Product description

The Nikon Plan 20x 160/0.17 microscope objective lens is designed for precise optical microscopy applications, featuring a 20x magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.50. It utilizes a 160 mm mechanical tube length and coverslip thickness correction of 0.17 mm, optimized for use on Nikon Labophot and Optiphot microscope series. The objective employs a standard RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) thread, facilitating broad compatibility with various microscope stands.

Key technical features include:

  • Plan achromat design for a flat field of view and minimal distortion, essential in fields such as cell imaging and molecular diagnostics.
  • Suitable for biotechnology applications requiring detailed visualization in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
  • Tested for optical performance ensuring sharp and clear image quality despite exterior cosmetic wear.
  • Compatible with fluorescence analysis setups where high-resolution and consistent correction of spherical aberrations are critical.

This objective is widely used in biomedical engineering research, providing reliable magnification for bioprocessing and gene editing studies that demand precise cellular-level imaging. This Nikon Plan objective facilitates advanced live-cell imaging applications and is important for laboratories implementing biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring meticulous microscopy components.

Payment options include PayPal, Credit Card, and University or Corporate Purchase Orders, supporting streamlined procurement for research institutions.

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.
