PL-SAMi Plan Semi-Apochromatic Objective (10x/0.35) — 11 mm working distance, M26 mount (Euromex)

The PL-SAMi Plan Semi-Apochromatic Objective is a high-resolution microscope objective engineered for routine inspection and analytical imaging where stable focus and sample clearance are essential

• Plan semi-apochromatic optical correction
• 10x magnification, 0.35 numerical aperture
• 11 mm working distance for sample clearance
• 45 mm parfocal distance, M26 mounting thread

High-contrast, reliable imaging for routine inspection

The Plan semi-apochromatic correction offers improved field flatness and chromatic control compared with simple achromats, delivering sharper, more uniform images across the field of view. With 10x power combined with a 0.35 numerical aperture, the lens balances depth of field and resolution to render fine detail while maintaining practical illumination requirements. This makes the objective particularly suitable for quality control tasks and general laboratory observation where consistent image quality speeds up visual inspection and documentation.

Designed for accessible working space and effortless focus alignment

A working distance of 11 mm provides comfortable clearance between the lens and the specimen, enabling easier handling of uneven samples or thicker preparations. The absence of coverslip correction (no cover glass correction) simplifies use with specimens presented without a standard coverslip, reducing the risk of focus errors when switching sample types. The 45 mm parfocal distance ensures stable focus when changing objectives on a parfocal turret, so refocusing is minimised and workflow remains efficient. The objective’s M26 mounting thread conforms to common mounting standards and facilitates mechanical integration into many inspection and teaching microscopes.

Compatibility and practical application guidance

The lens is designed as an IOS BD objective and integrates into systems that accept an M26 mounted imaging element. It is well suited to routine brightfield inspection, educational microscopy and industrial process checks where robust, repeatable imaging is required rather than extreme magnification. Because of its optical correction and working distance, the objective supports tasks that demand both comfortable sample access and dependable image reproduction, helping to reduce inspection times and improve repeatability in daily workflows.

FAQ

What is the working distance of this objective?
The Euromex PL-SAMi 10x/0.35 objective has an 11 mm working distance, providing comfortable sample clearance for routine inspection.

Does the lens include coverslip correction?
No — the PL-SAMi objective is supplied without coverslip correction, which simplifies use with specimens presented without a cover glass.

Which mounting thread is required for installation?
The objective uses an M26 mounting thread and is compatible with systems that accept M26-mounted objectives.

How does the 0.35 numerical aperture affect imaging?
A 0.35 NA offers a balance between resolution and depth of field, delivering clear detail while maintaining manageable illumination for everyday inspection tasks.

Is the parfocal distance important for workflow?
Yes — the 45 mm parfocal distance helps preserve focus when switching objectives on a parfocal turret, reducing adjustment time and improving throughput.
