The Olympus MPLAPON 100×/1.40 Oil Immersion Reflected Light Objective is a premium plan apochromat oil immersion objective from Olympus’s MPLAPON series — designed for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy of opaque specimens including metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and polished surfaces, delivering NA 1.40 resolution and plan apochromat correction for the highest image quality in industrial and materials science microscopy. Offered here in excellent condition with flawless optics at significant savings versus the new list price.

KEY FEATURES

  • NA 1.40 oil immersion — the highest NA available in a reflected light oil immersion objective, delivering maximum resolution for fine structural detail in metals, semiconductors, and polished surfaces
  • Plan apochromat (MPLAPON) correction — flat-field apochromat correction for sharp, accurate imaging across the full field of view with minimal chromatic aberration
  • Reflected light (epi-illumination) design — optimized for incident light microscopy of opaque specimens; compatible with brightfield, darkfield, DIC, and polarized light reflected light techniques
  • Working distance: 0.10mm — standard for high-NA oil immersion objectives; specimen surface must be polished flat for optimal contact
  • Infinity-corrected, RMS thread — compatible with Olympus BX, MX, and GX series industrial and materials microscopes
  • 🇯🇵 Olympus quality, made in Japan — precision optical construction for consistent, high-efficiency light transmission and long service life
  • Condition: Excellent — flawless optics — SKU MPLAPON100XO

Product Overview

The Olympus MPLAPON 100×/1.40 Oil is the highest-performance objective in the Olympus MPLAPON reflected light series — delivering NA 1.40 oil immersion with plan apochromat correction for the most demanding industrial and materials science microscopy applications. At NA 1.40, this objective provides the maximum resolution available in reflected light oil immersion microscopy, enabling visualization of the finest microstructural details in metals, alloys, semiconductors, ceramics, and other opaque materials. The plan apochromat correction ensures flat-field imaging with accurate chromatic registration across the full field of view, essential for quantitative metallographic analysis, semiconductor defect inspection, and documentation where image accuracy is critical. Oil immersion at 100× provides significantly higher resolution than dry objectives at equivalent magnification, making this objective the definitive choice when maximum resolving power is required for fine grain structure, thin film analysis, or sub-micron feature inspection. Compatible with Olympus BX, MX, and GX series industrial and materials microscopes with RMS thread nosepieces. This unit is offered in excellent condition with flawless optics at a significant discount to the new list price of $5,900. SKU MPLAPON100XO.
