Olympus UPlanAPO 40x/1.00 Oil Immersion Iris Aperture Microscope Objective (Infinity-Corrected)

The Olympus UPlanAPO 40x/1.00 Oil Iris Objective is a high-performance apochromatic microscope objective specifically designed for advanced imaging applications requiring superior optical correction and resolution. Key features include:

• Magnification: 40x objective lens for detailed cellular and subcellular visualization
• Numerical Aperture (NA): 1.00 oil immersion for enhanced resolution and brightness critical in fluorescence microscopy and live-cell imaging
• Thread Standard: RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) threaded mount, compatible with a wide range of Olympus and universal microscope models
• Optical Correction: Apochromatic design (UPlanAPO) minimizes chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring accurate color rendition and sharp focus across the field
• Immersion Medium: Oil immersion lens requiring immersion oil to achieve maximum resolution, essential for applications in molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics
• Iris Aperture: Adjustable iris diaphragm enables control of contrast and resolution, beneficial for techniques such as Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy (requires compatible condenser slide)
• Compatibility: Infinity corrected optical system matches modern microscopes for improved image clarity and modular system configurations
• Quality Assurance: Each used objective is professionally cleaned, inspected, lubricated if spring-loaded, and tested to confirm optimal mechanical and optical performance

This objective is widely used in biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows, supporting critical imaging tasks from gene editing validation to bioprocess monitoring. Its compatibility with DIC microscopy makes it a vital tool in neuroscience and biomedical engineering applications requiring enhanced contrast in transparent specimens.

Researchers and laboratory professionals seeking precise high-resolution microscopy lenses for live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis will find the Olympus UPlanAPO 40x/1.00 Oil Iris objective indispensable for detailed observation in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and cell imaging studies.
