AmScope 60X Plan Achromatic Objective Lens with Knurled Ring

I purchased this item for my boss who is a Veterinarian. I was a little worried at first that it would not meet his expectations but to my surprise he was very happy with the purchase. He installed it the minute I brought it to work and said it was perfect, so no complaints and he's been using it for weeks now.

Excellent objective option!, that gives you a 20 times more magnification over the 40X regular objective of the microscope, with a very good Plan-Achromatic optical quality, without sacrify the image quality, and the need to use oil to improve the magnification of the images. A great intermediate dry option between the 40X and 100X (oil) objectives. At a great affordable price, what else can you ask?!!!... Recomended!!!

cant really tell how good from one lens to another but what is with the $113.00 dollars CDN if it ships from the states.

The first one of these I ordered came defective - it was off-center, requiring repositioning the slide when switching from lower mag lenses. Also after replacing it with a new one it was not significantly sharper than the non-plan. Still had a f***ton of chromatic aberration near the edges when using the calibration slide. And honestly at 60x who really cares about supposed sharpness all the way to the edge - once you are at 60x you are pretty much focused on what's at the center. Regardless, the non-plan from amscope was almost half the price and was just as good for non-lab use, which let's be honest anyone spending this kind of money on a lens is definitely not in a lab. For hobbyist or non-professional biological/medical use, save yourself the money and go with the standard lens. But be advised as I said I had to go through two of these before I found one that wasn't defective, so don't assume that the first one you get is representative of this model in general. I would strongly recommend ordering two and then keeping the better of the two. If amscope has a problem with that then maybe higher some people to do QC!

I like the upgrade to my microscope, just be certain to match the objective type exactly.
