Olympus has introduced the new Mplapon series of plan apochromatic objectives, which provide a high level of chromatic aberration correction for materials imaging. Completing the UIS2 objective range, the objectives are available in 50x and 100x magnification. Developed to provide excellent brightfield imaging, including DIC, the Mplapon objectives feature numerical apperatures (N.A) of 0.95 and are fully compatible with active auto-focusing units. The high resolution capabilities of the objectives enable individual imaging and observation of points separated by only 0.35 µm. Furthermore, with unparalleled correction for chromatic aberrations over a broad wavelength range, these plan objectives provide exceptionally flat and accurately focused wide field images. Olympus has developed the new ‘wavefront aberration control' process and implemented it into the production of the objective range. These small aberrations, not visible to the human eye, can be quantitatively measured and therefore eliminated to produce high-quality objectives. These precision objectives enable strehl ratios of at least 95%.
