Zeiss Plan Neofluar 10x Objective

The Zeiss Plan Neofluar 10x objective delivers an optimal balance between flat-field correction and fluorescence performance, making it a versatile choice for laboratories requiring both brightfield and fluorescence imaging capabilities. Plan Neofluar objectives feature improved chromatic correction compared to standard Plan objectives while maintaining low autofluorescence characteristics essential for fluorescence microscopy. At 10x magnification, this objective provides the ideal workhorse magnification for routine specimen examination, cell culture monitoring, and tissue section screening. The 0.30 numerical aperture delivers good light-gathering capability and adequate resolution for visualizing cellular structures and specimen details. The flat-field correction ensures sharp, distortion-free images across the entire field of view, essential for digital imaging and photomicrography where peripheral image quality is as important as central resolution. The 5.2mm working distance accommodates standard microscope slides with coverslips. The RMS thread mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of microscope platforms from multiple manufacturers. Plan Neofluar objectives are particularly valued in routine fluorescence applications including immunofluorescence, FISH, and GFP imaging where good optical performance and cost-effectiveness are both important considerations.
