Silicone Immersion ObjectivesSilicone immersion objectives are optimized for live cell and live tissue imaging. By properly matching the refractive index, images are clearer and brighter, and time−lapse observations become more reliable and less complex because silicone oil does not dry at 37 °C (98.6 ℉). Because the refractive index of silicone immersion oil (ne=1.40) is close to that of the clearing reagent SCALEVIEW–A2 (ne=1.38), the silicone immersion objectives are also well suited for observing SCALEVIEW–A2 cleared samples. |  |
 Sample: ScaleA2–treated neocortex, VGluT1/Green, VGluT2/Red, MAP2/Blue | Silicone Versus Oil Immersion 60X ObjectivesBy matching the refractive index of the sample and immersion medium, the A Line silicone objective (UPLSAPO60XS2) enables deeper imaging.

Three-Dimensional Observation of the Biliary Tree Structure in Mouse Livers with a 30x Objective (UPLSAPO30XS)The biliary tree structures were compared between Klf5-LKO mice and control mice. Consecutive tomographic images (Z axial interval of 1 μm) of biliary tissue (green, biliary epithelial cell marker CK19) in liver tissue specimens with 200 μm thickness cleared with SeeDB were obtained using the FV3000 and 30x silicone oil immersion objective, enabling high-resolution observation while maintaining a wide field of view. In Klf5-LKO mice, CK19+ cell clusters (white arrow) that were spatially separated from the biliary tree were observed. |   Scale bar: 50 μm |

Super-Corrected 60X Objectives |  |
 | Better Imaging Performance with a Super-Corrected Chromatic Aberration and a High Numerical ApertureColocalized fluorescent signals are a problem that require an objective with a superior optical design to correct for color shifts (aberration). The high numerical aperture super-corrected 60X objective minimizes chromatic aberration to the utmost limit in the 405–650 nm spectrum. 0.1 μm or less axial chromatic aberration is provided in this range, and every objective is delivered with its measured data sheet. This objective can acquire 2D and 3D images with excellent reliability, accuracy, and improved colocalization analysis. Save time and resources in multicolor labeling experiments without having to go through post-processing adjustments. |
