Microscope Objective HC PL APO 100x/1,40 OIL CS2

Within the class of apochromats, Leica offers PL APO lenses especially designed to match the highest specifications for confocal scanning (CS). The latest PL APO CS2 series was further improved over the previous CS series. The chromatic correction of the new Leica CS2 objectives is perfect over the whole field of view for precise colocalization of different fluorophores. In addition, numerical aperture and free working distance are pushed to new limits. The design of the Leica CS2 objectives goes hand in hand with the innovative UV optics of the Leica SP8, and the STELLARIS platform to give the most stable UV color correction. For aberration-free imaging in aqueous samples such as living cells, Leica Microsystems has developed a series of superior high-resolution water immersion objectives. For the best imaging results, these objectives require a correction collar to adapt the optics to varying coverglass thickness, changing temperature, and specimen inhomogeneity.

Manual adjustment of the correction collar requires time and experience, and is challenging when access to the objective is obstructed by additional equipment. The motorized correction of the Leica motCORRTM objectives simplifies adjustment of the correction collar and reduces training effort. Remote control of the Leica motCORRTM quickly adjusts the optics without disturbing the specimen.
