The objective lens is the single most important element in any imaging device. The OS-15-N slide scanner features Nikon’s world-renowned, research-grade Plan Apo Lambda objectives. These objectives are a culmination of over 100 years of optical design experience. They combine Nikon’s propriety Nano Crystal Coat technology and incredibly high N.A., resulting in images with stunning clarity and detail. Furthermore, with Plan Apo correction, the industry’s highest level of aberration correction, true image reproduction with minimal distortion is guaranteed. With Nikon optics, edge-to-edge quantitation of image fields and maximum data throughput and reproducibility is achieved with every image.
