Product description

Nikon Hoffman Modulation Contrast Plan 10x objective lens, WD 10.5mm, M25 thread for advanced microscopy

The Nikon HMC Hoffman Modulation Contrast Plan 10x Objective Lens is designed for advanced microscopic imaging requiring enhanced contrast of transparent specimens. Key technical specifications include:

  • Magnification: 10x
  • Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.25
  • Working Distance (WD): 10.5 mm
  • Optical Design: Infinity-corrected (∞) system compatible
  • Thread Diameter: Standard M25, allowing integration with a broad range of Nikon microscopes
  • Contrast Method: Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC) for improved visualization of unstained, phase objects

This objective lens is widely used in cell imaging, live-cell microscopy, and biomedical research requiring label-free contrast enhancement. It is essential for molecular biology and biotechnology workflows where precise visualization of cellular structures is critical without fluorescent labeling. The Plan optics ensure a flat field for sharp focus across the image plane, benefiting applications in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.

Tested and verified to produce high-quality images, this HMC objective facilitates detailed visualization in microscopy setups prevalent in clinical diagnostics, bioprocessing research, and neuroscience studies. Its compatibility with Nikon's modular microscope systems makes it a robust choice for researchers requiring reliable optical performance in fluorescence analysis and biomanufacturing process development.

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.
