What it is

The Olympus MPLN 100 X Microscope Objective Lens is a microscope objective lens for metrology and inspection use. The lens has 100x magnification and a numerical aperture of 0.90.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A microscope objective lens collects light from the sample and converts fine specimen detail into an enlarged optical image. High numerical aperture supports greater resolving power and better capture of small-scale contrast in inspection work.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Objective lenses sit at the microscope front end and work upstream of the eyepiece or camera path. The inspection result is then used for documentation, review, and measurement of the observed area.

Applications

The Olympus MPLN 100 X Microscope Objective Lens is used for metrology and inspection. The lens is suitable for materials science work and for use with reflected and transmitted light.[3][1]
