The Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 100×/1.4 Oil Immersion Objective (RMS) is the legacy RMS thread, non-DIC version of Zeiss’s flagship 100× plan apochromat — delivering NA 1.40 oil immersion with full plan apochromat correction for older Zeiss microscopes with RMS nosepieces including Axioskop, Axiovert, and Axioplan series. Offered here new/open box at significant savings versus the list price.

KEY FEATURES

  • NA 1.40 oil immersion — maximum available — the highest numerical aperture achievable in oil immersion, delivering the ultimate resolution and fluorescence light collection for TIRF, single-molecule, super-resolution, and confocal imaging at 100×
  • Plan apochromat correction — Zeiss’s highest level of chromatic and spherical aberration correction for accurate multi-channel fluorescence co-localization and brilliant flat-field imaging across the full visible spectrum
  • Standard version — no DIC — catalog 440780 is the non-DIC version of the Plan-Apochromat 100×/1.4; the DIC version is catalog 440782. Suitable for fluorescence, brightfield, and phase contrast imaging workflows that do not require DIC
  • RMS thread mount — legacy Zeiss RMS format, compatible with older Zeiss Axioskop, Axiovert, and Axioplan series microscopes with RMS nosepieces; not compatible with current M27 nosepieces without an adapter
  • 🇩🇪 Zeiss quality, made in Germany — precision optical construction for consistent, high-efficiency light transmission and long service life
  • Condition: New / open box — catalog number 440780

Product Overview

The Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 100×/1.4 Oil RMS (catalog 440780) is the standard non-DIC version of Zeiss’s benchmark 100× plan apochromat objective in the legacy RMS thread format. For labs running Zeiss Axioskop, Axiovert, or Axioplan microscopes with RMS nosepieces, this objective delivers the full plan apochromat optical performance — NA 1.40 oil immersion, flat-field correction, and apochromat chromatic registration across all fluorescence channels — in new/open box condition at a significant discount to the current list price. 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 on compatible Zeiss systems. The plan apochromat correction ensures accurate chromatic registration across all fluorescence channels, essential for multi-color co-localization, FRET, and any imaging workflow where chromatic shift between channels would compromise data integrity. Note: this is the standard version without DIC capability (catalog 440780); the DIC version is catalog 440782. Supplied new/open box at a significant discount to the list price of $4,800. Catalog number 440780.
