Zeiss EC Epiplan Apochromat 100X HD DIC Objective

The Zeiss EC Epiplan Apochromat 100X HD DIC represents the pinnacle of high-magnification objective design for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy, combining apochromatic correction, exceptional numerical aperture, and multi-contrast capability for the most demanding industrial and research applications. As part of Zeiss's premium EC (Extended Contrast) Epiplan Apochromat series, this objective delivers exceptional chromatic correction across an extended wavelength range, ensuring accurate color reproduction and minimal chromatic aberration when examining reflective specimens. The apochromatic optical design provides superior color fidelity compared to fluorite or achromat objectives, making it ideal for applications requiring precise color analysis and multi-wavelength imaging. The "HD DIC" designation indicates compatibility with Brightfield, Darkfield (HD - High Definition), and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) imaging modes, making this objective exceptionally versatile for revealing different types of surface features, defects, and microstructural details. With a high 100X magnification and exceptional 0.95 numerical aperture, this objective provides the maximum resolving power for detailed examination of the finest surface features, while the 0.21mm working distance accommodates standard specimens. The M27 thread ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio series microscopes, and the infinity-corrected optical design allows for the insertion of DIC prisms and other optical accessories. This objective is in new/open box condition, offering top-tier multi-contrast performance with apochromatic correction.
