Olympus FV1000 NEW Low Chromatic Aberration Objective, Improved Flatness and Resolution at 405 nm

New Objective with Low Chromatic Aberration Delivers World-Leading Imaging Performance.

NEW Low Chromatic Aberration Objective

Best Reliability for Colocalization Analysis

A new high NA oil-immersion objective minimizes chromatic aberration in the 405–650 nm region for enhanced imaging performance and image resolution at 405 nm. Delivers a high degree of correction for both lateral and axial chromatic aberration, for acquisition of 2D and 3D images with excellent and reliable accuracy, and improved colocalization analysis. The objective also compensates for chromatic aberration in the near infrared up to 850 nm.
