Parfocal Length 60mm Plan Infinite Biological Objective
The 60mm parfocal length plan infinite biological objective is designed for use with standard biological microscopes.

Product Overview
The 60mm parfocal length plan infinite biological objective is designed for use with standard biological microscopes. It provides consistent focus across magnifications, so the image remains in focus when switching between objectives. The series includes 4X to 100X magnifications with numerical apertures from 0.15 to 1.3, and a field of view of 25mm across all models. The 60mm parfocal length ensures compatibility with standard microscope bodies and allows for quick objective changes without refocusing.

Key Benefits
- 60mm parfocal length maintains focus when switching between objectives
- Plan infinite optical system delivers flat, high-contrast images across the field
- Numerical apertures from 0.15 to 1.3 support high resolution and light collection
- 25mm field of view (FN) ensures consistent field size across all magnifications
- Semiapochromat correction at 20X, 40X, 60X, and 100X reduces chromatic and spherical aberration
Application Scenarios
- Routine histology and cytology slide examination in clinical or research labs
- Microscopic inspection of tissue sections and cell cultures under varying magnifications
- Quality control in pharmaceutical or biotech labs where consistent focus is critical
- Teaching labs where students switch between objectives without refocusing
- Industrial inspection of small components with high optical clarity requirements
Who It Is For
- Clinical, veterinary and research laboratories
- Teaching and training labs in universities and schools
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology quality control departments
- Industrial inspection lines requiring consistent focus across magnifications
- Microscopy technicians performing routine slide analysis
Problems It Solves
- Changing objectives without refocusing disrupts workflow and increases inspection time
- Non-parfocal objectives require constant re-adjustment, increasing operator fatigue
- Poor optical correction leads to blurred edges and inaccurate measurements
- Inconsistent field of view across magnifications makes comparative analysis difficult
- Mismatched parfocal lengths prevent use across different microscope bodies
Technical Features
- Plan infinite optical system for flat, high-contrast imaging
- Semiapochromat correction at 20X, 40X, 60X, and 100X for reduced chromatic and spherical aberration
- 60mm parfocal length ensures focus retention when switching objectives
- 25mm field number (FN) provides consistent field of view across all magnifications
- Numerical aperture values from 0.15 to 1.3 support high resolution and light gathering

Comparison With Other Options
| Standard finite biological objective | The plan infinite system provides flatter image planes and better compatibility with camera systems and extended optical paths, reducing distortion at the edges. |
|---|---|
| Non-parfocal objective | The 60mm parfocal length ensures focus is maintained when switching objectives, reducing inspection time and operator error. |
| Objective with 16mm parfocal length | The 60mm length is designed for modern biological microscopes with longer tube lengths; it ensures compatibility with standard bodies and avoids mechanical interference. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope tube length is set to infinity for proper focus with the plan infinite objective
- Always switch objectives in order from lowest to highest magnification to maintain focus stability
- Use immersion oil only with the 100X objective; do not use oil with lower magnifications
- Clean the front lens with lens paper before and after use to prevent contamination
- Avoid touching the front element with fingers to prevent oil residue and scratches

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the parfocal length of this objective?
60mm. This ensures focus is maintained when switching between objectives on compatible microscopes.
Can I use this objective on a standard biological microscope?
Yes, provided the microscope supports plan infinite optics and has a 60mm parfocal length standard.
Is immersion oil required for the 100X objective?
Yes. The 100X objective requires immersion oil for proper numerical aperture and resolution.
What is the field of view for each magnification?
All models have a 25mm field number (FN), so the field of view is consistent across magnifications.
Are these objectives compatible with digital cameras?
Yes, the plan infinite design is optimized for use with digital imaging systems and camera adapters.
