Zeiss Objective LD LCI Plan-Apochromat 25x

The Zeiss LD LCI Plan-Apochromat 25x objective represents the ultimate combination of advanced optical technologies, delivering superior color correction, extended working distance, live-cell imaging capability, and multi-immersion versatility in a single premium objective. This objective combines the "LD" (Long Distance), "LCI" (Live Cell Imaging), and "Plan-Apochromat" designations to deliver exceptional performance across the most demanding microscopy applications. The plan apochromat optical design provides chromatic correction across three wavelengths and spherical aberration correction at two wavelengths, ensuring color-accurate, high-contrast images with minimal optical artifacts. At 25x magnification with 0.80 numerical aperture across all three immersion media, this objective delivers exceptional resolution approaching the theoretical limits of light microscopy. The 0.57mm working distance is significantly greater than standard high-NA objectives, providing valuable clearance for imaging through thick specimens or culture vessels while maintaining maximum resolution. The multi-immersion capability enables researchers to optimize imaging conditions by selecting oil, water, or glycerin to match specimen characteristics. The M27 thread mount ensures compatibility with Zeiss microscope systems. This objective is the ultimate tool for the most demanding live-cell imaging, confocal microscopy, and applications requiring the highest optical performance with experimental flexibility.
