Product Overview

The Zeiss Epiplan-Neofluar 100X BD DIC is a premium multi-contrast objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring multiple observation techniques and exceptional optical quality at high magnification. As part of Zeiss's renowned Epiplan-Neofluar series, this objective combines advanced Neofluar optical design with multi-contrast capability, delivering superior chromatic correction, high contrast, and excellent flatness of field for industrial inspection, materials science, and metallurgical applications. The Neofluar optical formula provides enhanced color correction compared to standard objectives, ensuring accurate color reproduction and improved image quality when examining metal surfaces, semiconductors, and other reflective specimens. The "BD DIC" designation indicates compatibility with Brightfield, Darkfield, 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 0.90 numerical aperture, this objective provides outstanding resolution for detailed examination of fine surface features, while the 0.32mm 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 excellent condition with flawless optics, offering professional-grade multi-contrast performance at high magnification.
