Standard objective lenses

The objective lenses in the table below are installed in non-adjacent positions in the standard 6-position nosepiece for objective lenses with M25 threads. Objective lenses are not installed in all positions to prevent damage to adjacent lenses as the objective lens is focused.

...

There is also a 10x HC PL APO CS2 0.4 NA (P/N 506424) air lens that can be installed in the standard nosepiece if required.

Objective lenses for cleared specimens and deep imaging

The objective lenses below have a larger M32 thread. To install these lenses the standard nosepiece must be removed from the microscope and replaced with a single-position nosepiece. Hence only one of these lenses can be installed at any one time. They have motorised correction collars which can be adjusted from within the software to correct for refractive index mismatches.

...

Note that the 6 mm working distance of the Clarity lens will mean that any sample imaged using this lens will most likely have to be mounted in a deep vessel.

Lasers

The DIVE has the following visible solid state lasers for confocal microscopy.
