HC PL FLUOTAR 10x/0.30 PH1 AIR
Leica
Model: HC PL FLUOTAR 10x/0.30 PH1
Magnification / NA: 10x/0.3
Immersion: Air
Correction: Plan Fluorite
Working distance: 11.0 mm
Product code: 506507
Installed: Yes
Specialties: phase, dic
Notes: The facility Leica DMRE getting-started record identifies the installed 10x as article 506507 with PH1. Independent exact-code specifications give an 11.0 mm working distance.
HC PL FLUOTAR 20x/0.50 PH2 AIR
Leica
Model: HC PL FLUOTAR 20x/0.50 PH2
Magnification / NA: 20x/0.5
Immersion: Air
Correction: Plan Fluorite
Working distance: 1.15 mm
Product code: 506506
AFC compatible: No
Installed: Yes
Specialties: phase, dic
Notes: Working distance verified against an exact 506506 facility technical specification.
PL FLUOTAR 40x/0.70 PH2 AIR
Leica
Model: PL FLUOTAR 40x/0.70 PH2
Magnification / NA: 40x/0.7
Immersion: Air
Correction: Plan Fluorite
Product code: 506014
AFC compatible: No
Installed: Yes
Specialties: phase, dic
Notes: The facility DMRE getting-started record labels this installed 506014 objective as Ph3, but independent exact-code listings identify 506014 as Ph2, and facility staff confirmed Ph2 on 28 September 2026. The getting-started record is in error on this point. Working distance remains unknown.
PL APO 63x/1.32 OIL PH3 OIL
Leica
Model: PL APO 63x/1.32 OIL PH3
Magnification / NA: 63x/1.32
Immersion: Oil
Correction: Plan Apochromat
Working distance: 0.07 mm
Product code: 506082
AFC compatible: No
Installed: Yes
Specialties: phase, dic
Notes: Working distance is 0.07 mm; 0.17 mm is the cover-glass specification and must not be used as WD.
PL FLUOTAR 100x/1.30 OIL PH3 OIL
Leica
Model: PL FLUOTAR 100x/1.30 OIL PH3
Magnification / NA: 100x/1.3
Immersion: Oil
