Olympus CKZ ULWCD 0.30 used with a Diagnostic Instruments PA1-10A

The Olympus CKZ ULWCD 0.30 is a specialized optical component designed for use in microscopy and other scientific applications. It typically refers to a type of ultra-long working distance, cover glass, and has a numerical aperture (NA) that allows for high-resolution imaging while maintaining a significant distance from the specimen. This component is valuable in fields such as biology and materials science where samples may be delicate or where physical contact with the microscope objective could damage the specimen. For specific details regarding its specifications or applications, you may want to consult the manufacturer's documentation or product specifications. The Olympus CKZ ULWCD 0.30 used with a Diagnostic Instruments PA1-10A is not a single instrument but a combination of microscope components used for imaging and documentation. Olympus CKZ ULWCD 0.30 The CKZ ULWCD 0.30 is an optical component for an Olympus CK-series inverted microscope. • CKZ: Indicates compatibility with the Olympus CK-series inverted microscopes. • ULWCD: Stands for Ultra Long Working Distance, meaning the objective is designed to focus through the bottom of culture vessels such as flasks, Petri dishes, and multi-well plates. • 0.30: Refers to the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective. An NA of 0.30 provides a balance between resolution, brightness, and depth of field. Typical applications include: • Cell culture observation • Tissue culture inspection • Live-cell imaging • Routine laboratory diagnostics and research Diagnostic Instruments PA1-10A The Diagnostic Instruments PA1-10A is a camera adapter (phototube adapter) rather than a diagnostic instrument itself. It mounts between the microscope and a camera to project the microscope image onto the camera sensor. It uses T-thread connections, allowing attachment of various scientific or DSLR cameras with the appropriate T-ring adapter. Different versions of the PA1-10A exist with either female or male T2 threads. Combined System When assembled together: • The Olympus CK-series microscope provides magnified viewing. • The CKZ ULWCD 0.30 objective produces the image while maintaining a long working distance for viewing specimens in culture vessels. • The Diagnostic Instruments PA1-10A transfers that image to a camera for photography, documentation, or digital analysis.
