Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 63x/1.4 Oil DIC Objective (NA 1.40, Infinity, M27)

The Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 63×/1.4 Oil DIC is one of the most widely used high-performance objectives in biological research — a benchmark objective for confocal, live-cell, and super-resolution microscopy. At 63× with NA 1.40, this objective provides the ideal combination of high magnification and maximum oil immersion NA for single-cell and subcellular imaging, delivering the resolution and fluorescence light collection required for the most demanding imaging applications. 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. The DIC compatibility enables high-contrast transmitted light imaging of living cells and unstained specimens alongside fluorescence, making this a truly versatile objective for comprehensive cell biology workflows. The 63× magnification is the preferred choice for many researchers over 60× on Zeiss systems, providing a slightly larger field of view at equivalent NA. This unit is offered in excellent, as-new condition — optically and mechanically indistinguishable from new — at a significant discount to the new list price of $8,600. Compatible with Zeiss Axiovert, Axioplan, Axio Observer, Axio Imager, and Axio Examiner microscopes with M27 thread nosepieces. Catalog number 420782-9900.
