Achios‑X Observer AX.7720 microscope objective — 20x, 0.40 NA (Euromex)

Achios‑X Observer AX.7720 is a microscope objective designed for routine life‑science observation, offering 20x magnification with a 0.40 numerical aperture and a long working distance for straightforward sample handling

• 20x magnification with 0.40 NA
• Long working distance of 13.4 mm
• Part of Achios‑X Observer series

High‑performance imaging for dependable laboratory results

The Achios‑X Observer AX.7720 objective combines 20x magnification with a 0.40 numerical aperture, producing a balance of resolution and depth of field suited to general life‑science tasks. The numerical aperture is a direct indicator of light‑gathering ability and resolving power; a 0.40 NA yields improved contrast and detail compared with lower‑NA objectives while maintaining practical depth of focus. The optical design marked as PLPHi provides consistent centre‑to‑edge performance, meaning fewer adjustments are required during routine inspection. This stability translates to faster throughput in repetitive workflows and fewer retakes, supporting efficient use of instrument time.

Practical handling and compatibility for everyday microscopy

A 13.4 mm working distance enables comfortable access to samples and ancillary tools such as microtools or immersion media without compromising optical performance. The objective suits standard upright microscopes configured for life‑science observation and integrates smoothly into existing optical assemblies. For users less familiar with optical terminology: the working distance denotes the space between the front lens and the specimen at focus, and a longer value simplifies specimen manipulation and reduces the risk of contact damage. The construction and mounting are optimised for repeatable use in teaching labs, quality control benches and routine research applications, offering a pragmatic combination of usability and optical quality.
