Olympus UPlanAPO 20x/0.70 RMS Thread Dry Microscope Objective Unit 11

The Olympus UPlanAPO 20x/0.70 is a high-quality dry microscope objective designed for precision optical microscopy applications in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. Featuring a 20x magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.70, it offers excellent resolution and contrast suitable for detailed cellular imaging and fluorescence analysis. This objective is part of Olympus’s UPlanAPO plan apochromatic series, optimized for flat field correction and chromatic aberration minimization across visible wavelengths, ensuring accurate color fidelity critical for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing research.

Key specifications and features include:

• RMS standard threading, allowing compatibility with a broad range of upright and inverted optical microscopes used in neuroscience and synthetic biology.
• Dry immersion type, avoiding the use of immersion oil, which is ideal for routine histology and live-cell imaging where non-invasive imaging is required.
• Thorough inspection and professional cleaning, with lubrication and verification of any adjustable mechanical components to ensure smooth operation and reliable performance.
• Essential for workflows demanding high numerical aperture optics in biomanufacturing quality control and molecular cloning workflows.

Widely adopted in research environments focused on gene editing and cell imaging, this Olympus objective supports precision microscopy required in advanced biotechnological analysis and clinical research settings.
