🔧 Product Description
The Zeiss LD C Epiplan Apochromat 100X DIC represents the pinnacle of reflected light objective design, combining apochromatic correction, long working distance, and specialized wavelength optimization for the most demanding industrial and research applications at high magnification. As part of Zeiss's premium LD C (Long Distance Corrected) 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. Optimized specifically for 405 nm wavelength, this objective is particularly well-suited for confocal microscopy, laser scanning applications, and specialized imaging techniques utilizing violet laser excitation. With a high 100X magnification and 0.75 numerical aperture, this objective provides outstanding resolution, while the long 4.0mm working distance provides ample clearance for thick specimens, wafers, samples requiring manipulation, and the insertion of DIC prisms or other optical accessories. The DIC compatibility enables Differential Interference Contrast imaging for enhanced visualization of surface topography and fine structural details. The M27 thread ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio series microscopes. This objective is in new/open box condition, offering top-tier performance for laboratories requiring the highest optical quality at high magnification with extended working distance.
