Zeiss LD Epiplan 50x HD DIC Objective

The Zeiss LD Epiplan 50X HD DIC is a versatile long working distance objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring multiple observation techniques and extended working distance. As part of Zeiss's LD (Long Distance) Epiplan series, this objective combines high-magnification imaging with an exceptionally long 6.5mm working distance, making it ideal for examining thick specimens, wafers, and samples requiring manipulation or measurement. The "HD DIC" designation indicates compatibility with Brightfield, Darkfield (HD - High Definition), 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 0.50 numerical aperture, this objective provides excellent resolution for detailed examination of metal surfaces, semiconductors, and other reflective specimens, while the long working distance provides ample clearance for DIC prisms, polarizers, and other optical accessories. The infinity-corrected optical design ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio microscope systems and allows for the insertion of optical components without compromising image quality. This objective is in excellent condition with flawless optics, offering professional-grade multi-contrast performance for laboratories and quality control facilities using Zeiss Axio reflected light microscopes.
