Zeiss LD EC Epiplan Neofluar 50X BD DIC Objective

The Zeiss LD EC Epiplan-Neofluar 50X 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. 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 ultra-long 9mm working distance—among the longest available for 50X 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 50X magnification and 0.55 numerical aperture, this objective provides excellent resolution for detailed examination, while the exceptional 9mm working distance provides unprecedented clearance for thick specimens, wafers, samples requiring extensive 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/open box condition, offering professional-grade multi-contrast performance with maximum working distance.
