LT-APO/LWD
apochromatic cryogenic objectives with long working distance
The LWD series of LT-APO objectives is designed for maximum numerical aperture and widest apochromatic range at an increased working distance of 5 mm. This strongly enhances compatibility with applications where more space is required between sample and objective, while still maintaining a relatively high NA combined with a broad working wavelength range. The different versions cover the range from the visible range (VIS, VISIR), up to the near-infrared (NIR). Their apochromatic range is mathematically defined by the range over which the focal shift is within +/- the depth of focus around an optimal focus wavelength.For best overall performance, the use of a broadband collimator is strongly recommended (see RT-APOs). Please note that the LWD series is not compatible with 1” sample spaces due to the larger overall size of the objective. For more details, please consult the specification datasheets, or contact our sales engineers.

Naming Scheme
The different objectives offered are distinguished and described by the following naming scheme:
RT is short for “Room Temperature (compatible)“.
LT is short for “Low Temperature (compatible)”.
IWDO is short for “Intermediate Working Distance Objective”.
LWD is short for “Long Working Distance”.
LWDO is short for “Long Working Distance Objective”.
APO is short for “Apochromatic”, and refers to the fact that the focal displacement curve is flat (i.e. within plus/minus one depth of focus) within the specified apochromatic range (see specification sheets of the respective objectives for further details).
/VIO indicates that the objective is most suitable in the ultra-violett to visible range
/VIS indicates that the objective is most suitable for the visible wavelength range.
/VISIR indicates that the objective is most suitable for the visible to (near-)infrared wavelength range.
/IR indicates that the objective is most suitable in the lower infrared range
/NIR indicates that the objective is most suitable for the near-infrared wavelength range.
/0.82 is indicating the numerical aperture (NA) of the respective objective, in this case NA = 0.82.
