Achromat objective 0.63x with 148 mm working distance and M60 thread - Leica 10450160

Anyone soldering, measuring or reworking under a stereo microscope needs room between optics and part. The Leica 0.63x achromat objective raises the working distance to 148 mm and makes space for iron, tweezers and test probe.

Benefits in use

• Working distance of 148 mm between objective and object plane, so hand and tool work under the optics without taking the part out again.
• The 0.63x factor reduces the image scale, so the object field grows against a 1.0x objective and larger assemblies fit into the picture completely.
• Achromatic correction across the visible spectral range, edges and conductor tracks stay free of colour fringes.
• M60 mounting thread, the objective is screwed straight onto a Leica M series Routine microscope body without an adapter.
• Outer diameter of 58 mm, the usual dimension of this objective line, which governs the choice of protective and supplementary glasses.
• Sales unit of 1 piece, so the magnification factor can be swapped at the bench at any time.

Technical data

Calculating magnification correctly

Total magnification on a stereo microscope comes from the objective factor, the zoom setting and the eyepiece magnification. The 0.63x factor is only one of these three values. Which total magnification and which field of view result depends on the microscope body and the eyepiece in use.

Applications

Rework and repair on printed circuit boards, incoming and final inspection, assembly of small units, laboratory and training. Wherever work happens under the optics and the view should still cover the whole assembly.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The objective is supplied on its own, without protective glass and without a storage box. It fits microscope bodies of the Leica M series Routine with an M60 objective thread, which includes M50, M60 and M80. Whether an existing protective or supplementary glass fits depends on the outer diameter of 58 mm.
