Olympus PlanC N 60X Microscope Objective (PLCN60X, NA 0.80, Infinity)

The Olympus PLCN 60× 0.8 Plan Achromatic Objective is a high-magnification dry microscope lens designed for routine brightfield and clinical microscopy, offering a balance of performance and practicality for general laboratory use. With 60× magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.80, this objective delivers crisp, clear imaging of specimens where high detail is needed without the complexity of immersion imaging.

As part of Olympus’s Plan achromat series, this objective is engineered with optical corrections that maintain a flat field across the entire view, reducing both chromatic and spherical aberrations relative to standard achromat designs. This makes it a solid choice for tasks like routine histological examination, clinical lab work, and educational microscopy where consistent edge-to-edge sharpness is beneficial.

The short working distance of approximately 0.2 mm is characteristic of high-magnification lenses, providing close access to the sample for detailed observation. Its standard RMS threaded mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of upright research and clinical microscopes, making integration into existing optical systems seamless.

Whether for brightfield visualization of cellular detail or general laboratory workflows that require strong magnification with dependable clarity, the PLCN 60× 0.8 objective is a reliable optical workhorse.
