20x/0.25 Phase contrast microscope objective (RMS thread) for inverted IM series imaging.
The Zeiss F-LD 20x Ph1 160/2 460606 is a high-quality phase contrast microscope objective designed specifically for use with Zeiss inverted IM series microscopes. Featuring a 20x magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.25, this objective utilizes phase contrast optics to enhance visualization of transparent specimens, critical in cell imaging and live-cell analysis workflows within biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research.
Key technical specifications include:
This phase contrast objective is widely used in applications involving fluorescence microscopy, biomedical engineering, and synthetic biology, where improved contrast of unstained living cells is essential. Its design supports critical workflows in molecular cloning, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing pipelines by facilitating detailed cellular morphology studies and live-cell imaging. The objective has been tested to ensure excellent optical performance and image quality, making it suitable for advanced research environments requiring precise microscopy tools.
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.
