ZEISS PLAN APOCHROMAT 20X OBJECTIVE

Achieve superior color correction and exceptional high-resolution imaging with this premium apochromatic objective, featuring:

  • 🌈 Plan apochromat design for best-in-class color correction across the visible spectrum
  • 🔬 20x magnification with 0.80 numerical aperture for high-resolution imaging
  • 📏 0.55mm working distance for standard preparations
  • 🔧 M27 thread mount for Zeiss infinity-corrected microscope systems
  • ✨ New/open box condition with pristine optical performance

🔧 Product Description

The Zeiss Plan Apochromat 20x objective represents the pinnacle of optical correction technology, delivering superior chromatic and spherical aberration correction for the most demanding high-resolution imaging applications. Plan apochromat objectives correct for chromatic aberration across three wavelengths (red, green, blue) and spherical aberration at two wavelengths, ensuring color-accurate, high-contrast images with minimal optical artifacts. This level of correction is essential for critical color imaging, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, and applications where faithful color reproduction is paramount. At 20x magnification with 0.80 numerical aperture, this objective delivers exceptional resolution and light-gathering capability for visualizing fine cellular structures, subcellular organelles, and detailed specimen features. The high NA enables superior resolution approaching the theoretical limits of light microscopy, making this objective ideal for demanding research applications. The 0.55mm working distance accommodates standard microscope slides with #1.5 coverslips. The M27 thread mount ensures compatibility with Zeiss Axio and other infinity-corrected platforms. Plan apochromat objectives are the preferred choice for color-critical applications including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, multi-color fluorescence imaging, and high-resolution digital photomicrography where accurate color representation and maximum resolution are essential.
