High-quality Zeiss LD A-Plan 20x/0.30 phase contrast microscope objective for advanced microscopy.
The Zeiss LD A-Plan 20x/0.30 Ph1 microscope objective (model 1006-591) is a long-distance phase contrast objective lens designed for high-resolution imaging in optical microscopy. This objective features a 20x magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.30, optimized for phase contrast applications to enhance contrast in transparent biological specimens without staining.
Ideal for advanced biotechnology research, this objective supports live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and cell morphology studies critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Its long working distance facilitates imaging of thick or live samples, making it essential for neuroscience imaging and synthetic biology research requiring minimal specimen disturbance.
Key features include:
This objective is widely adopted in molecular biology and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, offering precise, clear imaging essential for gene editing and cell imaging research. The product is fully tested and operational, ensuring reliability for demanding research environments.
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.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options 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.
