The Mitutoyo LCD Plan Apo NIR 50× Objective (t1.1) is a specialized near-infrared and SWIR optimized plan apochromat objective from Mitutoyo’s LCD Plan Apo NIR series — delivering 50× magnification with a 17mm working distance, 480–1800nm spectral range, and optical correction specifically designed for imaging through a 1.1mm thick cover glass or flat panel substrate. The t1.1 designation indicates this objective is corrected for the 1.1mm glass thickness used in older LCD panel substrates, certain semiconductor packaging, and other applications where a thicker glass layer is present between the objective and the specimen.

KEY FEATURES

  • Corrected for 1.1mm cover glass (t1.1) — specifically optimized for 1.1mm glass substrate thickness, used in older LCD panel glass, certain semiconductor packaging substrates, and other flat panel applications; eliminates the spherical aberration introduced by the thicker glass layer that would degrade image quality with standard or t0.7-corrected objectives
  • NIR/SWIR spectral range: 480–1800nm — transmission extending to 1800nm enables high-magnification inspection at NIR wavelengths through the 1.1mm glass layer, InGaAs camera imaging, SWIR fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy with long-wavelength excitation lasers
  • Long working distance: 17mm — exceptional clearance for a 50× objective, providing ample room for large panel specimens, inspection fixtures, and environmental control hardware
  • NA 0.42 at 50× — practical numerical aperture for a long working distance NIR/SWIR objective, delivering good resolution for high-magnification panel defect inspection, pixel-level analysis, and Raman mapping through the 1.1mm glass layer
  • Plan apochromat correction — Mitutoyo’s highest level of chromatic and spherical aberration correction for accurate, flat-field imaging across the full 480–1800nm spectral range through the 1.1mm glass layer
  • Infinity-corrected, M26 thread — compatible with Mitutoyo FS series microscopes and other infinity-corrected systems with M26 nosepieces
  • 🇯🇵 Mitutoyo quality, made in Japan — precision optical construction for consistent, high-efficiency NIR/SWIR transmission and long service life
  • Catalog number 378-828-16

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo LCD Plan Apo NIR 50× t1.1 (378-828-16) is the 1.1mm cover glass corrected version of the LCD Plan Apo NIR 50× series — designed for applications where the glass substrate is 1.1mm thick rather than the 0.7mm standard of current LCD panels. The 1.1mm glass thickness is found in older LCD panel generations, certain semiconductor packaging substrates, and other flat panel or encapsulated specimen configurations. Selecting the correct t-value is critical: using a t0.7-corrected objective on a 1.1mm substrate (or vice versa) will introduce residual spherical aberration that degrades resolution and contrast at 50×. The t1.1 correction ensures optimal optical performance specifically for this substrate thickness. The 480–1800nm spectral range enables NIR and SWIR imaging through the 1.1mm glass layer, including inspection at NIR wavelengths where panel defects, electrode structures, and backplane features are more clearly revealed than in visible light, as well as InGaAs camera imaging and Raman spectroscopy with NIR/SWIR excitation lasers. The 17mm working distance provides practical clearance for large panel specimens and inspection fixtures. For 0.7mm glass substrates at 50×, see the LCD Plan Apo NIR 50× t0.7 (378-829-16). For uncovered specimens at 50× NIR/SWIR, see the M Plan Apo NIR 50× series (378-825-17 or 378-863-5 HR). Compatible with Mitutoyo FS series microscopes and other infinity-corrected systems with M26 thread nosepieces. Catalog number 378-828-16.
