Nikon Plan Fluor 40x 160/0.17 Microscope Objective with RMS Thread

The Nikon Plan Fluor 40x 160/0.17 microscope objective is designed for precision optical imaging in fluorescence microscopy and bright-field applications. Featuring a 40x magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75, this objective provides high-resolution imaging essential for cell biology, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology research. It is optimized for use with standard 160 mm tube length microscopes and coverslips with a thickness of 0.17 mm, ensuring optimal correction of spherical aberrations.

Key technical features include:

• Plan fluorite optics delivering sharp, flat-field images across the field of view, critical for fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging
• RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) standard thread compatibility, allowing integration with a wide range of Nikon and third-party microscopes
• Tested for performance on Nikon Labophot-2 microscopes, ensuring reliable photonic penetration and contrast essential in bioprocessing and biomedical engineering applications
• Robust mechanical components, including a well-functioning spring mechanism for smooth focusing adjustments

This objective is widely used among molecular biology and biotechnology researchers for applications in gene editing workflows, molecular cloning, and fluorescence-based assays. Its high optical clarity supports advanced imaging techniques necessary for cutting-edge biomedical diagnostics and biomanufacturing research pipelines.
