At the forefront of microscopy innovation lies the 50X infinite conjugated long working distance microscope objective lens, a versatile tool catering to a spectrum of disciplines including biomedical research, precision testing, and material analysis. Its unrivaled magnification capabilities enable crystal-clear visualization and high-resolution examination of minuscule biological and material structures. Designed to meet the diverse demands of modern science, this objective lens offers precise observation capabilities across various domains. Its infinite conjugate design enhances adaptability, seamlessly integrating with different microscopy systems and accessories to address diverse experimental needs. Serving professionals in biology, medicine, and materials science, this dynamic tool propels scientific research and technological advancements forward.

 

Specifications

  • Focal Length: 4mm
  • Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.65</span
  • Wavelength: 355-532nm
  • Field of View (FOV): Φ0.48mm
  • Working Distance: 10mm

 

Design Structure

Crafted with precision, the 50X microscope objective lens is engineered to correct for the NUV (Near Ultraviolet) band, catering to the requirements of near-ultraviolet lasers. Its NA of 0.65 facilitates an extended working distance of 10mm, providing flexibility for industrial processing applications. Achieving such a long working distance necessitates a meticulous design strategy, involving the manipulation of light angles through the front and back lens sets. Micro objectives with high NA and extended working distances often rely on specialized glass, resulting in a sophisticated structure compared to conventional microscope objectives.

Performance Evaluation

The evaluation of microscopic objective performance hinges on accurate measurements of dispersion spot radius and modulation transfer function (MTF). In this model, the RMS radius of the dispersion spot is finely tuned to 0.205μm (on the axis), 0.251μm (at 0.7 field of view), and 0.333μm (at 1 field of view). The MTF on the axis meets 2000 lp/mm, reaching the diffraction limit. Despite minor deviations off the axis due to minimal astigmatism and chromatic aberration, the MTF still achieves 1500 lp/mm, approaching the diffraction limit. With a single-point light source, the entire field of view meets the diffraction limit, ensuring exceptional imaging consistency.
