SP 40X/0.65, ∞/0.17, 40X Objective Lens, Microscope 408788

SP 40X/0.65, ∞/0.17, 40X Objective Lens, Microscope 408788 is a professional microscope objective designed for detailed optical inspection and routine laboratory work. Built around a 40X magnification level and a 0.65 numerical aperture, it supports clear viewing of fine structure in specimen analysis, education, and quality-focused microscopy tasks. The infinity-corrected ∞/0.17 designation makes it suitable for compatible microscope systems using a 0.17 cover glass setup.

Overview — 40X objective lens for microscope inspection

This objective lens solves the need for medium-to-high magnification when users must inspect smaller features without moving into the narrow field of very high-power observation. It is intended for microscopes that accept infinity-corrected objectives and for users who need a dependable 40X lens for routine viewing, sample review, and focused inspection workflows. In laboratory, academic, and technical environments, the SP 40X/0.65 lens supports detailed observation where image clarity and magnification matter.

Because the lens is identified with ∞/0.17, it is aimed at systems designed for infinity optics and 0.17 cover glass use. That makes it relevant for microscope owners replacing an existing objective or expanding a compatible optical setup with a dedicated 40X magnification option.

Key Features — 40X objective lens performance

• 40X Magnification: Provides a 40X viewing level for observing fine specimen details and structural features. This makes it well suited for tasks that require more detail than low-power objectives can provide.
• 0.65 Numerical Aperture: The 0.65 NA supports sharper image detail and improved light-gathering capability for microscopy work. This is an important optical specification for users who need dependable resolution in routine inspection.
• Infinity-Corrected Optics: The ∞/0.17 designation indicates compatibility with infinity-corrected microscope systems. This helps the objective integrate into optical setups designed around modern infinity optics.
• 0.17 Cover Glass Compatibility: The lens is specified for 0.17 cover glass use, which is a key compatibility point for microscope slide preparation and optical matching. Matching the cover glass specification helps support proper image performance.
• Microscope Replacement Part: Identified as Microscope 408788, it can serve as a replacement or additional objective in compatible microscope configurations. This is useful for users maintaining existing equipment or building a multi-objective setup.
