Product description

Zeiss 40x LD Plan Achromat phase contrast microscope objective, RMS thread, 0.50 NA, WD 2.7mm for Primo series.

The Zeiss LD Plan Achromat 40x Phase Contrast Microscope Objective (Part No. 415500-1616) is designed for high-precision imaging in brightfield and phase contrast microscopy applications. Key technical specifications include:

  • Magnification: 40x
  • Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.50
  • Correction: Achromatic planar correction for color and field flatness
  • Phase Contrast designation: Ph2 (Phase ring 2) compatible for enhanced visualization of transparent specimens
  • Thread type: Standard RMS for universal mounting
  • Working Distance (WD): 2.7 mm at a cover glass thickness of 1.0 mm (∞/1.0 specification)
  • Compatibility: Optimized for Zeiss Primo series microscopes, particularly suited for live-cell imaging, histology, and cell biology workflows

This microscope objective is widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research environments requiring detailed phase contrast imaging to visualize live cells and other transparent biological samples without staining. Its achromatic design is critical for applications in synthetic biology and bioprocessing where precise optical correction enhances image fidelity during time-lapse and quantitative phase imaging.

The objective’s long working distance facilitates experimental versatility in biomedical engineering and biomanufacturing setups, enabling its use in complex sample preparations typical of gene editing and molecular cloning workflows. The reliable RMS thread ensures broad compatibility and ease of integration into standard laboratory microscopy systems.

Ideal for researchers engaging in fluorescence analysis and clinical diagnostics, this objective enables enhanced contrast and resolution necessary for advanced microscopy techniques in neuroscience and cell imaging domains.

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.
