Product description

The Motic LM BD PL 20X/0.4 is a precision plan achromatic objective lens featuring darkfield contrast, optimized for the AE2000MET Series microscopes. Key technical specifications include:

  • Objective magnification: 20X
  • Numerical aperture (N.A.): 0.4, enabling moderate resolution and contrast suitable for cellular and tissue imaging
  • Working distance (WD): 7.3 mm, providing ample clearance ideal for live-cell imaging and sample manipulation
  • Objective type: Plan achromatic for flat field correction across visible wavelengths, delivering sharp and color-corrected images
  • Contrast technique: Darkfield, enhancing edge detection and contrast in transparent biological specimens, essential for applications like microbiology and clinical diagnostics
  • Mounting thread: M32 with a DIN 45mm standard objective mounting for secure fit on compatible instruments
  • Tube length: Infinity-corrected CCIS® optical system, allowing advanced modularity and compatibility with modern research-grade microscopes

This objective is essential for research in biotechnology fields such as molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biomedical engineering, where detailed visualization of unstained or weakly contrasted specimens is critical. Its darkfield optical design makes it widely adopted in live-cell imaging workflows and clinical microscopy applications, supporting precise morphological studies and bioprocessing analyses.

The combination of high-quality plan achromatic optics and darkfield contrast enhances visualization in neuroimaging, histology, and microbiological examinations, making this objective a relevant tool for multidisciplinary laboratories engaged in cutting-edge biological research.

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.
