10X Objective Lens – High-Precision Optics for Microscopy
What is a 10X Objective Lens?
A 10X objective lens is a key component in a microscope, providing moderate magnification for clear and detailed imaging. It is widely used in biological, medical, and industrial applications for specimen analysis.
10X Objective Lens Total Magnification
The total magnification of a microscope depends on both the objective lens and the ocular (eyepiece) lens. It is calculated as:
Total Magnification = Objective Lens Magnification × Ocular Lens Magnification
For a standard 10X objective lens with a 10X eyepiece lens:
- 10X Objective × 10X Ocular = 100X Total Magnification
10X Objective Lens in Microscopes
The 10X objective lens is one of the most commonly used lenses in compound microscopes. Features include:
- Medium Magnification: Ideal for viewing cell structures, tissues, and microorganisms.
- Wide Field of View: Provides a balanced image size and detail level.
- High Numerical Aperture (NA): Ensures better resolution and clarity.
The Working Distance for a 10X Objective Lens
The working distance is the space between the lens and the specimen when in focus. For a 10X objective lens:
- Standard working distance: 4mm – 10mm (varies by design).
- Longer working distances are available for specialized applications.
10X Objective Lens Function
- Intermediate Magnification: Bridges the gap between low (4X) and high (40X) magnifications.
- General Observation: Used for routine laboratory and clinical analysis.
- Optimized Light Collection: Captures sufficient light for bright, detailed imaging.
10X Ocular Lens and 10X Objective Lens – A Perfect Pair
Pairing a 10X eyepiece lens with a 10X objective lens provides 100X total magnification, making it ideal for studying cellular structures in moderate detail.
