Zeiss LD EC Epiplan Neofluar 100X BD DIC Objective

The Zeiss LD EC Epiplan-Neofluar 100X BD DIC is a premium long working distance objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring exceptional working distance, multiple observation techniques, and superior optical quality at high magnification. As part of Zeiss's LD EC (Long Distance Extended Contrast) Epiplan-Neofluar series, this objective combines advanced Neofluar optical design with multi-contrast capability and an extra-long 4.1mm working distance—among the longest available for 100X magnification. The Neofluar optical formula provides enhanced chromatic 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 numerical aperture of 0.75, this objective provides outstanding resolution for detailed examination, while the exceptional 4.1mm working distance provides ample clearance for thick specimens, wafers, samples requiring manipulation, measurement tools, probes, and the insertion of DIC prisms or other optical accessories. The M27 thread ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio series microscopes. This objective is in new condition, offering professional-grade multi-contrast performance with maximum working distance at 100X magnification.
