Zeiss Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/0.60 Phase Contrast Microscope Objective 44 06 41

The Zeiss Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/0.60 Ph2 Microscope Objective 44 06 41 is a precision optical lens designed for high-resolution microscopy applications. Featuring a 20x magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.60, this dry objective supports phase contrast imaging with Phase ring 2 (Ph2), enhancing contrast in transparent biological samples. The Plan-APOCHROMAT designation ensures superior correction of spherical and chromatic aberrations over a wide spectral range, making it ideal for applications in cell imaging, neuroscience research, and biotechnology workflows demanding high optical fidelity.

Key technical features include:

This objective is widely adopted in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing environments where precise cellular visualization is critical. Its advanced optical design supports biomedical engineering research and fluorescence analysis setups that use phase contrast imaging as a complementary modality. The Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/0.60 Ph2 objective is essential for live-cell imaging systems requiring high contrast without staining, thereby preserving cellular viability during observation.

For optimal integration, verification of compatibility with microscope mounts is recommended. This objective represents a reliable component in high-end microscopy systems used across clinical diagnostics, biomanufacturing pipelines, and molecular biology laboratories.
