Frequently asked questions
Is this objective compatible with my microscope?
Yes, this objective is specifically designed for use with Unico G500 Series Microscopes.
Is this objective brand new?
Yes, this objective is sold in Factory New Condition, ensuring high quality and reliability right out of the box.
Are these Plan Phase objectives used for viewing unstained specimens?
Yes, these are DIN Plan Phase Objectives specifically engineered for phase contrast microscopy, which is the technique required for viewing unstained, transparent specimens.
This capability is critical for laboratory work involving biological samples like living cells or unstained sections that would otherwise lack visible contrast under brightfield observation.
Key features of these objectives include:
- Plan Correction: The “Plan” design ensures excellent flat-field correction, delivering sharp, high-resolution clarity across the entire field of view.
- System Integration: They are built for precise optical alignment with the Unico G500 Series Microscopes.
- Magnification Range: Available in a full suite of powers: 10X (N.A. 0.25), 20X (N.A. 0.50), 40X (N.A. 0.65), and 100X (N.A. 1.25).
What objective magnifications are offered?
The Unico DIN Plan Phase Objectives are available in four standard, high-precision magnification options, providing the versatility needed for various phase contrast microscopy applications. These Plan configuration objectives correct for field curvature across the visual field.
The available variants, along with their high Numerical Apertures (N.A.), include:
- 10X (N.A. 0.25)
- 20X (N.A. 0.50)
- 40X (N.A. 0.65)
- 100X (N.A. 1.25)
These essential components are designed for high-resolution, contrast-enhanced viewing of unstained specimens and are specifically compatible with the Unico G500 Series Microscopes.
Who is the manufacturer of this objective?
This objective is manufactured by Unico.
What is the Numerical Aperture (N.A.) of the 10X objective?
The Unico DIN Plan Phase Objective - 10X has a numerical aperture of 0.25.
Which microscope series is the objective compatible with?
The Unico DIN Plan Phase Objective is specifically designed for use with the G500 Series Microscopes, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance for your laboratory applications.
Is the objective DIN standard compliant?
Yes, this objective is explicitly designated as a DIN Plan Phase Objective.
This means the objectives adhere to the dimensional standards of DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung), which ensures broad compatibility and consistent performance within the designated microscope platform. Furthermore, the “Plan” designation indicates that the optics provide correction for field curvature, yielding sharp, flat images across the viewing area.
Do these objectives feature plan correction?
Yes, these are DIN Plan Phase Objectives, which means they are specifically designed to deliver a high-quality image with a flat field of view.
The inclusion of “Plan” correction provides significant optical advantages:
- Corrects for Field Curvature: The image remains sharp and accurately focused across the entire viewing area, from the center to the periphery.
- Ensures Edge-to-Edge Clarity: This is critical for detailed analysis and high-quality image documentation in laboratory settings.
Additionally, the “Phase” designation highlights their primary function in phase contrast microscopy, which is necessary for observing transparent, unstained specimens.
Is this ideal for transparent specimens?
Yes, the Unico DIN Plan Phase Objective is specifically designed for phase contrast microscopy. This technique is crucial for laboratory work as it allows for the observation of transparent or unstained biological specimens (such as living cells) by enhancing contrast. The specialized Plan Phase configuration ensures high-resolution, contrast-enhanced viewing across the field.
