Planachromatic PLM 5x/0.14 LWD IOS Objective — Objective / lens with 10.8 mm working distance (Euromex)

A Planachromatic PLM 5x/0.14 LWD IOS objective designed for long‑working‑distance microscopy, ideal for samples that require clearance and inspection without a cover glass

• Planachromatic correction for flat field imaging
• 5× magnification for overview and documentation
• 0.14 numerical aperture for balanced resolution
• Long working distance of 10.8 mm for bulky samples

Reliable, flat‑field imaging for consistent inspections

The planachromatic design reduces field curvature so that a larger portion of the image remains sharp across the field; this provides a flat field that supports repeatable visual checks and image capture. With 5× magnification and a 0.14 NA, the lens offers a balance between resolution and depth of field, making it well suited for overview imaging and for measurements where even illumination and consistent focus are important. Such optical characteristics help to maintain throughput in production and quality‑control environments by reducing the need for frequent refocusing.

Clearances and handling simplified by a long working distance

A long working distance of 10.8 mm gives more room between the front lens and the specimen, which is advantageous when inspecting larger components or uneven surfaces and when additional tooling or lighting must be used. The absence of cover glass correction — without cover glass correction — indicates the objective is optimised for specimens presented without a coverslip, simplifying sample preparation for industrial parts and large samples. This combination reduces the risk of collision and eases handling during routine examinations.

What the numerical aperture means for everyday use

The numerical aperture (NA) determines how much light the lens collects and influences achievable detail. An NA of 0.14 provides moderate light‑gathering power and a comfortable depth of field for low‑magnification overview work, which supports stable focusing across uneven specimens. The IOS designation denotes an infinity‑corrected optical system compatible with standard microscope optical trains; this ensures the lens integrates with many common microscope stands and imaging setups while delivering predictable optical performance.

Precision supply and service that supports workshop efficiency

Components sourced through a precision partner reduce procurement complexity and support steady workshop operation.

FAQ

What sample types are best suited to this objective?
The objective is intended for specimens presented without a cover glass; bulky parts and uneven surfaces benefit from the Planachromatic PLM 5x/0.14 LWD IOS objective’s long working distance and flat‑field correction.

Can this lens be used for documentation and basic measurement tasks?
Yes, the combination of 5× magnification and 0.14 NA delivers sufficient detail and field uniformity for documentation and routine measurement in inspection workflows.

Is this objective compatible with standard microscope optical systems?
The IOS designation indicates an infinity‑corrected optical system, which is compatible with common microscope optical trains when mechanical mounting and tube length are matched.

What does 'without cover glass correction' imply for laboratory use?
It means the lens is not corrected for the optical thickness of a coverslip and is therefore optimised for samples observed directly without a cover glass.

Which SKU identifies this product for ordering?
The order reference is OX.8205 for the Euromex Planachromatic PLM 5x/0.14 LWD IOS objective
