Mikroskopobjektiv 86.552 — Euromex 10× microscope objective, NA 0.35

Mikroskopobjektiv 86.552 is a 10× microscope objective intended for laboratory and educational microscopes, delivering mid-range magnification with a short working distance suitable for detailed surface and cellular observation.

• 10× magnification for clear mid-range detail
• Numerical aperture 0.35 for improved resolution
• Working distance 2.9 mm for close-up observation
• PLFi optical designation for corrected imaging

Precise mid-range imaging that improves observable detail

The 10× setting offers a balanced step between low- and high-power objectives, enabling reliable overview images with enough detail for many routine inspections. The numerical aperture 0.35 directly influences light-gathering ability and resolution, so this objective provides sharper contrast and finer detail than lower-NA alternatives. For users unfamiliar with the term: a higher numerical aperture typically means better capacity to resolve small structures, which makes this item suitable where clearer detail at intermediate magnification is required.

Close working distance made usable without sacrificing clarity

A working distance of 2.9 mm denotes the space between the objective front lens and the specimen at focus. This short distance is ideal for fine-surface work and thin preparations but requires careful sample handling and stage setup. The optical design minimises aberrations at this proximity so that surface features and near-surface structures remain well defined. For educational or routine laboratory tasks, the combination of compact working distance and corrected optics enables detailed observation of slides and small assemblies while maintaining comfortable manipulation workflows.

Practical specification and compatibility for microscope setups

Marked with the PLFi designation and produced by Euromex, this objective fits typical microscope turret systems and complements sets of standard objectives for combined use. The specification sheet cites the core optical values that determine suitability for transmitted-light applications and many routine contrast techniques. As a straightforward, data-led component, it integrates into inspection benches and teaching rigs where consistent, repeatable optical performance is needed, supporting a predictable imaging chain across different microscopes.

FAQ

What magnification and resolving capability does this objective offer?
The Mikroskopobjektiv 86.552 provides 10× magnification with a numerical aperture of 0.35, which improves light collection and resolution compared with lower-NA objectives, enabling clearer mid-range detail for routine microscopy.

Which microscope systems is the objective compatible with?
This Euromex microscope objective is intended for standard turret-mounted microscopes used in laboratories and teaching, designed to integrate into common optical assemblies alongside other objectives.

Is the short working distance suitable for sample manipulation?
The working distance of 2.9 mm supports close observation of thin specimens and surface detail but requires careful stage control and gentle handling to avoid contact between objective and sample.

What does the PLFi designation indicate about the optical design?
The PLFi marking denotes the specific optical correction and design used by the manufacturer; further technical particulars are listed in the Life Science PDF referenced for the product.
