March 2010
Nikon has added the innovative CFI Apo LWD 25x objective to its series of low refractive index, high numerical aperture (NA) objectives. Employing Nikon’s ultra nano crystal coating technology, the new objective features high optical performance across the widest spectral wavelength with high chromatic corrections for sharp contrast imaging.

esigned and optimised specifically for neuroscience and similar applications, the Nikon CFI Apo LWD 25x not only features a wide 22 mm field of view and an unrivalled working distance of 2.0 mm, but also an extremely high NA of 1.1. In addition, a 33° approach angle on the lens provides easy access for micromanipulators. An adjustable correction ring reduces the effects of light scattering when imaging deep into specimens.

The CFI Apo LWD 25X offers the highest optical performance and transmission efficiency for deep image capture. Nikon’s nano crystal coating technology virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths extending from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near infrared (IR). Providing wide colour correction, ranging from violet (405 nm) to deep IR (950 nm), the new objective shows very high transmission from UV to deep IR wavelengths.
