Euromex Plan PLMi 2/0.70 — Infinity‑corrected Objective for Materials Science (bScope)

A Euromex objective designed for materials science applications, offering Plan correction and an 11 mm working distance for reliable inspection without cover‑glass correction

• Plan-corrected flat field optics
• Numerical aperture 0.70 for resolution
• Working distance 11 mm for sample access
• Infinity-corrected IOS optical design

High‑resolution optics for accurate surface inspection

The Plan design delivers a flat field across the image plane, reducing curvature and keeping edges in focus at high magnification. With a 0.70 numerical aperture the objective enhances detail contrast and lateral resolution, which is essential when assessing microstructure or surface defects. The lens construction supports infinite-corrected optical systems, enabling modular microscope configurations and consistent image formation when used with the appropriate tube lens. These optical properties translate into measurable advantages: improved image fidelity for documentation and fewer artefacts during quantitative inspection.

Practical working distance that eases sample handling

An 11 mm working distance balances close focus with physical access to specimens, allowing manipulation of metallographic mounts, coated samples and small assemblies without risk of contact. The specification “without cover‑glass correction” indicates the lens is optimised for direct observation of unmounted or bulk samples common in materials laboratories, rather than routine biological slides. This reduces the need for intermediary preparation where a true surface view is required, speeding up inspection cycles and lowering preparation overhead.

Seamless integration into bScope setups and industrial workflows

Engineered for the bScope series, the objective follows the IOS optical convention used in modular inspection systems and is suitable for materials science microscopy where reproducibility matters. The optical choice supports standard camera attachments and trinocular heads when paired with the correct tube lens, allowing straightforward digitisation of results. For facilities consolidating equipment, this objective contributes to standardised inspection protocols and consistent measurement outcomes across multiple benches.

FAQ

What magnification and numerical aperture does this objective provide?
The Plan PLMi 2/0.70 objective offers 2x magnification and a 0.70 numerical aperture, providing enhanced detail resolution for materials inspection.

Is the lens suitable for routine metallographic samples without cover glass?
Yes. The objective is specified without cover‑glass correction, making it suitable for direct observation of metallographic mounts and bulk specimens in materials science.

Can the objective be used with other brands of microscopes or only with bScope systems?
The optics are designed for infinite‑corrected IOS configurations and are optimally paired with the bScope series; compatibility with other infinite systems depends on the tube lens and mechanical mount used.

Does the working distance allow for sample manipulation under the lens?
The 11 mm working distance provides practical access for small tools and probes during inspection, reducing the risk of contact with the specimen surface.

What advantage does the Plan correction give for industrial inspection?
Plan correction ensures a flat field across the image, which reduces edge distortion and improves measurement reliability when documenting surface structures.
