Product description

High-resolution Leica HCX PL Fluotar 40x/0.75 polarizing microscope objective for advanced cell imaging and molecular diagnostics.

The Leica HCX PL Fluotar 40x Polarizing Microscope Objective (Model 556052) is designed for high-precision optical microscopy requiring polarization analysis. Featuring a magnification of 40x with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75, this objective supports infinity-corrected optical systems (∞/0.17/D) and is equipped with a standard M25 threading for secure mounting.

  • Optical Design: HCX (high contrast and correction) for improved image quality in fluorescence and brightfield applications
  • Polarizing Capability: Enables polarization contrast imaging essential in geological, materials science, and biological tissue studies
  • Compatibility: Suited for sophisticated Leica microscope systems widely utilized in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging
  • Condition: Used but fully tested to ensure excellent image clarity and optical performance

This objective is an essential component for researchers working in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows, offering precise optical characterization critical for synthetic biology research and biomedical engineering. Its polarizing feature is widely adopted in cell imaging applications requiring differentiation of anisotropic structures.

Accepted payment methods include PayPal, Credit Card, and University Purchase Orders.

Why Questpair exists

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
