Zeiss 10x A-Plan Phase 1 negative phase contrast objective, 0.25 NA, 4.2mm WD, RMS thread.
The Zeiss A-Plan 10x Ph1 is a high-quality negative phase contrast microscope objective designed for advanced light microscopy applications. Featuring a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.25 and a working distance (WD) of 4.2 mm, this objective provides optimal phase contrast imaging for enhanced visualization of transparent biological specimens. The RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) thread ensures compatibility with standard light microscope turrets.
Key technical specifications include:
This objective is essential for researchers and scientists engaged in cell imaging, phase contrast microscopy, and biomedical engineering workflows. Widely adopted in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology research, it enhances contrast without staining, making it valuable for live-cell imaging and synthetic biology studies. The lens barrel exhibits minor cosmetic wear, but the optical elements remain in excellent condition, ensuring reliable performance in laboratory and clinical diagnostic settings.
Designed for integration with Zeiss microscope systems, this phase contrast objective supports precise observation of unstained, transparent samples—critical in bioprocessing analysis, gene editing research, and neuroimaging applications. It is a popular choice among molecular biology researchers requiring high-resolution phase contrast imaging to facilitate molecular cloning workflows and advanced biomanufacturing pipelines.
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.
