Product Overview

The Zeiss Epiplan-Neofluar 20X BD is a versatile dual-contrast objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring both brightfield and darkfield observation techniques at mid-magnification. As part of Zeiss's renowned Epiplan-Neofluar series, this objective combines advanced Neofluar optical design with dual-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" designation indicates compatibility with both Brightfield and Darkfield imaging modes, making this objective versatile for revealing different types of surface features and defects. 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 optical accessories. This objective shows light use but features flawless optics, offering professional-grade dual-contrast performance.
