🔧 Product Description

The Zeiss Achroplan 20x Water Dipping objective is specifically engineered for imaging living specimens in their natural aqueous environment, making it essential for electrophysiology, neuroscience, and live-tissue imaging applications. Water dipping objectives are designed to be directly immersed into physiological solutions, culture media, or artificial cerebrospinal fluid, enabling high-resolution imaging of living cells and tissues without the constraints of coverslips or mounting media. The Achroplan optical design provides achromatic correction suitable for brightfield and DIC imaging of biological specimens. At 20x magnification with 0.50 numerical aperture in water, this objective delivers excellent resolution for visualizing cellular structures, neuronal processes, and tissue architecture in living preparations. The 1.9mm working distance provides adequate clearance for imaging through solution while allowing room for micromanipulators, patch pipettes, and other experimental apparatus essential for electrophysiology and microinjection studies. The RMS thread mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of upright microscope platforms. Water dipping objectives are indispensable tools in neuroscience for brain slice imaging, developmental biology for embryo studies, and any application requiring high-resolution imaging of living specimens in aqueous media.
