Product Overview

The Nikon CC Achromat/Aplanat Condenser is the premium substage condenser in the Nikon transmitted light condenser lineup, combining achromatic correction (eliminating chromatic aberration) with aplanatic correction (eliminating spherical aberration) to produce the highest quality illumination cone available for Nikon upright microscopes. At 1.4 NA, this condenser matches the numerical aperture of the highest-NA oil immersion objectives, ensuring that the full resolving power of objectives from 10x through 100x is realized without illumination-side limitations. The 1.6mm working distance accommodates standard 1mm glass slides with coverslips, making it suitable for routine biological and materials specimens. This condenser is essential for phase contrast, DIC, and any brightfield application where illumination quality directly impacts image resolution and contrast. Supplied in excellent condition as a genuine Nikon OEM component manufactured in Japan.
