Olympus Plan N 100x PH3 Microscope Objective

The Olympus PLAN N 100X PH3 phase contrast objective is specifically engineered for high-resolution phase contrast microscopy with plan achromat optical design. The plan achromat design provides flat-field correction across the field of view, ensuring sharp focus from center to edge. 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 PH3 designation indicates this objective is optimized for use with 100x phase contrast condensers. At 1.25 numerical aperture with oil immersion, this objective provides exceptional resolution for ultra-detailed cellular imaging at high magnification. Oil immersion eliminates light loss at the glass-air interface, enabling maximum light-gathering capability and resolution. The RMS thread ensures compatibility with Olympus BX and CX series infinity corrected microscope systems. Factory-new condition ensures optimal optical performance and reliable operation for demanding research, clinical, and laboratory applications.
