Leica N Plan 5x Ph0 Phase Contrast Microscope Objective 506090

The Leica N Plan 5x Ph0 Phase Contrast Microscope Objective (Model 506090) is a precision optical component designed for high-quality phase contrast microscopy applications. Featuring a magnification of 5x and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.12, this objective supports enhanced visualization of transparent specimens without staining, essential in *live-cell imaging*, *molecular diagnostics*, and *biotechnological research*.

Key technical specifications include:

• Phase contrast type: Ph0 (Phase ring 0) for phase contrast modalities
• Thread specification: M25 mounting thread enabling compatibility with Leica optical systems
• Utilized primarily in optical microscopy setups requiring detailed phase differential imaging
• High-quality optics ensure excellent image contrast and resolution for cellular and subcellular structures
• Widely adopted in synthetic biology and bioprocessing workflows where non-invasive sample observation is critical
• Tested for reliability and image clarity; in good used condition

This objective is critical for researchers focusing on applications such as biomedical engineering, cell biology studies, and fluorescence analysis enhancement via phase contrast techniques. Its robust construction and optical precision make it a valuable tool in scientific and clinical microscopy, particularly in biomanufacturing process monitoring and neuroscience research requiring precise phase contrast visualization.
