Leica HC PL Fluotar 20x polarizing microscope objective, 0.50 NA, M25 thread, infinity-corrected for advanced imaging.
The Leica HC PL Fluotar 20x Pol Polarizing Objective (Model 556501) is an infinity-corrected microscope lens designed for polarizing microscopy applications. Featuring a 20x magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.50, it delivers high-contrast and sharp images suitable for detailed optical analysis. The objective has a 0.17 mm cover glass correction and utilizes an M25 thread for secure mounting on compatible Leica microscope systems. This lens is optimized for polarization-sensitive imaging in fields including biomedical engineering, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics, making it essential for workflows requiring precise birefringence and anisotropy visualization. Tested and validated for image quality, this Leica microscope objective supports advanced fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging when integrated into polarizing optical setups. Its reliable performance also benefits research in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing involving structural material characterization and cell morphology studies.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
