Low-power 2× objective designed for wide-field imaging and large specimen overview. 🔬 2× Magnification, NA 0.06 — Provides a large field of view and excellent depth of focus. Catalog Number: 1-U2B221 - New in Box 🧠 Plan Optical Design — Delivers flat imaging with reduced aberrations across the field. 📸 High Transmission in Visible Range — Strong contrast and clarity for brightfield applications. 📏 Extended Working Distance (~5.8 mm) — Amply spaced for large specimens, manipulation space, and accessory tools. ⚙️ Standard RMS Thread Compatibility — Fits most research microscopes with RMS/standard objective mounts. 🧪 Product Description The Olympus PLN 2× Objective is a specialized low-magnification microscope lens engineered for wide-field observation and overview imaging. With 2× magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.06, it delivers a broad visual field suited for surveying large specimens, performing initial sample mapping, or capturing context before advancing to higher magnifications. Featuring a Plan optical design, this objective corrects chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce sharp, flat images across the entire field of view — even at low power. This optical performance makes it well suited for brightfield microscopy, transmitted light imaging, and general overview tasks where uniform clarity and consistent imaging are critical. The extended working distance of approximately 5.8 mm allows ample space between the objective front and the specimen. This makes it easier to manipulate samples, use auxiliary devices such as manipulators or micrometers, and accommodate larger sample holders without risking contact. The objective’s standard RMS threaded mount ensures broad compatibility with upright microscope stands commonly used in research, clinical, and educational labs. 🔎 Typical Applications Low-power brightfield microscopy Specimen overview and mapping Educational and teaching lab scanning Documentation of large fields Preparatory imaging prior to high-power objectives 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Magnification 2× Numerical Aperture (NA) 0.08 Optical Design Plan Working Distance ~5.8 mm Field Number 26.5 mm Wavelength Range ~380–700 nm Mount RMS (20.32 × 36 TPI) Immersion Medium Air (dry) Parfocal Length ~45 mm Compatible Cover Glass None required (dry objective) Condition New
