Olympus 40x Hoffman Modulation Contrast objective with 0.55 NA, long working distance, for IX series microscopes.
The Olympus Hoffman Modulation Contrast Microscope Objective HMC 40x LWD LCA is a high-performance infinity-corrected objective designed for enhanced contrast imaging in live-cell and unstained sample observation. Featuring a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.55, it provides superior resolution essential for detailed cellular and subcellular visualization in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. The long working distance (LWD) facilitates manipulation and imaging of thick specimens or samples in specialized containers, optimizing workflows in bioprocessing and cell imaging applications. Key specifications include:
This objective is widely used among researchers focused on live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and molecular biology workflows, making it critical for applications such as gene editing validation and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The tested condition guarantees reliable optical performance, meeting the demands of advanced microscopy in research laboratories.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
