185 Metal Copper Achromatic Optical Microscope Objective Lens

The 185 Metal Copper Achromatic Optical Microscope Objective Lens is a 10X magnification objective designed for use with biological and general-purpose microscopes.

Product Overview

The 185 Metal Copper Achromatic Optical Microscope Objective Lens is a 10X magnification objective designed for use with biological and general-purpose microscopes. It features a 16mm optical tube length and a 0.25 numerical aperture, providing clear, distortion-free imaging for routine inspection and educational use. The lens is constructed with a metal copper body and is compatible with standard 23mm diameter microscope tube fittings.

  • Magnification10X
  • Body MaterialMetal Copper
  • CorrectionAchromatic
  • ApplicationBiological, General Purpose

Key Benefits

  • 10X magnification provides a balanced view for general inspection and teaching tasks
  • 0.25 numerical aperture offers sufficient resolution for routine biological and material samples
  • 16mm optical tube length ensures compatibility with standard microscope bodies
  • Metal copper body provides durability and stable mechanical alignment
  • 23mm diameter fits standard microscope tube fittings without adapter requirements

Application Scenarios

  • Routine inspection of thin tissue sections or plant cells in a teaching laboratory
  • Daily quality checks of metal surface finishes or thin coatings in a production lab
  • Student use in high school or university biology labs for slide examination
  • Basic material analysis in a metallurgy or foundry quality control setting
  • Replacement for a damaged objective in a standard biological microscope

Who It Is For

  • Teaching laboratories in schools and universities
  • Clinical and veterinary labs performing basic sample checks
  • Quality control technicians in small-scale manufacturing or foundries
  • Students and educators in biology, materials science, and engineering
  • Microscope users requiring a durable, standard 10X objective for routine work

Problems It Solves

  • A damaged or missing objective lens halts inspection work without a direct replacement
  • Low-cost objectives with poor optical correction introduce chromatic aberration and blur
  • Incompatible tube diameters or lengths prevent mounting on existing microscopes
  • Plastic or low-grade metal bodies deform under repeated use or cleaning
  • Lack of standardization forces users to buy custom adapters or new stands

Technical Features

  • Achromatic optical correction reduces chromatic aberration at the 10X magnification
  • 10X magnification with 0.25 numerical aperture for consistent image clarity
  • 16mm optical tube length for compatibility with standard microscope bodies
  • 23mm diameter body fits standard microscope tube fittings without adapters
  • Metal copper construction resists deformation and maintains alignment under use

  • No option for different tube lengths or body materials beyond the stated metal copper
  • No coating options or special finishes provided in the source facts

Comparison With Other Options

Plastic objective lensThe metal copper body resists deformation from heat, cleaning, or repeated use, while plastic lenses may warp or crack.
Uncoated objective lensThe achromatic correction reduces color fringing, improving image clarity compared to uncorrected lenses.
Objective with 17mm tube lengthThe 16mm tube length ensures compatibility with standard microscopes; a 17mm lens may not fit without an adapter.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the microscope tube is clean and free of debris before mounting the objective
  • Align the objective with the tube and gently screw it in until snug; do not overtighten
  • Verify the lens is centered and focused after mounting by viewing a test slide
  • Clean the lens surface with lens paper and a mild solvent if needed; avoid abrasive materials
  • Store the objective in a dry, protected case when not in use to prevent dust and damage
Answers
