 Nikon Launches High NA, Long WD, Wide FOV Objective for Neuroscience
30 Jan 2010 Nikon has now added the innovative CFI Apo LWD 25X objective to its unique series of low refractive index, high numerical aperture (NA) objectives for use in biological applications. Employing Nikon’s exclusive ultra Nano-crystal coat technology, the new objective features high optical performance across the widest spectral wavelength with high chromatic corrections for sharp contrast imaging. This, combined with a high NA, wide field of view and long working distance make it ideal for neuroscience imaging. Neuroscience and other applications require a large field of view for studying samples such as brain slices and blood vessels. In addition, live specimens such as tissue demand a long working distance. A high NA is extremely important for high resolution imaging of neurons and their axons; furthermore, NAs higher than 1.0 are essent...
