Objectives and Shared Hardware

Objectives

We have a large collection of objectives that can be signed out for use on our microscopes. We have multiples of the most popular objectives, so you should have no trouble getting the objective you need for your experiment. We also have DIC prisms for all of our DIC-capable objectives.
