Leitz 567 039 PL Fluotar 32x objective
$550.00
This is a spectacular condition Leitz (engraved ‘LEICA GERMANY’) semi-conductor microscope objective. It is a Plan 32x, infinity corrected optic, and must be used only on uncovered specimens. The objective is spring-loaded for protection of the front lens.
The lens has a relatively high numerical aperture of 0.75, and is highly corrected for flatness of field up to a 28mm field-of-view index, as well as very high color correction. The Fluotars are bested only by the Apochromats. The lens mounting thread is standard RMS which makes this lens suitable for earlier instruments such as the Ergolux, Metalloplan, and others which used RMS nosepieces. It may be used on more recent 32mm thread instruments via a type 562 281 adapter ring (not included).
Nomenclature is on an engraved ring which may be rotated on the objective for optimal visibility when installed on a nosepiece. Leitz part number of the objective is 567 039. I
The lens is in superb condition – no marks of any sort on the glass, and the barrel is free of blemishes.

CompareProduct Description
Leitz 567 039 PL Fluotar 32x/0.75 Metallurgical Microscope Objective (Finite 160mm Tube Length)
This is a high-performance Leitz PL Fluotar 32x/0.75 metallurgical objective, part number 567 039. Designed for reflected light applications such as metallography, materials science, and epifluorescence, this objective delivers exceptional contrast, resolution, and flatness of field—hallmarks of Leitz’s premium Fluotar optical series. Compatible with Leitz microscopes using a 160mm finite tube length and RMS thread.
Key Specifications:
-
Magnification: 32x
-
Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.75 (high resolution, excellent light gathering)
-
Optical Design: PL Fluotar – Plan-corrected for flat field, Fluorite-grade glass for high transmission and low autofluorescence
-
Mechanical Tube Length: Finite 160mm (for older Leitz/Leica DM R, Metalloplan, Orthoplan, etc.)
-
Thread: RMS (Royal Microscopical Society standard)
-
Working Distance: Short (typical for high-NA metallurgical objectives; exact distance varies)
-
Correction: Corrected for no cover glass (0.17mm cover glass not used in reflected light)
-
Application: Reflected light brightfield, darkfield, DIC, and epifluorescence
Why This Objective Is a Premium Choice:
-
Fluotar Optics: Superior to standard achromats, offering better color correction, higher transmission (ideal for fluorescence), and a flatter field.
-
High NA (0.75): Provides excellent resolution and light collection for detailed imaging of metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and other opaque samples.
-
Leitz Legacy: Part of the renowned Leitz/Leica quality lineage, sought after for research and industrial inspection.
Compatibility Note:
This objective is designed for finite 160mm tube length microscopes. It is not compatible with infinity-corrected systems (common in newer microscopes). Verify your microscope’s tube length before purchasing.
Applications:
-
Metallurgical Sample Analysis: Grain structure, inclusion analysis, failure analysis.
-
Materials Science: Imaging ceramics, composites, polished geological samples.
-
Semiconductor/PCB Inspection: Defect review, layer alignment checks.
-
Fluorescence Microscopy: Suitable for blue/green fluorophores due to high transmission.
