Zeiss Plan Neofluar 1.25x Objective

The Zeiss Plan Neofluar 1.25x objective represents the absolute lowest magnification in professional microscopy, delivering the maximum possible field of view for comprehensive whole-specimen imaging and large-area survey applications. At 1.25x magnification, this objective captures vast specimen regions in a single field, enabling complete visualization of entire tissue sections, large biological specimens, or extensive material samples without the need for image stitching or stage repositioning. The Plan Neofluar optical design provides flat-field correction across the entire field of view, ensuring sharp, distortion-free images from center to edge—critical when imaging large areas where peripheral image quality is as important as central resolution. The low autofluorescence characteristics make this objective suitable for fluorescence imaging applications requiring maximum specimen coverage. The 0.035 numerical aperture provides adequate light-gathering capability while delivering exceptional depth of field for thick specimens and three-dimensional samples. The 3mm working distance accommodates standard microscope slides with coverslips. This ultra-low magnification objective is particularly valuable in pathology for whole-slide digital imaging, materials science for large-component inspection, and biological research requiring complete specimen documentation before detailed high-magnification analysis.
