Product Overview

The Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 100×/1.4 Oil DIC RMS is the legacy RMS thread version of Zeiss’s definitive 100× biological objective — combining NA 1.40 oil immersion, plan apochromat correction, and DIC capability in the older RMS thread format. For labs running legacy Zeiss Axioskop, Axiovert, or Axioplan microscopes with RMS nosepieces, this objective delivers the full plan apochromat optical performance at a significant discount to the current M27 version. A free M27 adapter is available upon request, making this objective compatible with current Zeiss Axio series microscopes with M27 nosepieces as well — providing exceptional flexibility and value. At NA 1.40, this objective delivers the maximum resolution and fluorescence light collection available in oil immersion, making it the definitive choice for high-resolution confocal, TIRF, single-molecule, and super-resolution imaging. The DIC compatibility enables high-contrast transmitted light imaging of living cells and unstained specimens alongside fluorescence. This unit is offered in excellent condition with flawless optics at a significant discount to the list price of $5,800. Catalog number 440782-9902.
