Aven Tools 26700-400-PL01 Cyclops Objective Lens 4X with Polarizer
Aven Tools 26700-400-PL01 Cyclops Objective Lens 4X with Polarizer
The Aven 26700-400-PL01 is a 4X objective lens with polarizer for Cyclops and Cyclops HDMI digital microscopes. Used with its included polarized LED cover, it helps reduce glare and reflected light when inspecting small, shiny parts, making surface details easier to examine.
Compatibility warning: Not compatible with 26700-420 Cyclops MACRO or 26700-421 Cyclops MICRO. Confirm your microscope model before ordering; the supplied manufacturer information does not establish compatibility with other Cyclops generations.
Best Uses / Applications
- Examining shiny or reflective components on a compatible Cyclops inspection system.
- Electronics inspection where reflections obscure surface details.
- Close visual examination of small parts during repair and quality-control work.
- Replacing or adding the specified polarized objective and LED cover to a compatible microscope.
Key Features
- 4X objective lens with polarizer.
- Helps significantly reduce glare from shiny or reflective parts.
- Included polarized LED cover works with the lens to block intense reflected light.
- Rotate the LED cover to adjust reflected-light intensity.
- Manufacturer-listed use with Cyclops and Cyclops HDMI digital microscopes.

Polarized vs. Non-Polarized Inspection
| Inspection approach | Use | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 26700-400-PL01 lens with included polarized LED cover | Reduce problematic glare from reflective parts | Rotate the cover to adjust reflected-light intensity; verify model compatibility |
| Inspection without this polarized accessory | View parts with the existing microscope configuration | Reflective surfaces may require changes to lighting or viewing angle |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Aven 26700-400-PL01 include?
Aven lists a Cyclops 4X objective lens with polarizer and a polarized LED cover. A microscope system is not included.
Which microscopes is this lens designed for?
Aven lists Cyclops and Cyclops HDMI digital microscopes. Confirm the exact model before purchase rather than assuming all Cyclops generations use the same optics.
Will it fit Cyclops MACRO or Cyclops MICRO?
No. Aven specifically excludes 26700-420 Cyclops MACRO and 26700-421 Cyclops MICRO.
How does the polarizer help with shiny parts?
The polarized lens and included cover help block intense reflected light and reduce glare during inspection of shiny or reflective objects.
Can I adjust the glare reduction?
Aven instructs users to rotate the LED cover to adjust reflected-light intensity.
Does 4X mean the image on my monitor is only four times larger?
No. 4X identifies the objective. Total displayed magnification depends on the microscope setup, sensor position and screen size; Aven's supplied reference chart uses a 21.5-inch screen.
Can I use the lens without checking my microscope model?
Check compatibility first. Aven's explicit MACRO and MICRO exclusions show why the Cyclops family name alone is not enough to select an accessory.
Manufacturer Safety Notice
Aven supplies the following California warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
