Leica M165 C B Manuel D’Utilisation

To meet the various requirements regarding 
imaging properties, there is a choice of high-
quality interchangeable planachromatic and 
planapochromatic objectives and also lower-
priced interchangeable achromatic objectives.

 

★

Achromatic objectives are particularly 
suited for specimens with high-contrast 
structures. 

 

★

Flat-field (planachromatic) objectives are 
particularly well suited for studying flat 
objects such as wafers and thin sections.

 

★

With planapochromatic objectives, the 
finest structures are visible with high 
contrast. The sophisticated apochromatic 
correction allows these objectives to attain 
the highest color brilliance and fidelity.

Achromatic objectives
The 0.32×, 0.5×, 0.63×, 0.8×, 1×, 1.5×, 2× 
achromatic objectives offer countless variants 
for selecting the object field diameter, magnifi-
cation ranges and working distances (see page 
54). 

Planachromatic objective 1×
For the highest requirements for overall image 
quality, we recommend equipping the micro-
scope with the 1× plan (flat-field) objective, 
which returns sharp, contrast-rich object fields 
all the way to the border.

Achromatic objectives with a long focal 
length
For special applications, achromatic objectives 
with long working distances and focal lengths 
of f=100 mm to 400 mm are available.
