Objectives

Air objectives

• UPLSAPO4X;U PLAN S-APO 4X, NA 0.16, WD 13 mm
• UPLSAPO10X2;U PLANS S-APO 10X; NA 0.4, WD 3.1 mm
• UPLSAPO20X;U PLAN S-APO 20X, NA 0.75, WD 0.65 mm
• UPLSAPO40X2;U PLAN S-APO 40X; NA 0.95, WD 0.18 mm

Silicone oil objectives

• UPLSAPO100XS; UPLSAPO 100X SI oil, NA 1.35, WD 0.20 mm

Silicone oil provides better refractive index match to cells and tissue than water or traditional immersion oil for brighter and deeper cell/tissue imaging. Silicone oil does not evaporate, nor degrade permitting very long, live cell/tissue time-lapse imaging with ease. Greater working distance than most traditional immersion objectives while still retaining high numerical aperture (100x – 1.35 NA 200 µm WD).

Plan Super Apochromat design fully compensates for both planar and chromatic aberrations from the UV to the near infrared region for precise multi-color colocalization imaging.
