OLYMPUS UPLANFL 60X PHASE CONTRAST OIL IMMERSION OBJECTIVE FOR THE BX SERIES MICROSCOPES

The Olympus UPLANFL 60X phase contrast oil immersion objective is specifically engineered for high-resolution phase contrast microscopy with correction collar capability. 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. The integrated correction collar enables optimization for varying cover glass thickness, compensating for spherical aberration introduced by different cover glass thicknesses. This ensures optimal image quality across different specimen preparation methods. 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. 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 series infinity corrected microscope systems. Excellent condition ensures optimal optical performance and reliable operation for demanding research, clinical, and laboratory applications.
