Zeiss LD A-Plan 32x/0.40 phase contrast microscope objective for high-resolution optical imaging.
The Zeiss LD A-Plan 32x/0.40 Ph1 microscope objective (model 1006-593) is a high-performance optical component designed specifically for phase contrast microscopy. It features a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.40 and 32x magnification, optimized for *long distance imaging* applications in biomedical engineering, live-cell imaging, and molecular diagnostics. This objective lens enables high-contrast visualization of transparent specimens without staining, essential for biotechnology workflows such as gene editing and cellular morphology studies. The phase 1 (Ph1) designation indicates compatibility with phase contrast systems to enhance image contrast for detailed fluorescence and brightfield microscopy in synthetic biology and bioprocessing research. Built to integrate seamlessly with optical microscopes, this lens supports critical biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring precise cellular analysis. The unit is fully tested, functional, and deployable for advanced microscopy applications in clinical diagnostics and cell imaging 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.
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.
