Olympus UPLANSAPO 100X Silicone Immersion Plan Super Apochromat Objective

The Olympus UPLANSAPO 100X silicone immersion objective represents a breakthrough in high-resolution deep-tissue imaging technology. Unlike traditional oil immersion objectives, this super apochromat design utilizes silicone immersion medium (refractive index ~1.40), which closely matches the refractive index of biological specimens and mounting media. This refractive index matching dramatically reduces spherical aberration when imaging deep into thick specimens, making it the ideal choice for confocal microscopy, multiphoton imaging, and live tissue studies where penetration depth is critical. With exceptional chromatic correction across an extended wavelength range from ultraviolet through visible to near-infrared, the UPLANSAPO 100X ensures accurate color reproduction and minimal chromatic aberration in multi-channel fluorescence imaging. The high numerical aperture of 1.35 provides outstanding resolving power and light-gathering efficiency, while the plan optical design delivers superior flatness of field across the entire 26.5mm field number. Compatible with Olympus BX and IX series research microscopes, this objective is essential for laboratories conducting advanced cellular imaging, neuroscience research, developmental biology, and any application requiring high-resolution imaging deep within thick specimens.
