Microscope Lens

Microscope lenses are optical components used in microscopes to magnify and focus the image of the specimen being observed. They are part of the supply class Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components And Accessories in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

Microscope lenses come in various types and specifications, including:

1. Objective lenses: These are the primary lenses located near the specimen. They provide the initial magnification and are available in different magnification powers (e.g., 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x). Objective lenses are typically interchangeable to allow for different levels of magnification.

2. Eyepiece lenses: Also known as ocular lenses, these are located at the top of the microscope and are used to further magnify the image produced by the objective lens. Eyepiece lenses are usually available in 10x magnification.

3. Condenser lenses: These lenses are positioned beneath the stage of the microscope and are used to focus and concentrate the light onto the specimen. They help improve the resolution and clarity of the image.

4. Immersion lenses: These specialized lenses are used with a liquid medium, such as oil or water, to increase the numerical aperture and improve the resolution of the microscope. Immersion lenses are commonly used in high-resolution microscopy techniques.

5. Planar lenses: These lenses are designed to correct for spherical aberration and provide a flat field of view. They are commonly used in advanced microscopy techniques where precise imaging is required.

6. Fluorescence lenses: These lenses are specifically designed for fluorescence microscopy, where fluorescent dyes are used to label specific structures or molecules within the specimen. Fluorescence lenses are optimized to capture and separate the emitted fluorescent light.

These are just a few examples of microscope lenses available in the supply class Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components And Accessories. The specific types and specifications may vary depending on the manufacturer and intended application.
