Olympus UPlanXAPO 10X Objective | 0.40 NA Extended Apochromat, Infinity Corrected

Why Choose UPLXAPO Over Standard Objectives?

Standard objectives (Plan Achromat or Plan Fluorite) provide good performance for routine imaging but fall short in advanced applications.

UPLXAPO objectives offer:

・Significantly higher numerical aperture for better resolution
・Superior chromatic correction for fluorescence and multi-channel imaging
・Flat field across large sensors — ideal for digital imaging
・Improved signal collection for low-light applications

This makes UPLXAPO the preferred choice for confocal, fluorescence, and high-resolution research imaging

The Olympus UPLanxApo 10x Extended Apochromat Objective is a versatile and reliable microscope objective designed for everyday imaging tasks in research, clinical, and teaching laboratories. With 10x magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.40, it provides a balanced combination of resolution and depth of field, making it ideal for scanning larger regions of a sample, routine observation, and documentation.

Featuring extended apochromat optical correction, this objective significantly reduces both chromatic and spherical aberrations, delivering sharp, high-contrast images across the entire field of view. This correction is especially important when imaging with broadband illumination, multi-label fluorescence, or when stitching together large image mosaics.

The objective’s design supports a wide field of view — a key advantage when surveying slides before shifting to higher magnifications or when capturing overview images that require consistent optical performance.

Whether used for fundamental brightfield microscopy, advanced fluorescence imaging, or phase contrast applications, the UPLanxApo 10× delivers dependable performance that meets the demands of diverse imaging workflows.
