Olympus Plan Apo 2X Microscope Objective (PLAPON2X, NA 0.08, Infinity)

The Olympus Plan Apo N 2× Objective is a precision optical lens designed for wide-field overview and large specimen imaging in biological, clinical, and research microscopy. With 2× magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of approximately 0.08, this objective provides a large visual field, making it ideal for scanning slides, locating regions of interest, and performing preliminary observations before switching to higher magnification scopes.

Equipped with Plan Apochromat optical correction, the lens minimizes chromatic and spherical aberrations while maintaining flat-field performance across the entire image — delivering accurate color reproduction and uniform sharpness from center to edge. This level of correction is particularly useful for applications requiring consistent image quality across wide fields of view.

Built for compatibility with Olympus infinity-corrected microscope systems using UIS2 optics, this objective integrates seamlessly with popular upright research microscopes such as the BX series and others. Its standard RMS threaded mount ensures straightforward installation into most laboratory imaging setups.

With a working distance of around 6.2 mm, the Plan Apo N 2× Objective also offers useful space above the specimen for manipulations, perfusion chambers, or accessory tools during live or fixed sample imaging.
