What are the objective lenses on a microscopegive

When your in-house system is down or you simply want to expand your offerings and all you need is equipment, we’ll bring mobile MRI, PET, CT, ultrasound, ECHO, or nuclear medicine equipment, so you can offer these important imaging modalities to your patients.

Designed for clinical research and routine examination work in the laboratory, these achromat objectives provide the level of field flatness required for fluorescence, darkfield, and brightfield observation in transmitted light.

Many microscopes have several objective lenses that you can rotate the nosepiece to view the specimen at varying magnification powers. Usually, you will find multiple objective lenses on a microscope, consisting of 1.25X to 150X.

For relief contrast observation of living cells, including oocytes, in plastic vessels, our universal semi-apochromat objectives feature a long working distance. These also provide high image flatness and high transmission up to the near-infrared region.

Optimized for multiphoton excitation imaging, these objectives achieve high-resolution 3D imaging through fluorescence detection at a focal point of a large field of view. They enable high-precision imaging of biological specimens to a depth of up to 8 mm for in vivo and transparent samples.

To clean a microscope objective lens, first remove the objective lens and place it on a flat surface with the front lens facing up. Use a blower to remove any particles without touching the lens. Then fold a piece of lens paper into a narrow triangular shape. Moisten the pointed end of the paper with small amount of lens cleaner and place it on the lens. Wipe the lens in a spiral cleaning motion starting from the lens’ center to the edge. Check your work for any remaining residue with an eyepiece or loupe. If needed, repeat this wiping process with a new lens paper until the lens is clean. Important: never wipe a dry lens, and avoid using abrasive or lint cloths and facial or lab tissues. Doing so can scratch the lens surface. Find more tips on objective lens cleaning in our blog post, 6 Tips to Properly Clean Immersion Oil off Your Objectives.

Enabling tissue culture observation through bottles and dishes, these universal semi-apochromat objectives feature a long working distance and high contrast and resolution. Providing flat images and high transmission up to the NIR region, they are well suited for brightfield, DIC, and fluorescence observation.

The ocular lens is located at the top of the eyepiece tube where you position your eye during observation, while the objective lens is located closer to the sample. The ocular lens generally has a low magnification but works in combination with the objective lens to achieve greater magnification power. It magnifies the magnified image already captured by the objective lens. While the ocular lens focuses purely on magnification, the objective lens performs other functions, such as controlling the overall quality and clarity of the microscope image.

Designed for phase contrast observation of cell cultures in transmitted light, these achromat objectives combine field flatness and easy focusing with cost efficiency. They are well suited for routine microscopy demands.
