Zeiss PlasDIC LD A-Plan 20x/0.30 Objective | Catalog #444501
The Zeiss PlasDIC LD A-Plan 20x/0.30 (Catalog #444501) is a long working distance objective specifically designed for PlasDIC (Plastic-Compatible Differential Interference Contrast) imaging. With a 20x magnification and 0.30 numerical aperture, this objective is ideal for observing live cells and transparent specimens in plastic-bottom culture dishes, such as Petri dishes and multiwell plates. It combines excellent contrast, a flat field of view, and compatibility with low optical path thicknesses, making it a valuable tool for routine and research-grade live-cell applications.
