Condition: New other (see details)

Brand new and supplied in its original Olympus box. Carefully opened for documentation purposes only, the objective remains in pristine, unused condition. Ideal for researchers and cell biology labs requiring high-quality iPC phase contrast imaging on Olympus CKX or compatible inverted microscope systems.

Included:
• Olympus UPlanFL N 4x/0.13 iPC phase contrast objective
• Original Olympus box

The Olympus UPlanFL N 4x/0.13 iPC is a plan fluorite (semi-apochromatic), infinity-corrected microscope objective lens from Olympus (now Evident Scientific), part of the UPlanFL N series within the UIS2 optical system. The "iPC" designation indicates compatibility with Olympus's Integrated Phase Contrast system, which provides high-contrast views of transparent, unstained specimens at 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x without the need to exchange or re-centre the ring slit — streamlining live cell observation workflows.

The UPlanFL N series uses advanced plan fluorite optical elements to deliver superior flat-field correction, semi-apochromatic chromatic aberration correction, and excellent contrast and resolution. Multi-coated optics provide high signal-to-noise ratios across a broad spectral range from UV to NIR. These objectives are well-suited for brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, DIC, and darkfield microscopy techniques.
