Plan stress-free PLPOLRi 5x/0.12 IOS objective — Reflected-light polarising objective for iScope, 15.5 mm working distance

A Plan stress-free PLPOLRi 5x/0.12 IOS objective engineered for polarised reflected-light inspection on iScope microscopes, providing low-birefringence optics and a 15.5 mm working distance for routine materials and surface analysis

• Plan, stress-free design for low birefringence
• 5× magnification with 0.12 numerical aperture
• 15.5 mm working distance for reflected-light work
• For iScope reflected-light polarising microscopy

High-contrast polarised imaging that improves defect detection

The objective delivers reliable polarised contrast through a plan, low-stress optical design that minimises internal birefringence and unwanted artefacts. With 5× magnification and a 0.12 numerical aperture, the lens balances lateral resolution and depth of field to reveal surface stresses, coating defects and anisotropic structures under reflected-light polarisation. The numerical aperture (NA) defines the objective’s light-gathering ability; a 0.12 NA gives a practical compromise between resolution and working tolerance, making the optical element suitable for inspection tasks where clear, reproducible polarised signals are essential.

Practical handling and installation for production environments

A 15.5 mm working distance enables comfortable sample access and the use of fixturing or probes without compromising image quality. The objective is supplied without cover glass correction, which deliberately optimises the optical path for reflected-light applications where samples are examined without a cover slip. Compatibility with the iScope series ensures straightforward mechanical integration and repeatable positioning in common reflected-light setups. These design choices reduce adjustment time on the inspection bench and support higher throughput in routine quality control.

Low-maintenance optics and application guidance for material analysis

The plan, stress-free construction reduces background noise in polarised images and therefore the need for repeated calibration, contributing to steady inspection results over time. The optical element is suited for industrial and laboratory uses such as metallography, solder-joint inspection and coating evaluation, where polarised reflected-light reveals structural or stress-related features.

FAQ

What is the intended application of this objective?
The Plan stress-free PLPOLRi 5x/0.12 IOS objective is intended for reflected-light polarising inspection such as surface stress analysis, coating checks and metallographic examinations using iScope systems.

Is this objective compatible with all iScope microscopes?
Compatibility is designed for the iScope model family; confirm mechanical mounting and optical port compatibility before ordering — reference IS.7905-R when enquiring.

Why is there no cover glass correction?
The objective is optimised for reflected-light work on unmounted samples, so no cover glass correction is applied to ensure correct focus and contrast when examining surfaces directly.

How does the plan, stress-free design benefit polarised imaging?
A plan, stress-free construction minimises internal birefringence and image artefacts, improving contrast and repeatability in polarised reflected-light observations.

What does the numerical aperture of 0.12 mean in practice?
An NA of 0.12 balances resolution and depth of field, providing adequate detail at 5× while allowing a practical working distance for fixtures and probes
