Zeiss Objective EC Epiplan-Neofluar 5x BD DIC M27

The Zeiss EC Epiplan-Neofluar 5X BD DIC is a versatile multi-contrast objective engineered specifically for reflected light (epi-illumination) microscopy applications requiring multiple observation techniques. As part of Zeiss's renowned EC (Extended Contrast) Epiplan-Neofluar series, this objective combines advanced Neofluar optical design with multi-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 achromat 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 5X magnification, this objective provides a wide field of view suitable for specimen overview, defect screening, and detailed examination, while the exceptionally long 14.5mm working distance provides ample clearance for thick specimens, wafers, samples requiring manipulation, and the insertion of DIC prisms or other optical accessories. The M27 thread ensures compatibility with modern Zeiss Axio series microscopes, and the infinity-corrected optical design allows for the insertion of optical accessories 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.
