Description of this part for the microscope.

it fits the CN series or the STE-6 stereo microscope (I'll post here once I find out).

Modell: HAPRO

Update: I just tested it with a Hertel & Reuss CN-hf / CN-fl microscope. The illuminator fits perfectly, but the CN-hf / CN-fl doesn't have a mirror underneath (Umlenkspiegel), so you'll need to install one yourself and it will work perfectly (see last photos).

condenser
- three phase contrast objectives
- condenser holder with gear rack

Three phase contrast objectives:
- Hertel & Reuss 10:1 N.A. 0.30 Ph.
- Hertel & Reuss 40:1 N.A. 0.65 Ph.
- Hertel & Reuss 100:1 Oel N.A. 1.30 Ph.
- Thread: RMS
- Tube length: 170 mm
- Focal length: 37 mm

This particular set was used in a Hertel & Reuss Studio II microscope. For this reason, the condenser holder is included in the set, but of course the condenser can be removed from the holder and used with other microscope models.

Eyepiece diameter: 23.2 mm
Mounting diameter: 50 mm

A trinocular head is a binocular microscope head with an additional third optical port for connecting a camera or photographic device.

This particular unit comes from a Hertel & Reuss Studio II microscope, but it also works with any other microscope model from this manufacturer that has an interchangeable head with a mounting diameter of 50 mm.
NOTE - as far as I remember, not all H&R microscopes have an easily interchangeable head; this applies, for example, to the Primus model.

NOTE - some microscope models from Steindorff Berlin also have a head mounting diameter of 50 mm and are fully compatible with H&R heads - an example of such a microscope with a Hertel & Reuss head can be seen on Facebook at the following address: https://www.facebook.com/groups/136833493390496/posts/1722336908173472/

are available in several variants:
- round polarizing microscope stage
- mechanical microscope stage with a central plate, used for reflected light EPI
- simple microscope stage with specimen clips
- simple microscope stage with a screw-mounted XY cross-slide mechanism
- mechanical microscope stage with an integrated cross-slide mechanism
[[/BLOK]

The stage offered here is exactly of this last type.

Mounting method: screw-mounted.

This particular microscope stage was used in a Hertel & Reuss Studio II microscope.
However, it is sufficient to measure the spacing of the mounting screws that attach the stage to the stand and, if they match, to use it with other microscope models as well.

Hertel & Reuss also manufactured microscopes that were sold under other brand names, therefore it is likely that this stage will also fit some microscope models sold under the following names:
- Kosmos
- Humboldt
- Beck

Specimen holder: no

In the place where stage clips normally hold the microscope slide with the specimen, there is a black matte insert covering the central opening in the stage, which makes it possible to work with reflected light. As visible in the photos and in the video - it can be pulled out, and then it becomes a "normal" stage for work with transmitted light (although of course it lacks the clips that hold the specimen slide).

This particular stage worked in a Hertel & Reuss Metall microscope. YES - "Metall" is the model name and not a statement that the microscope is made of metal. It is the same stage that is used in the Hertel & Reuss Studio II microscope and it can be used on both of these microscopes.
However, it is enough to measure the spacing of the screws that mount the stage to the microscope stand - and if they match - it can also be used with other microscope models.

Hertel & Reuss also produced microscopes that were sold under other brand names, so it is likely that this stage will also fit some microscope models sold under the names:
- Kosmos
- Humboldt
- Beck (CBS Beck Kassel)

08 160/-
Color correction: Planachromat
Numerical aperture: 0.08
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS

This lens provides an excellent, wide image, and because it doesn't require a cover glass, it's often used for macro photography and stacking.

Important - this lens is not suitable for taking photos using the "direct-projection" technique, as it requires plan-compensation optics.

A microscope objective with such low magnification is used, among others, in the following fields:
- tissue overview examination in pathomorphology
- observation of insects
- observation of minerals
- observation of inclusions in amber
- handwriting analysis
- observation of micromollusks
- and many others

Correction: Achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.24
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Info: PI = polarization-interference objective (red ring).

Compatible with the following PZO condensers:
- PZO KPI 2
- slit condenser
PI objectives are among the components of the PZO UPI set (i.e. the so-called DIC).

VERY IMPORTANT: the marking on the objective is "PI" (in lowercase: "pi"), meaning [P]-polarization [I]-interference.
In many descriptions available on the Internet, you can find information that this is a PLAN objective. This is an ERROR caused by misinterpreting the marking as PL.

