Objective Lens

X Line UPLXAPO Series

Thanks to novel manufacturing technology, Olympus X Line UPLXAPO high-performance objectives offer improved optical performance in three
critical areas—a larger numerical aperture (NA), better image flatness, and a wider range of chromatic correction. These advances enable high-
quality, large field of view (FOV) imaging for versatility in numerous applications.

PLN (PLN-PH) Series UPLFLN (UPLFLN-PH) Series PLAPON Series

Appropriate for a range of biological These plan objectives provide flat images Designed for high resolution and
applications, these high-quality objectives with high transmission up to the near- contrast, plan apochromat objectives
offer flatness up to OFN 22 in transmitted infrared region of the spectrum. With reduce chromatic aberration to low
brightfield (phase contrast) observation. their high signal-to-noise ratio, high levels.
The PLN-PH series is designed for resolution, and high-contrast images,
phase contrast observation. the objectives are especially effective in
brightfield and Nomarski DIC observations.
The UPLFLN-PH series is optimized for
phase contrast observation.

 Group Observation Systems

Multi-head discussion systems are invaluable for lab training and education. Olympus offers discussion systems for as few as two or
as many as 26 people. With our BX3 series multi-discussion observation (MDO) system, every participant can see the same high-
quality image. The integrated LED arrow pointer helps instructors highlight key features in the teaching specimen.
