bScope BS.8710 microscope objective — 10x, NA 0.25

The bScope BS.8710 microscope objective is a mid‑power optical element designed for routine laboratory microscopy and life‑science inspection where balanced resolution and working distance are required.

• 10x magnification
• Numerical aperture 0.25
• Working distance 5.0 mm

Effective mid‑range magnification for routine inspection

The 10x magnification delivers a practical compromise between field of view and detail, making this objective suitable for general sample overview and documentation. With moderate enlargement, the lens enables efficient scanning of specimens while preserving context, which reduces the need for frequent objective changes. The balanced magnification supports a wide range of laboratory tasks from sample preparation checks to documentation, improving throughput in inspection workflows.

Balanced aperture for clear contrast and definable resolution

A numerical aperture of 0.25 determines both the resolving power and the light‑gathering capacity of the lens. In practical terms, the specified NA 0.25 improves image sharpness compared with lower‑aperture equivalents and permits finer detail to be discerned at mid magnification. Numerical aperture should be understood as a measure of the cone of light the objective accepts: higher values generally yield better resolution but narrower depth of field. The present aperture provides a useful trade‑off for clear, contrasty images without demanding specialised illumination.

Compact working distance for confined setups and higher stability

The working distance of 5.0 mm denotes the distance from the front lens to the focal plane and is important where space between objective and specimen is limited or where additional apparatus (such as micromanipulators or environmental chambers) is used. A short working distance like WD 5.0 mm promotes mechanical stability and reduces sensitivity to vibration for close‑focus tasks, though it requires careful handling to avoid contact with samples. Integration into existing microscope systems is straightforward when the optical and mechanical constraints are considered in planning.

Quality design and application context

Produced under the bScope series by Euromex, this objective is specified as 10x/0.25 and is referenced in the Life Science product documentation. The construction aims to combine dependable optical performance with straightforward use in laboratory environments. For users seeking predictable imaging performance at moderate magnifications, the lens represents a pragmatic solution that complements both educational and professional microscopy setups.

FAQ

What magnification does this objective provide?
The bScope BS.8710 provides 10x magnification, suitable for mid‑range inspection and documentation tasks.

How does the numerical aperture affect image quality?
The numerical aperture of 0.25 of the BS.8710 defines its resolving power and light collection; a higher NA improves resolution and contrast while narrowing depth of field.

Is the working distance sufficient for samples with coverslips or small devices?
The working distance of 5.0 mm is compact and appropriate for many benchtop and life‑science applications, though clearance should be verified for thick samples or additional hardware.

Can this objective be used for live cell observation?
This objective is specified for laboratory microscopy; the BS.8710's optical parameters support routine observation, but compatibility with live‑cell chambers depends on the chamber geometry and required clearance.

Where is the technical specification for the objective documented?
Technical details for the bScope BS.8710 are referenced in the Life Science PDF (page 9), which lists the 10x/0.25 PLPHi format and WD 5.0 mm.
