bScope BS.7160 microscope objective — 60x, NA 0.85 by Euromex

The bScope BS.7160 is a high-magnification microscope objective designed for life science and educational microscopy, offering 60x power combined with a 0.20 mm working distance for fine-detail imaging.

• 60x magnification for detailed observation
• Numerical aperture 0.85 for high resolution
• 0.20 mm working distance for close-range imaging
• Part of the bScope series by Euromex

Exceptional resolving power for demanding imaging tasks

The combination of 60x magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.85 delivers noticeable improvements in resolution and light collection compared with lower-NA optics. Higher NA increases the objective’s ability to distinguish close features and enhances contrast under transmitted-light techniques, which makes this objective particularly valuable for detailed cell morphology, stained specimen work and advanced student laboratory tasks. The optical performance is optimised to produce sharper images with improved structural clarity, enabling more reliable visual analysis in both routine and investigative workflows.

Precise close-range operation with a short working distance

A 0.20 mm working distance means the front lens sits very close to the specimen plane, which is a deliberate design choice to achieve the maximum resolving capability of the lens. This proximity improves numerical aperture performance and image fidelity, but it also requires careful sample preparation and stage handling. For thin or mounted specimens and cover-glass preparations, the short working distance is an advantage: the objective delivers greater detail without the need for excessive illumination, while preserving optical contrast and reducing spherical aberration when used under appropriate mounting conditions.

Easy integration into educational and laboratory setups

Belonging to the bScope model series, this microscope objective is suitable for microscopy setups in teaching laboratories and life science benches where high magnification is required. The objective’s specification is documented in the manufacturer literature, making selection straightforward for procurement and inventory. Users benefit from consistent optical performance across the series, which simplifies curriculum planning and workflow standardisation in multi-user environments. The balanced design supports routine use while maintaining the precision expected in laboratory contexts.

Who benefits and when to check specifications

This objective is aimed at educators, laboratory technicians and researchers who require enhanced optical detail for observation and documentation. It is particularly useful for applications where structural detail and contrast are decisive factors. If there is any uncertainty about compatibility with a particular microscope stand, condenser or imaging system, consult the product literature or request further technical clarification; the objective’s core specifications—60x, NA 0.85 and 0.20 mm working distance—should be compared with the existing optical train to ensure optimal performance.

FAQ

What level of magnification does this objective provide?
The Euromex bScope BS.7160 microscope objective (SKU BS.7160) provides 60x magnification, suitable for detailed inspection of prepared slides and fine structural analysis.

How does the numerical aperture affect image quality?
The numerical aperture of 0.85 of the bScope BS.7160 increases resolution and light-gathering capacity, improving contrast and the ability to resolve closely spaced features during observation.

Is the short working distance a limitation for certain samples?
The 0.20 mm working distance of the Euromex bScope BS.7160 is ideal for thin, cover-glass-mounted specimens; for thicker samples or non-standard mounts, compatibility with the microscope’s stage and condenser should be checked.

Can this objective be used in teaching laboratories?
Yes, the bScope BS.7160 is designed to support life science and educational microscopy where higher magnification and resolution are required, making it suitable for advanced teaching and training settings.

Where can one find the official specifications for verification?
Manufacturer literature lists the objective’s core values—60x, NA 0.85, WD 0.20 mm—and the details are referenced in the Euromex product documentation cited in the specification sources.
