0.8 mm 80x Infinity-Corrected Plan IOS Objective Brightfield Darkfield No Cover Glass Correction - Euromex

Benefit from high-resolution inspection in materials science thanks to 80x magnification, numerical aperture 0.8 and infinity-corrected optics that deliver sharp, flat images; order the Euromex Plan PLMi S80x/0.80 objective via Metav Werkzeuge or request technical advice from the consultants.

Plan PLMi S80x/0.80 — Infinity-corrected objective for bScope, 80x / NA 0.8

Plan PLMi S80x/0.80 is an objective lens designed for brightfield and darkfield inspection in bScope material-science applications

• Plan design for flat-field imaging
• Infinity-corrected optics (IOS)
• Brightfield and darkfield compatible
• Working distance 0.8 mm

Exceptional detail and contrast for material analysis

The lens offers 80x magnification combined with a numerical aperture of 0.8, producing higher resolution and improved light-gathering capacity compared with lower-NA objectives; this yields finer detail on fracture surfaces, phase boundaries and fine inclusions. The infinity-corrected optics ensure that the principal plane is maintained across the optical path, permitting straightforward insertion of intermediate components such as filters or polarising elements without degrading image quality. The design provides a measurable improvement in resolved detail, which is important when documenting microstructural features or performing metrology on polished samples.

Practical integration with bScope systems and sample workflows

With a working distance of 0.8 mm and no cover‑glass correction, the objective is optimised for direct inspection of material specimens where a cover slip is not used, for example metallographic mounts or etched surfaces. The short working distance supports close-focus imaging and stable illumination in both brightfield and darkfield modes, enabling contrast enhancement of surface topology and defects. Because the optical correction is tailored to the bScope series, mechanical and optical alignment is simplified, reducing setup time and improving throughput in routine laboratory or workshop inspections.

Consistent performance and dependable imaging results

The Plan form factor and matched optical correction produce a flat field across the image circle, reducing the need for post-processing and yielding reproducible results for documentation and comparison. The objective’s construction is suited to materials-science applications where repeatability and clarity matter; this supports reliable defect detection and measurement under controlled lighting conditions. Integration with standard microscope stands and illumination options is facilitated by the infinity design, allowing the lens to be used in varied inspection setups while maintaining optical fidelity.

FAQ

What magnification and aperture does this objective provide?
The Euromex Plan PLMi S80x/0.80 objective provides 80x magnification with a numerical aperture of 0.8, which supports high-resolution imaging for materials analysis.

Is this lens suitable for brightfield and darkfield techniques?
Yes, the objective is compatible with both brightfield and darkfield illumination and is specified for use in bScope material-science applications.

Can the objective be used with samples that do not have a cover glass?
The lens has no cover-glass correction, making the Plan PLMi S80x/0.80 particularly suitable for direct inspection of metallographic mounts and other specimens without a cover slip.

What does infinity-corrected mean for practical use?
Infinity-corrected optics allow intermediate optical components, such as filters or polarising modules, to be inserted into the optical path without altering the primary image correction; the Euromex objective’s IOS designation indicates this compatibility.
