Nikon has three grades of clinical objectives.
1) Plan Achromat
2) Plan Fluorite
3) Plan Apochromat
The plan achromat objectives are the most common lenses found in the laboratory environment and are more than satisfactory for every day clinical use. The plan fluorite objectives have increased chromatic and spherical corrective properties. The plan apochromat objectives are Nikon's top of the line clinical objectives with even more chromatic and spherical corrective properties than the fluorite lenses. Fluorite and Apochromat objectives are typically used by pathologists and researchers.
Nikon makes objective lenses for specific observation methods.
