Apochromat: Highest resolution lenses with highest correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations.
Requires coverslip prepared samples for viewing.
Fluorite: Universal objective lenses with moderate correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations.
Can be used for viewing coverslip samples or plastic vessels depending on Working Distances (WD).
Achromat: Cost efficient lenses with lower correction for chromatic and spherical aberrations.
Can be used for viewing coverslip samples or plastic vessels depending on Working Distances (WD).
CSC: Coverslip corrected for glass slide that use standard #1.5 coverslips.
LWD: Long working distance objective lens used to view samples through thicker vessels such as petri dishes, well plates, flasks, etc.
ELWD: Extra Long Working Distance condenser for samples that require longer working distances such as petri dishes, well plates and flasks. This condenser comes pre centered and pre-aligned.
HR: High Resolution condenser is used for samples with short working distance requirements such as glass slides. This condenser offers alignment controls for Kohler Illumination.
