Product Overview

The Olympus UPLANFL 20X PH1 phase contrast objective is specifically engineered for high-resolution phase contrast microscopy with superior optical performance. The plan fluorite (UPLANFL) optical design combines plan (flat-field) correction with fluorite elements, delivering exceptional image flatness across the entire field of view with superior chromatic aberration correction. Phase contrast microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained specimens by converting phase shifts in light passing through the specimen into amplitude changes, making cellular structures visible without staining. The PH1 designation indicates this objective is optimized for use with 20x phase contrast condensers. At 0.50 numerical aperture with 1.6mm working distance, this objective provides excellent resolution for detailed cellular imaging. The RMS thread ensures compatibility with Olympus infinity corrected microscope systems. Excellent condition with flawless optics ensures optimal imaging performance and reliable operation for demanding research, clinical, and laboratory applications.
