This is description of this part:

PZO Poland microscope objective with 40x magnification, 170 mm tube length and 33 mm focal length (the so-called short version).

Basic parameters of this PZO microscope objective:
Manufacturer: PZO Poland
Model: 40/0.65 170/0.17
Magnification: 40x
Correction: Achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.65
Tube length: 170 mm (very rare in PZO)
Focal length: 33 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm thickness
Immersion: no (dry objective)
Thread: RMS

Please note that this objective was designed for microscopes with a 170 mm tube length. This refers to older PZO microscope models:
- PZO MinO
- PZO M100
- PZO ML1 / ML2 and ML3
- PZO MB1 and MB2
- however, this is definitely not a complete list

It can be used with any microscope capable of accepting RMS objectives with TL=170 mm and FL=33 mm. After installing a 12 mm adapter, this objective will of course have FL=45 mm.

Many microscopes from the 1950s and 1960s support both TL=170 mm and TL=160 mm objectives. Interestingly, in many microscopes designed for a 160 mm tube length it is possible to use objectives designed for a 170 mm tube length if the microscope eyepieces are pulled out by 10 mm in the head tube (a solution used in Leitz Wetzlar microscopes).
