Nikon's high-performance objectives are claimed to feature the highest-ever numerical apertures (NAs) for WI objectives and an ultra low refractive index Nano crystal coat.
This crystal coat is said to provide high transmission at a broad range of wavelengths.
This, combined with a wide field of view and long working distances of up to 2.0mm, make the new objectives ideal for deep image capture and high-resolution neuroscience applications.
High-contrast, high-resolution rapid image acquisition achieves less photobleaching and minimises damage to live cells.