Note: another INCORRECT piece of information often found online is that these are DIC objectives. This is not true.
DIC according to Pluta (niem: DIC nach Pluta), sold by PZO, achieves the DIC effect (i.e. a 3D relief image) using standard achromatic PZO objectives (and not only those). Objectives marked PI with a red ring are not required for this.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.

New (usually Chinese) microscope filters are sometimes not even made of glass. And even if they are made of glass - you may encounter scandalous examples where the glass is only surface-colored. Unfortunately, cheap colored glass filters may not be internally homogeneous and can cause light refraction distortions.

This filter set by PZO was originally sold together with the PZO Biolar microscope. It was manufactured in the 1970s (and certainly before 1977), so these are optical glasses that are about half a century old! They have never been used until now (this is so-called NOS - New Old Stock), therefore these are excellent old-class optical glasses of the highest quality.

Filters with a 32 mm diameter are used - and can be used - in microscopes from various manufacturers:
- Carl Zeiss Jena
- Zeiss West Germany
- Eschenbach
- Meopta
- Nikon
- ROW
- Leitz Wetzlar
- Wild
- Hund
- Kosmos
- and many others

Important - popular microscopes by Lomo (for example Lomo Biolam) have a 33 mm filter holder, so the filters shown here have too small a diameter and may fall out from some Lomo holders.

Model: 160/0,17 EF 100/1.25 OEL PHACO 3
Magnification: 100x
Correction: semi-plan achromat
Numerical aperture: 1.25
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm
Immersion: yes, oil
Thread: RMS
Specimen protection: yes - spring-loaded
Info: PHACO 3 = phase contrast

Some important information about this objective:
- the designation "EF" means "Extended Field" - this is a semi-plan achromatic objective with an 18 mm field of view, which should be taken into account when selecting suitable eyepieces
- the semi-plan achromatic correction is "almost flat" - it is no longer an achromat, but not yet a plan achromat
- this objective can be used in brightfield, but phase contrast operation requires a compatible phase contrast condenser or a slide (slider) with a phase ring diaphragm
- the designation PHACO 3 means that for phase contrast operation a phase contrast condenser set to ring "3" should be used (the equivalent setting used by Zeiss is called "Ph3")
- this objective can be used with microscopes designed for objectives with a 170 mm tube length, but in such a case the optical path must be extended by 10 mm - most commonly by pulling the eyepieces out of the tubes by 10 mm

This objective can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer together with a compatible phase contrast condenser. Naturally, the microscope must be compatible, i.e. it must support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm and FL=45 mm - or have adapters that make such adaptation possible (for example thread adapters).

not intended for so-called "thick" objectives
Thread in the cap: no, the cap of this objective case does not contain a thread for attaching an RMS objective

This objective case can be used to store so-called "short" objectives (DIN 33 mm), longer objectives (DIN 37 mm), and long objectives (DIN 45 mm), provided they are not the so-called "thick" type.

Various names are used on the secondary market for a microscope objective case, including:
- objective case
- microscope objective case
- objective container
- microscope objective container
- objective storage case
- objective storage container
- objective box
- objective storage box
- protective objective case
- objective lens case
- objective lens container
- dust protection case
- transport case for microscope objectives
- microscope objective holder case
- storage canister for microscope objectives

Each case has the Hertel & Reuss logo on its cap.

Although this case is of greatest interest to users and collectors of objectives made by the manufacturer Hertel & Reuss, it can of course be used to store objectives from any manufacturer.

ameters:
Manufacturer: Lomo
Model: PLAN 25x0.50 P
Original designation: ЛОМО ПЛАН 25х0,50 П
Magnification: 25x
Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.50
Tube length: 160 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm thickness
Immersion oil: no – this is a dry objective
Focal length: 45 mm
Thread type: RMS
Additional designation: P (Cyrillic: П) indicates that this objective is designed for use with polarized light
Special features: built-in iris diaphragm
Year of manufacture: 1976

This objective has a standard RMS thread and TL=160 mm, which means it can be used with the vast majority of microscopes from virtually any manufacturer, including Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon, PZO, Carl Zeiss Jena, Reichert, Wild and many others.

The built-in iris diaphragm allows, among other things, precise centering of the objective, because in a polarizing microscope the following diaphragms may operate simultaneously:
- field diaphragm in the illuminator
- aperture diaphragm (or two aperture diaphragms) in the condenser
- iris diaphragm in the microscope objective
- iris diaphragm in the eyepiece head
and accurate centering of all of them relative to each other is very important in polarized-light observations.

Objectives marked "P" / "Pol" feature a special construction in which the lenses are mounted and cemented in a way that prevents mechanical stress. They can be used both for conventional brightfield microscopy and for observations in polarized light.
