Pictures were taken using Zeiss Plan
Apochromat 20x or 40x objectives.
The emission was recorded by a fully computerized CCD-camera imaging system (Polychrome II, TILL Photonics) at 525 nm, using a 63x 1.0 NA objective (Zeiss W-Plan
Apochromat VIS-IR) and applying 4x4 pixel binning.
Part of TMB's Signature Series, this 92-mm
apochromat is a fast f/5.5 triplet-lens design, making for a stubby, ultra-compact tube assembly.
While not unique, its striking carbon-fiber tube certainly helps set this 80-mm f/7
apochromat apart.

STELLAR APO Stellarvue adds a new affordable 4-inch
apochromat to its line of premium-quality refractors.
One way to reduce the problem of chromatic aberration to negligible levels--and to keep the tube length manageable in larger scopes--is to introduce a third glass element to the objective, producing a triplet, or
apochromat. Alternatively, exotic substances such as fluorite may be substituted for one or more of the lens elements, resulting in an apochromatic doublet.
It's the only 90-millimeter
apochromat made with a three-element objective, which offers a level of color correction not possible with two-element designs.
