Product Overview

The Zeiss Epiplan-Neofluar 20X BD DIC is a versatile multi-contrast objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring multiple observation techniques at mid-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 20X magnification and 0.50 numerical aperture, this objective provides excellent resolution for detailed examination while maintaining a useful field of view. 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.
