Description of this part for the microscope.

yes, 0.17 mm
Thread: RMS
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Immersion: yes, oil immersion
Thread: RMS

Only towards the end of its operations did Hertel & Reuss begin producing microscopes with objectives having a 45 mm parfocal length. These were the Hertel & Reuss Labopan and Superpan models. Previously, microscopes from this company used objectives with a 37 mm parfocal length.

This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided that it has an RMS thread and supports objectives with TL=160 mm. Several examples of such microscopes are listed in the "Compatibility" section, but this is not a complete list.

Cover glass: not required
Thread: RMS
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Immersion: no (dry objective)
Thread: RMS

This objective can be used both:
- with biological microscopes using transmitted-light illumination
- with inverted microscopes
- with microscopes with reflected-light illumination
- for macro photography by directly connecting it to a camera

This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided that it has an RMS thread and supports objectives for TL=160 mm. Several examples of such microscopes are listed in the "compatibility" section, but this is not a complete list.

Several facts are worth emphasizing:
- many Hund Wetzlar microscope models are identical to models sold by Will Wetzlar due to their joint production. For example, the BX300 and Wilovert models even have the same name. Therefore, Hund Wetzlar microscope objectives can also be used with Will Wetzlar microscopes.
- the companies Eschenbach, Kremp Wetzlar, CBS Beck Kassel and Kosmos Stuttgart also used Will Wetzlar objectives, so Hund Wetzlar microscope objectives can also be used with microscopes from these manufacturers - but it is worth checking the parfocal length first (37 mm or 45 mm)
- objectives with magnifications below 16x (e.g. 4x / 5x or 10x) fit both classic biological microscopes, microscopes with reflected-light illuminators and inverted microscopes.

Description of this part for the microscope.

100x
Colour correction: achromatic
Model: E. 100 1.25 oil 160/0.17
Numerical aperture N.A.: 1.25
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm thick
Thread: RMS
Tube length: 160 mm
Parfocal length: 45 mm (long barrel objective)
Immersion: yes, oil
Operating mode: objectives marked "E." are already CF objectives (CFN to be precise) and need no additional correction

This objective needs no additional correction from a tube lens or from the eyepieces. That makes it possible to fit it to microscopes of other makes, and in photomicrography it works in direct projection mode (it throws the image straight onto the camera sensor, with no relay optics needed).

This is the so-called black series of objectives, named after the black plastic barrel. They were used mainly in the Nikon Alphaphot YS2 microscope. That was the period when manufacturers were experimenting with a new look for microscope parts, and exactly the same black series appeared for instance in the Leitz / Leica HM-LUX 3 microscope or in the Will Wetzlar V300 / V355 / V365 microscopes.

This objective fits practically any microscope of any make, provided it has an RMS thread and supports objectives with TL = 160 mm and parfocal lengths of 33 / 37 and 45 mm. A few such microscopes are listed in the "compatibility" section, but that list is not complete.

25 160/0.17
Magnification: 10x
Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.25
Tube length: 160 mm
Parfocal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: according to the engraving on the barrel 0.17 mm, but with 10x objectives a cover glass is in practice not required - the objective works both with and without one
Immersion: no (this is a dry objective)
Thread: RMS

I have personally tested this objective with the following microscopes:
- MOTIC B1
- MOTIC SFC-100
- PZO Studar
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval
- Olympus CH

This MOTIC microscope objective will work well in a microscope from any manufacturer, provided it has an RMS thread, optics corrected for a 160 mm tube length and accepts objectives with a 45 mm parfocal length. As for the parfocal length: in the vast majority of cases (almost always) objectives with a 45 mm parfocal length can also be fitted to microscopes originally sold with so-called short barrel objectives, that is with a 33 mm or 37 mm parfocal length. In such a case it is more convenient not to mix the objectives and to have them all of the same length - but that is only a matter of convenience, not a requirement. In the compatibility section I do not list microscopes from other manufacturers, because that list would need several hundred entries.

This also works the other way round: in the MOTIC B1 and MOTIC SFC-100 microscopes you can use any objective with an RMS thread, corrected for a 160 mm tube length and with a 45 mm parfocal length - from any manufacturer. These can be unbranded objectives, PZO or Carl Zeiss Jena objectives - but the objective offered here will please those who own a MOTIC microscope and want to complete it with original parts.
