ServiceLD Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/1.0 opens up a new dimension of optical penetration
depth into cleared biological samples – particularly into the brains of mammals.
Look deeper into the tissue than ever before - up to six times deeper than witha conventional multiphoton microscope and up to 60 times deeper than withconventional laser scanning microscopy.
You will be impressed by the quality of structural information you retrieve,
even from the deepest layers: expect a big push forward, especially in basic
neurobiological research and mapping of neuron networks.

LD Plan-APOCHROMAT
20x/1.0
Ultra Deep Imaging for
Confocal Laser Scanning &LD Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/1.0 is optimized for the Scale method. Use this objective for both laser scanning and multiphoton
microscopy and you will appreciate how little hardware you need to set up for multi-fluorescence microscopy, for example you can even conduct spectral imaging.

Histological cutting procedures are a thing of the past with the LD Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/1.0. Reconstruct tissue elements
such as cell groups and cellular components more clearly, faster and more reliably in 3D. There’s no need to apply mechanicalcuts so you will avoid gaps that could impede or even prevent reconstruction.
The new LD Plan-APOCHROMAT 20x/1.0 is the convenient and cost-efficient upgrade for your Axio Examiner system. It only
takes the newly designed lens holder to make use of it on your existing system.
