Request InfoCarl Zeiss Microscopy LLCThe EC Epiplan-Neofluar series objectives for materials microscopy are available from Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH in H/DIC versions for bright-field and DIC applications as well as HD/DIC, dark-field and Pol versions for polarization-optical observation. The objectives can be used to analyze the structure of weakly reflecting objects like glass, coal and ceramics. For objects with submicron structures, all the image information is retained to the edge of the field. The objectives can eliminate false light from the near-UV to the near-IR, and a constant aperture enables homogeneous illumination to...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Mar/Apr 2024 IssueRed Microscopy LaserThe OBIS 640 XT from Coherent Corp. is a red diode-pumped solid-state laser module for super-resolution microscopy.
