Objective Lenses: By Olympus
Nosepiece turret can accommodate up to six objective lenses
What are the different objective types?
Objective Lenses
Apochromat: Highest resolution lenses with highest correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations. Requires coverslip prepared samples for viewing.
Fluorite: Universal objective lenses with moderate correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations. Can be used for viewing coverslip samples or plastic vessels depending on Working Distances (WD).
Achromat: Cost efficient lenses with lower correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations. Can be used for viewing coverslip samples or plastic vessels depending on Working Distances (WD).
CSC: Coverslip corrected for glass slide that use standard #1.5 coverslips.
LWD: Long working distance objective lens used to view samples through thicker vessels such as petri dishes, well plates, flasks, etc.
Condenser
Condensers can be used with brightfield and phase contrast objective lenses
Which condenser is right for you?
Condenser
ELWD: Extra Long Working Distance condenser for samples that require longer working distances such as petri dishes, well plates and flasks. This condenser comes pre centered and pre-aligned.
HR: High Resolution condenser is used for samples with short working distance requirements such as glass slides. This condenser offers alignment controls for Kohler Illumination.
Stage Inserts
No insert required for mulit-well plates
