Superior Optics for Confocal
Controlling the manufacturing and implementation of optics from raw materials all the way to complete microscope systems brings unparalleled optical quality and performance.
Complementary optical design means the confocal system, microscope, and objectives all are optimized and matched for superior quality and resolution.
Nikon’s CFI60 and 75 infinity corrected optical system has numerous options for magnifications, working distances, and immersion mediums, paired for use with an extremely wide variety of samples and specimen preparations.
Nano Crystal Coat for superior transmission
Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat is an anti-reflective coating consisting of ultra-fine crystalline particles. This forms a coarse structure that lowers the reflectance index, facilitating the passage of light through the lens rather than reflecting it, and thus providing superior light transmission.
CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda S 40XC Sil
This objective provides bright, high-resolution images, and is suitable for imaging of thick samples and long-term time-lapse imaging.
| Working distance: | 0.30mm |
|---|---|
| Numerical aperture: | 1.25 |
| Chromatic aberration correction: | from visible to UV |
| Nano Crystal Coat applied | ✔︎ |
CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda S 25XC Sil
This objective provides a high NA, large FOV and long working distance, and uses silicone oil with a refractive index approximating that of live cells as the immersion liquid. It enables clear observation even in the deeper regions of thick samples.
| Working distance: | 0.55mm |
|---|---|
| Numerical aperture: | 1.05 |
| Chromatic aberration correction: | from visible to UV |
| Nano Crystal Coat applied | ✔︎ |
CFI Apochromat LWD Lambda S 20XC WI
This highly versatile objective provides superior performance thanks to its high numerical aperture, wide field of view and long working distance.
| Working distance: | 0.95mm |
|---|---|
| Numerical aperture: | 0.95 |
| Chromatic aberration correction: | from visible to infrared |
| Nano Crystal Coat applied | ✔︎ |
CFI Apochromat LWD Lambda S 40XC WI
Its high NA for 40X water immersion objectives provides brighter and higher-resolution images and makes this lens ideal for confocal live cell imaging.
| Working distance: | 0.6mm |
|---|---|
| Numerical aperture: | 1.15 |
| Chromatic aberration correction: | from UV through to near IR |
| Nano Crystal Coat applied | ✔︎ |
