Achromatic Objective Lens Set 4X 40X 100X for Biological Microscope
Achromatic Objective Lens Set 4X 40X 100X for Biological Microscope
Biological Microscope Achromatic Objective Lens Set — 4X, 40X & 100X
Upgrade your microscopy work with this precision-engineered Achromatic Objective Lens Set, offering three magnification levels — 4X, 40X, and 100X — in a single convenient package. Designed with optical-grade achromatic glass elements, this lens set minimizes chromatic aberration and delivers sharp, high-contrast images with true color fidelity across all magnification levels. Whether you're a student, educator, lab technician, or hobbyist, these lenses are built to deliver reliable, consistent optical performance session after session.
Why Choose This Achromatic Objective Lens Set?
- Three Magnifications in One Set: 4X for broad field scanning, 40X for mid-range detail, and 100X for high-magnification immersion work — covering virtually every standard biological microscopy application.
- Achromatic Optical Design: Corrects chromatic and spherical aberration to produce clear, sharp, color-accurate images that reduce eye fatigue during extended viewing sessions.
- Durable Aluminum Construction: The precision-machined aluminum barrel provides a robust, lightweight housing that resists wear and maintains alignment over time.
- Standard RMS Thread Mount: Features the universal Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) thread standard, ensuring broad compatibility with most biological microscopes on the market.
- Available in 3 Color Options: Choose the finish that best matches your microscope or personal preference.
- Compact & Space-Efficient: Slim, lightweight profile stores easily and integrates seamlessly onto your microscope's revolving nosepiece without adding bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What microscopes are compatible with this achromatic objective lens set?
A: This achromatic objective lens set features a standard RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) thread mount, making it compatible with the vast majority of biological compound microscopes. If your microscope uses a standard nosepiece thread, these lenses should fit seamlessly.
Q: What is the difference between 4X, 40X, and 100X magnification objectives?
A: The 4X objective provides a wide field of view ideal for initial specimen scanning. The 40X objective offers detailed mid-range viewing for cellular structures. The 100X objective is an oil-immersion lens used for the highest magnification detail, such as viewing bacteria or fine cellular components.
Q: Why choose achromatic lenses over standard objectives?
A: Achromatic objective lenses are optically corrected to reduce chromatic aberration — the color fringing that can distort images with lower-quality lenses. This results in sharper, more accurate images with true color representation, making them a significant upgrade over basic uncorrected objectives.
Q: What material is the lens barrel made from?
A: The barrel of each lens is precision-machined from aluminum, providing a lightweight yet durable housing that maintains proper optical alignment and holds up well under regular laboratory or classroom use.
