Are you interested in learning more about microscope objectives? Our foundational knowledge article on objective specifications provides an in-depth look at the information inscribed on the barrel of each objective, including magnification, numerical aperture, and more. Learn how to choose the right objective for your needs.

Anti-reflective coatings allow 99.5 percent of light to flow through the lens, compared to 92 percent for regular lenses.

AR lenses have  a specialized coating that is made of a microscopic layer of metal oxides that neutralize reflections, allowing it to minimize glare from the front and back surfaces of each lens. They aid in the transmission of light through the optical lens and into your eye.

Without an AR coating, lenses have noticeable glare, which means light reflects off their surfaces, limiting the quantity of light traveling through the lens. This can make your vision less clear and lower your ability to detect contrasts, especially at night.

Another advantage of AR coatings is that they make your glasses and eyes look better by nearly eliminating distracting reflections and glare that would otherwise bounce off your glasses.

When you have AR coatings on your lenses, driving at night becomes a lot easier. The halo effect around car lights is reduced considerably.

AR coatings can also help prevent eye fatigue and digital eye strain. Your eyes don’t have to work as hard to capture a quality image since they get more light.

Microscope objectives are precision optical systems that feature a wide range of magnifications, numerical apertures, immersion media, specialized contrast applications, and other properties. Information pertaining to the specifications of microscope objectives are inscribed on the decorative barrel by the manufacturer. This interactive tutorial examines the specifications found on typical objectives.

The tutorial initializes with an image of a ZEISS Plan Neofluar 63x objective in the window. Right to the objective image is an interactive text box that displays information about the objective when a particular region is activated. To operate the tutorial, click through the objective features step by step, selecting where possible. Below the objective image, you will see your selected objective configuration. This will help you to understand the options available and the codes used to categorize objectives.

Anti-reflective (AR) eyeglass lenses reduce glare and reflections that are distracting and affect how well you see. That’s why anti-reflective coatings are one of the most popular lens choices among people who wear glasses.
