Description
Product Overview
The AmScope A100X objective is engineered for high‑performance microscopy, offering 100X magnification with achromatic correction to produce sharp, true‑color images. Its 1.25 numerical aperture provides superior light‑gathering ability, essential for resolving fine details in biological and material samples. Built to fit 160 mm mechanical tube length microscopes with a 45 mm parfocal distance, the lens aligns perfectly with standard DIN/JIS microscopes. The spring‑loaded nosecone protects both the objective and slides from accidental contact, while the oil immersion requirement maximizes resolution at high magnifications. Constructed from high‑quality optical glass and precision‑machined metal housing, the A100X ensures durability and consistent performance.
Usage

This objective excels in laboratory research, educational settings, and advanced hobbyist microscopy. It is ideal for cellular biology, histology, material science, and forensic analysis where high resolution and accurate color reproduction are critical. The oil immersion feature enables users to achieve the full potential of the 100X magnification, revealing sub‑micron structures with clarity. Compatible with most compound microscopes, it integrates seamlessly into existing setups, allowing educators to demonstrate detailed specimen observation and researchers to conduct precise measurements.

FAQ
Do I need oil for every use?
Oil immersion is required to achieve the full 100X magnification and optimal resolution. For lower magnifications, you can use the objective without oil, but performance will be reduced.
Is the A100X compatible with my existing microscope?
The objective is designed for standard 160 mm tube length microscopes with a 45 mm parfocal distance and DIN/JIS thread, making it compatible with most laboratory and educational microscopes.
How do I clean the objective after use?
Use lens cleaning solution and a soft, lint‑free tissue. Apply oil carefully if using oil immersion, and clean any residue after each session to maintain optical quality.
What does the spring‑loaded nosecone do?
The spring‑loaded nosecone cushions the objective when it contacts slides or the microscope body, preventing scratches and extending the lifespan of the lens.
What warranty does AmScope provide?
AmScope offers a five‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects, ensuring long‑term reliability and support for the A100X objective.
