BioBlue.Lab BB.8810 microscope objective — 10x, NA 0.25 (Euromex)

The BioBlue.Lab BB.8810 is a microscope objective optimised for life‑science and educational microscopy, offering compact optics that support clear, repeatable results in routine laboratory workflows

• 10x optical magnification
• Numerical aperture 0.25 for resolution
• Working distance 2.04 mm for close focus
• Euromex BioBlue.Lab series quality

Consistent close‑up imaging for routine laboratory work

The BioBlue.Lab BB.8810 objective delivers tenfold magnification with design priorities aimed at reproducibility and ease of use in teaching labs and basic life‑science applications. The combination of numerical aperture 0.25 and consistent optical alignment supports improved contrast and detail compared with lower‑NA optics, which translates into fewer retakes and faster sample throughput. As a compact optical module from Euromex, the lens is engineered for dependable day‑to‑day performance when working with stained slides, fixed preparations and common live samples.

Why numerical aperture and working distance matter for results

A higher numerical aperture increases the objective's ability to gather light and resolve fine detail; at 0.25 this objective balances resolution and depth of field for many routine tasks. The specified working distance of 2.04 mm is short, enabling close focus on coverslipped specimens and thicker mounts; this benefits applications that require high lateral resolution but do not need large clearance between sample and front lens. Understanding these optical parameters helps select the correct lens for a given workflow and reduces time spent on iterative adjustments.

Designed to fit educational and life‑science setups

This lens is part of a series intended for microscopes used in classrooms and standard laboratory benches, where robustness and reproducibility are key. The optical performance described supports clear demonstration imaging and documentation, while the mechanical design prioritises repeatable positioning on common objective turrets. For technicians and instructors, the BB.8810 lens provides a reliable balance of magnification and usability, reducing interruptions in teaching sessions and routine analyses.

Practical integration and handling advantages

Integration into an existing microscope is straightforward when the optical specifications match the instrument's tube length and parfocal standards. The objective's attributes make it suitable for quick swapping between magnifications during sample inspection, and its specification sheet cites educational and life‑science sources for reference. For operations requiring predictable imaging without specialised objectives, this Euromex module offers a practical compromise of performance, handling and clear specification.

FAQ

What magnification does this objective provide?
The objective provides tenfold magnification; the Euromex BioBlue.Lab BB.8810 is specified as a 10x microscope objective (SKU BB.8810).

How close can the lens focus to the specimen?
The working distance is 2.04 mm, which allows close focus on coverslipped slides and thicker mounts while maintaining the specified optical performance of the BB.8810.

What does a numerical aperture of 0.25 mean for imaging?
A numerical aperture of 0.25 increases light collection and lateral resolution compared with lower‑NA objectives; in practical terms, this improves detail and contrast for routine laboratory samples when using the Euromex objective.

Is this objective suitable for teaching laboratories?
Yes, the BioBlue.Lab BB.8810 is designed for life‑science and educational microscopy, offering a robust balance of magnification, resolution and handling for classroom and bench use.

Can this objective be used for live‑cell observation?
The optical specification supports many standard live‑cell preparations, especially where short working distance and moderate magnification are appropriate; confirm compatibility with the microscope and sample mounting method before use.
