Product description

Leica HCX PL Fluotar 40x Ph2 microscope objective with 0.75 NA, phase contrast for biomedical imaging.

The Leica HCX PL Fluotar 40x Ph2 is a high-performance infinity-corrected microscope objective designed for phase contrast microscopy applications in life sciences and biomedical research. Featuring a magnification of 40x and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75, this objective enables high-resolution imaging critical for cell biology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics workflows.

Key specifications include:

  • Phase Contrast Type: Ph2 (Phase ring 2), optimized for enhanced contrast in transparent specimens without staining
  • Optical Design: Infinity-corrected optical system with a tube length correction collar for improved image clarity and reduced aberrations
  • Threading: M25 objective thread diameter compatible with standard Leica microscope nosepieces
  • Coverslip Thickness: Designed for use with 0.17 mm coverslips
  • Durability: Robust construction with spring-loaded function for secure mounting and consistent performance

This objective is suitable for advanced phase contrast microscopy important in synthetic biology, cellular imaging, and bioprocessing research, offering excellent image quality necessary for quantitative analysis and live-cell observations. Widely used within molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories, it supports detailed visualization of cellular structures in applications such as gene editing validation and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

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.
