Engineered with specially selected, stress-free optical glass, this objective eliminates the birefringence artifacts introduced by internal lens strain — ensuring that only the specimen's true optical properties are observed under crossed polarizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔧 Product Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CFI P Achro 20X (MRP50202) is a strain-free (\"P\" designation) achromat objective designed specifically for polarized light microscopy on Nikon CFI infinity-corrected upright microscopes. Standard objectives contain residual stress in their optical elements that introduces unwanted birefringence, which can obscure or distort the specimen's true polarization signal. The P Achro series uses carefully selected, strain-free glass and mounting techniques to minimize this background birefringence to negligible levels, providing a dark, clean extinction field under crossed polarizers. At 20x, it provides a wider field of view than higher-magnification POL objectives, making it well-suited for surveying large areas of thin sections, screening specimens, and locating regions of interest before moving to higher magnification. Achromat correction provides good color and contrast performance for routine polarized light work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolarized light microscopy of minerals, crystals, and geological thin sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-field survey and screening of birefringent specimens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirefringence analysis of polymers, fibers, and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePathology and histology: collagen, muscle fiber, bone, and amyloid detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmaceutical analysis: crystalline drug substance characterization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Correction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAchromat (\"P\" strain-free designation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrain-Free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — minimized internal birefringence for clean extinction under crossed polarizers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroscope Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFI infinity-corrected upright\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMRP50202\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversity and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
