Zeiss EC Epiplan Apochromat 100X HD DIC Microscope Objective for Reflected Light Microscopy π¬ Ultra-premium EC Epiplan Apochromat objective for reflected light microscopy π― 100X magnification with 0.95 numerical aperture for maximum resolution π Apochromatic correction delivers superior color fidelity across the spectrum π Multi-contrast capability: Brightfield, Darkfield (HD), and DIC compatible π 0.21mm working distance suitable for standard specimen preparations π§ M27 thread compatible with Zeiss Axio series microscope systems β¨ New / open box condition π§ Product Description The Zeiss EC Epiplan Apochromat 100X HD DIC represents the pinnacle of high-magnification objective design for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy, combining apochromatic correction, exceptional numerical aperture, and multi-contrast capability for the most demanding industrial and research applications. As part of Zeiss's premium EC (Extended Contrast) Epiplan Apochromat series, this objective delivers exceptional chromatic correction across an extended wavelength range, ensuring accurate color reproduction and minimal chromatic aberration when examining reflective specimens. The apochromatic optical design provides superior color fidelity compared to fluorite or achromat objectives, making it ideal for applications requiring precise color analysis and multi-wavelength imaging. The "HD DIC" designation indicates compatibility with Brightfield, Darkfield (HD - High Definition), and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) imaging modes, making this objective exceptionally versatile for revealing different types of surface features, defects, and microstructural details. With a high 100X magnification and exceptional 0.95 numerical aperture, this objective provides the maximum resolving power for detailed examination of the finest surface features, while the 0.21mm working distance accommodates standard specimens. The M27 thread ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio series microscopes, and the infinity-corrected optical design allows for the insertion of DIC prisms and other optical accessories. This objective is in new/open box condition, offering top-tier multi-contrast performance with apochromatic correction. π Typical Applications High-resolution metallurgical analysis with multiple contrast modes Semiconductor wafer inspection and defect characterization Industrial quality control requiring apochromatic correction Failure analysis requiring brightfield, darkfield, and DIC imaging Multi-wavelength imaging and color analysis Microstructural analysis with enhanced contrast Printed circuit board (PCB) inspection at highest magnification Research applications requiring superior optical quality π Key Specifications Specification Details Model / Catalog Number Zeiss EC Epiplan Apochromat 100X HD DIC / 422692-9961 Magnification 100X Numerical Aperture (NA) 0.95 Optical Design EC Epiplan Apochromat, Infinity-Corrected Illumination Type Reflected light (epi-illumination) Chromatic Correction Apochromat (superior color correction) Contrast Modes Brightfield, Darkfield (HD), DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) Working Distance 0.21mm Thread Type M27 (27mm metric thread) Compatibility Zeiss Axio series reflected light microscopes Recommended Applications Metallurgy, semiconductor inspection, multi-contrast imaging, research Condition New / open box University purchase orders are welcome and accepted.
