microscope objective bScope BS.8720 — 20× magnification, NA 0.40 (Euromex bScope series)

The microscope objective bScope BS.8720 is a 20× laboratory objective designed for life science microscopy, offering a compact optical solution with an 8.80 mm working distance and a numerical aperture optimised for medium‑to‑high resolution imaging

• 20× magnification for detailed imaging
• Numerical aperture 0.40 for improved resolution
• 8.80 mm working distance for sample clearance

Exceptional image detail from a compact optic

This objective delivers 20× magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.40, a combination that increases resolving power while maintaining brightness for most routine laboratory applications. The NA describes the light‑gathering ability of the lens; a higher NA improves contrast and fine‑detail resolution, which is particularly relevant when differentiating cellular structures or fine surface textures. The optical design balances contrast and depth of field so that users benefit from sharper images without excessive loss of focus plane, making the lens suitable where clear structural detail is required.

Practical working distance to protect samples and tools

With a working distance of 8.80 mm, the objective offers a usable gap between the front lens and the specimen, reducing the chance of accidental contact during focusing or micro‑manipulation. This clearance is useful when working with thicker mounts, cover slips or when using microtools adjacent to the specimen. The combination of the specified working distance and the objective’s optical parameters supports stable handling and repeatable positioning, which speeds up routine workflows and reduces downtime due to sample damage or re‑preparation.

Designed for reliable life science applications

Part of the bScope series from Euromex, the optical unit is specified in Life Science documentation and engineered for repeatable performance in laboratory environments. The lens construction and specification focus on delivering consistent imaging across sessions, promoting measurement reproducibility and dependable documentation of observations. For laboratories that require dependable optics without excessive complexity, this objective provides a straightforward solution that integrates into standard microscopy setups and supports common life science tasks.

FAQ

What magnification and numerical aperture does this objective offer?
The objective provides 20× magnification with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.40, giving a balance of resolution and brightness for many laboratory tasks.

How much working distance is available and why it matters?
The working distance is 8.80 mm, which creates physical clearance between the lens and the specimen to reduce the risk of contact during focusing or manipulation.

Is this objective suitable for life science microscopy?
Yes; the specification originates from life science documentation and the optic is intended for laboratory microscopy where medium‑to‑high resolution is required.

Does the objective include mounting accessories or a cover slip correction?
No mounting accessories are specified in the available data; the listing describes the optical parameters only.

Where can additional technical details be obtained?
Further technical information and clarification can be requested from Metav Werkzeuge; the product listing references the Life Science PDF (page 9) for the original specification.
