Leica C Plan 100x Oil Immersion Phase Contrast Microscope Objective 506073

The Leica C Plan 100x Oil Ph3 506073 is a high-precision microscope objective designed for advanced phase contrast microscopy and live-cell imaging applications commonly used in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. It features:

• 100x magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 1.25, optimized for detailed resolution at high magnification
• Oil immersion design to enhance optical performance and resolution by reducing light refraction
• Phase contrast type Ph3, suited for transparent specimen visualization such as live cells and thin tissue sections, essential in cell imaging and synthetic biology research
• Infinity-corrected optical system with a cover glass thickness correction of 0.17 mm (∞/0.17), ensuring compatibility with modern Leica microscopes and enhancing image clarity
• Standard M25 thread for secure attachment
• Plan achromat correction to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations across the field of view

This objective is widely adopted in biomedical engineering, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where high-contrast imaging of unstained specimens is critical. Its robust optical design supports precise imaging needs in clinical diagnostics and bioprocessing labs, reinforcing Leica's standards for optical quality and durability.
