ZEISS PLAN APOCHROMAT 5X OBJECTIVE LENS Achieve superior color correction and exceptional image quality with this premium apochromatic objective, featuring: 🌈 Plan apochromat design for best-in-class color correction across the visible spectrum 🔬 5x magnification with 0.16 numerical aperture for wide-field observation 📏 Generous 12.2mm working distance for thick specimens and manipulation 🔧 RMS thread mount (M27 adapter available upon request) ⭐ Excellent pre-owned condition with flawless optical performance 🔧 Product Description The Zeiss Plan Apochromat 5x objective represents the pinnacle of optical correction technology, delivering superior chromatic and spherical aberration correction for the most demanding imaging applications. Plan apochromat objectives correct for chromatic aberration across three wavelengths (red, green, blue) and spherical aberration at two wavelengths, ensuring color-accurate, high-contrast images with minimal optical artifacts. This level of correction is essential for critical color imaging, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, and applications where faithful color reproduction is paramount. The 5x magnification provides an optimal balance between field of view and resolution for screening large specimens, tissue sections, and multi-well plates. The 0.16 numerical aperture delivers adequate light-gathering capability for brightfield, DIC, and moderate-intensity fluorescence applications, while the 12.2mm working distance accommodates thick specimens, slides with coverslips, and allows room for environmental chambers or manipulation tools. The RMS thread mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of microscope platforms, and an M27 adapter is available upon request for Zeiss infinity-corrected systems. Plan apochromat objectives are the preferred choice for color-critical applications including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and multi-color fluorescence imaging where accurate color representation is essential for diagnostic or analytical accuracy. 🔎 Typical Applications Histopathology and diagnostic microscopy requiring accurate color reproduction Multi-color immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence imaging Quantitative fluorescence microscopy and ratiometric imaging Brightfield and DIC imaging of stained biological specimens High-resolution digital imaging and photomicrography Research applications demanding superior optical correction 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Catalog Number 440620 Magnification 5x Numerical Aperture (NA) 0.16 Working Distance 12.2mm Optical Design Plan Apochromat (superior color correction) Correction Infinity-corrected Thread Mount RMS (M27 adapter available upon request) Condition Excellent with flawless optics (pre-owned) Primary Advantage Best-in-class color correction for critical imaging University purchase orders are welcomed and accepted.
