Plan PLMi 10x/0.25 – Infinity-corrected Plan objective for bScope material science, 20.2 mm working distance (Euromex)

A Plan PLMi 10x/0.25 objective engineered for brightfield material science on bScope configurations, offering an extended working distance and no cover-glass correction for bulk sample inspection.

• Plan infinity-corrected 10x objective
• Numerical aperture 0.25 for crisp contrast
• 20.2 mm working distance for bulky samples
• Optimised for bScope brightfield applications

High‑precision optics for reliable material analysis

The optical design combines Plan correction with an infinity‑corrected tube system to deliver a flat field across the image plane and minimise edge aberrations. With 10x magnification and a 0.25 numerical aperture, the lens balances depth of field and resolution to reveal surface structure and micro‑features in metallographic and materials research. The absence of cover‑glass correction simplifies imaging of thicker or uneven samples, while the Plan design supports consistent results across the field of view.

Practical advantages for laboratory workflows

An extended working distance of 20.2 mm enables comfortable access to samples, fixtures and probes during inspection and enables imaging of components mounted in holders or under slight topography. The optical parameters are selected to improve contrast under brightfield illumination and to reduce the need for frequent refocusing when examining variable specimen heights. The objective’s specifications support reproducible results in routine quality control and documentation tasks, reducing cycle time for inspection runs.

Compatibility and straightforward integration

The lens is specified for bScope material science systems and is supplied by a recognised optics manufacturer, ensuring mechanical and optical compatibility with standard turret mounts and infinity‑corrected microscope tubes. The combination of Plan correction, infinity design and the specified working distance makes integration into existing brightfield setups uncomplicated, supporting both manual and semi‑automated inspection processes. For laboratories seeking predictable imaging performance, this objective offers a clear technical match to common materials‑analysis requirements.
