We experienced two big assets when using the X Line objectives. First, the extended field homogeneity largely decreased our processing workflow when stitching whole animal images. Second, the gain in light collective properties of the X Line lenses left us with highly reduced phototoxicity levels due to markedly shortened exposure times. The X Line series objectives outcompete the standard plan apochromat lenses at levels crucial for performance improvement in high-level microscopic experiments.

The X Line 20X lens offers a high numerical aperture usually exclusively found in dry 40X or even 60X objectives, rewarding its users with unprecedented brilliance and detail. Chromatic aberrations commonly found in nearly all 20X objectives across the board have not only been minimized but have been eliminated altogether. The 20X X Line lens allows me to capture unbelievably detailed footage with excellent depth of field at extremely high shutter speeds thanks to its awesome transmission rate. I can highly recommend the X Line objectives for imaging in all photon-starved microscope applications.

The combination of 60X magnification and a high numerical aperture of 1.42 allows me to capture a large field of view at high resolution. My previous 100X objective had an NA of 1.40, so with X Line I get more into a frame and see more details.
