Product description

Nikon 40x LWD Hoffman modulation contrast objective, WD 2.1 mm, M25 thread, optimized for high-contrast imaging.

The Nikon HMC Hoffman Modulation Contrast Objective with 40x magnification is a precision optical component designed for advanced microscopy applications requiring enhanced contrast. Featuring a long working distance (WD) of 2.1 mm and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.55, this objective supports detailed visualization of semi-transparent specimens commonly studied in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Magnification: 40x
  • Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.55
  • Working Distance (WD): 2.1 mm
  • Infinity-corrected optics: ∞/0-2 correction collar for coverslip thickness adjustment
  • Mount type: M25 thread diameter
  • Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC) technology provides enhanced phase contrast imaging without staining, critical for live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and synthetic biology research.

This objective is widely used in biomedical engineering, cell imaging, and clinical diagnostics for its ability to improve image contrast of transparent samples, making it an essential part of high-resolution optical microscopy systems in research laboratories focused on gene editing workflows and bioprocessing studies. The component has been thoroughly tested and delivers sharp, high-quality images, facilitating detailed analysis in biomanufacturing and molecular biology applications.

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.
