Product information
Product Name CFI Plan Apochromat 10XC Glyc Available from the end of November 2016
Product Concept
Biological research is advancing at an incredible rate with increasing cross-disciplinary collaborations, large-scale initiatives, and landmark discoveries. With these advances, the demand for microscope-based technologies that provide deeper, faster, higher-resolution imaging has been on the rapid rise. Especially, Deep-tissue imaging technologies such as multiphoton microscopy have been evolving to enable deeper imaging at higher resolution. Nikon’s new CFI Plan Apochromat 10XC Glyc objective not only provides deep imaging capabilities at high resolution but its low magnification also enables high throughput, deep-imaging applications.
Features
- Accommodates a wide range of refractive indicesThe CFI Plan Apochromat 10XC Glyc provides correction for a wide range of refractive indices, from 1.33 to 1.51, thereby enabling the use of a variety of immersion liquids including water, oil, and glycerin. Furthermore, CFI Plan Apochromat 10XC Glyc was designed to enable deep imaging of tissues cleared with the latest clearing agents.
- Achieving high transmission rates across a broad spectrum, from UV to near IRNikon’s highly acclaimed, proprietary, anti-reflective Nano Crystal Coat is utilized to achieve high transmission from UV to near IR wavelengths.
- Chromatic aberration reduction in broad wavelength rangeChromatic aberration of CFI Plan Apochromat 10XC Glyc has been corrected from 405nm to 1064nm. Because of the broad chromatic aberration correction, this lens is ideally suited for multiphoton imaging of thick samples such as brain tissue, which typically require longer wavelengths for imaging.
