Motic CCIS® 40X Plan Achromatic Phase Contrast Objective LWD 0.50 NA, WD 3.0mm

The Motic CCIS® Plan achromatic Phase objective with 40X magnification is engineered for high-resolution phase contrast microscopy, essential for biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows requiring enhanced optical clarity and contrast. This long working distance (LWD) objective features a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.50 and a working distance (WD) of 3.0 mm, enabling effective imaging of live-cell cultures and thick specimens commonly encountered in cell imaging and synthetic biology research.

Key specifications include:

• Objective mounting thread: W 4/5"x1/36" (RMS standard), compatible with standard microscopy systems
• Objective type: Plan achromatic, offering flat field correction and color fidelity critical for fluorescence analysis and bioprocessing studies
• Objective tube length: Infinity CCIS® system, supporting superior optical path correction and flexible modularity
• Coverglass thickness correction: 1.1 mm, optimizing image accuracy in biomedical engineering applications
• Spring-loaded objective mechanism: Protects specimens and enhances ease of use during imaging
• Contrast technique: Positive phase contrast, ideal for live-cell imaging and transparent sample visualization, widely adopted in biopharmaceutical production pipelines
• Compatible with Motic AE31E and AE2000 microscope series, enabling integration into advanced microscopy platforms utilized in neuroimaging and molecular cloning workflows

The phase contrast capability combined with high numerical aperture makes this objective indispensable for researchers in clinical diagnostics, gene editing, and synthetic biology who require detailed visualization of unstained biological specimens. Backed by a 5-year mechanical and 1-year electrical warranty, it assures reliability for long-term laboratory use.
