High numerical aperture 40x oil immersion phase contrast objective with RMS 20mm thread for advanced microscopy.
The Zeiss Planapo 40x Oil Ph3 160/- microscope objective (Part No. 461747-9903) is a high-quality, oil immersion phase contrast lens designed for advanced light microscopy applications. This objective features a numerical aperture (NA) of 1.0, providing enhanced resolution and brightness essential for detailed cellular and subcellular imaging in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics.
Key technical specifications include:
This objective is widely used in biomedical engineering and biotechnology research fields, particularly in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and neuroimaging applications. It is critical for workflows requiring precise phase contrast visualization such as molecular cloning, cellular morphology studies, and synthetic biology research. The Planapo series by Zeiss is known for superior optical correction and flatness of field, making it indispensable in biopharmaceutical production pipelines that demand accurate and reproducible microscopy data.
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.
