Product Overview

The Olympus Plan N 10ร— Phase Contrast Objective is a high-quality, infinity-corrected objective designed for effective phase contrast observation of transparent and colorless specimens. With its high signal-to-noise ratio, excellent resolution, and superior contrast imaging capabilities, this objective is an essential tool for researchers working with live cells, tissue cultures, and other unstained biological samples.

Phase contrast microscopy transforms subtle differences in refractive index into visible contrast variations, allowing you to observe cellular structures and dynamics without the need for staining or fixation. The PH1 phase ring configuration is optimized for 10ร— magnification, delivering crisp, high-contrast images that reveal fine details in living specimens.

With a working distance of 10.6 mm, this objective provides exceptional clearance for slide handling, making it ideal for extended observation sessions and manipulation of culture vessels. The Plan N optical design ensures flat-field imaging with minimal distortion across the entire field of view.

Compatible with all Olympus infinity-corrected microscope systems including the BX, CX, and IX series, this objective integrates seamlessly into your existing research setup. The standard RMS thread mount ensures secure, precise alignment for optimal optical performance.
