Olympus U-TLUIR Near-Infrared Single Port Tube Lens, 180mm Focal Length

The Olympus U-TLUIR Single Port Tube Lens is a specialized image formation lens unit engineered for infrared microscopy and digital imaging applications. Featuring optimized infrared transmission and environmentally friendly ECOGLASS technology, this tube lens enables high-quality near-infrared imaging while providing universal compatibility with Olympus C-mount camera adapters.

Infrared transmission capability makes this tube lens essential for near-infrared (NIR) microscopy applications where standard tube lenses may absorb or reflect infrared wavelengths. The specialized optical coatings and glass materials ensure efficient transmission of infrared light, enabling applications such as NIR fluorescence imaging, semiconductor inspection, materials analysis, and biological imaging with infrared-sensitive dyes or probes.

ECOGLASS technology represents Olympus's commitment to environmental sustainability. This advanced glass formulation eliminates hazardous materials traditionally used in optical glass manufacturing while maintaining exceptional optical performance. ECOGLASS provides the same high transmission, low dispersion, and excellent imaging quality as conventional optical glass, but with reduced environmental impact.

The single-port configuration provides a dedicated imaging port optimized for digital camera integration. This streamlined design eliminates the complexity of multi-port systems when camera imaging is the primary application, providing a cost-effective solution for dedicated imaging setups. The port accepts all standard Olympus C-mount camera adapters, including 0.35×, 0.5×, 0.63×, and 1× magnifications, allowing you to optimize the field of view and resolution for your specific camera sensor and application requirements.

In infinity-corrected microscope systems, the tube lens is a critical optical component that focuses the parallel light rays from infinity-corrected objectives to form the final image. The U-TLUIR maintains the optical performance and specifications of Olympus infinity-corrected objectives while providing the specialized infrared transmission needed for NIR imaging applications.

Compatible with Olympus CX, BX, and IX series microscope systems, this tube lens integrates seamlessly into existing Olympus microscopy setups. The precision Japanese manufacturing ensures reliable optical performance and mechanical compatibility, providing long-term stability and consistent imaging quality in demanding research and industrial environments.
