 Numerical Aperture 1.4 Working Distance 1.6 mm Objective Range 10x to 100x Optical Correction Achromat / Aplanat (chromatic & spherical aberration corrected) Compatible Systems Nikon Upright Compound Microscopes Country of Origin Japan Condition New University and institutional customers are welcome to submit purchase orders.
