MAGUS DF2 A 1.36–1.25 Oil Darkfield Condenser

This darkfield condenser has a 1.36–1.25 N.A. It is intended for obtaining a contrast image of unstained transparent samples, which cannot be seen with the brightfield microscopy technique. It is used with objectives with magnifications over 20x, including oil-immersion objectives.

The immersion oil should be used for both dry and oil objectives; otherwise, the light will not reach the sample. The MAGUS DF2 A condenser is mounted on the microscope instead of the Abbe condenser and centered with two screws. The image will be as contrasty as possible if the cover glass is 0.17mm thick and the glass slide is 1–1.2mm thick.

Key Features

• High Numerical Aperture: Features a 1.36–1.25 N.A. for superior light-gathering ability and contrast.
• Enhanced Imaging: Ideal for viewing unstained, transparent samples invisible under brightfield microscopy.
• Compatibility: Suitable for use with high magnification objectives over 20x, including oil-immersion objectives.
• Immersion Oil Use: Requires immersion oil for both dry and oil objectives to ensure optimal light transmission.
• Easy Installation: Replaces the standard Abbe condenser and can be centered easily with two screws.
• Optimal Glass Thickness: Delivers maximum contrast with a cover glass thickness of 0.17mm and a glass slide thickness of 1–1.2mm.
