Objective Lenses
The ImageXpress Pico System can be configured with high-quality Leica Fluotar objectives.
Five objectives are currently available.
You can identify the magnification of an objective by the color band:
Objective Magnification Color
4x Red
10x Yellow
20x Green
40x Light Blue
63x Dark Blue
The 40x objective and 63x objective have application-optimized correction collars (CORR) to
compensate for external influences such as well bottom thickness or coverslip thickness. The
collars have a range of 0 mm to 2 mm correction. Changing this setting adjusts the distances
between components inside the objective barrel. Image quality and resolution are very
dependent on properly setting these collars.
The settings to be used depend on the well bottom thickness of the plate or the coverslip
thickness on the slide on which the specimen is mounted. In general, set the correction collar
for the physical thickness of the plate or slide that you are imaging. The physical thickness
can be determined by the plate specifications from the plate manufacturer.
See Compatible Objectives on page 47 for details.
