Olympus CXPL20X 20X Objective – Plan Achromat for CX23/CX33

The Olympus CXPL20X 20× Plan Achromat Objective is a high-quality lens engineered for routine microscopy applications on Olympus CX series microscopes. With 20× magnification and plan correction, this objective delivers sharp, high-contrast images with excellent field flatness, making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, educational laboratories, and routine biological observation where reliable optical performance is essential.

At 20× magnification with a numerical aperture of 0.40, this objective provides high magnification for detailed observation of cellular structures, tissue morphology, and microscopic specimens. This magnification is ideal for examining stained tissue sections, blood smears, bacterial cultures, and other biological samples where you need to see fine cellular details. The 20× magnification is a standard working magnification for routine clinical and educational microscopy.

Plan correction provides flat-field imaging with minimal curvature of field, maintaining sharp focus from the center to the edge of the field of view. This is essential for routine microscopy where uniform image quality across the entire field is required for accurate observation, documentation, and teaching. The plan correction ensures that the entire field of view is usable, which is particularly important for photomicrography and digital imaging.

Designed specifically for Olympus CX22, CX23, and CX33 series microscopes, this objective ensures proper mechanical fit and optical alignment with these popular educational and clinical microscope platforms. The CX series represents Olympus's routine laboratory microscope line, widely used in clinical laboratories, educational institutions, and research facilities for routine microscopy applications. This objective is the correct replacement or upgrade part for these microscopes.

Achromat correction provides good color correction for routine laboratory applications. While not as highly corrected as plan fluorite or plan apochromat objectives, achromat objectives offer reliable performance for standard biological microscopy with stained specimens. The achromat design provides a cost-effective solution for routine clinical and educational microscopy where the highest level of color correction is not required.

Infinity-corrected optical design ensures compatibility with modern Olympus CX series microscope systems. The objective works with the microscope's tube lens to form the final image, enabling the use of intermediate optical components and maintaining consistent optical performance. The infinity-corrected design represents modern microscope optics and ensures reliable, reproducible results.

Precision Japanese manufacturing by Olympus ensures reliable optical performance and long service life. The robust construction and high-quality optics provide the durability and consistency required for demanding clinical, educational, and routine laboratory environments. This brand new objective provides excellent value for routine microscopy applications on CX series microscopes.
