Description of this part for the microscope.

Achromat HI 100x / 1,25 oo/0.17-A
Color correction: Achromat
Numerical aperture: 1,25
Tube length: infinity
Focal length: not sure
Cover glass: 0.17 mm
Immersion: yes, oil
Thread: M25

This lens is often used with Leica microscopes (e.g., the DMLB, DMLS, or DM1000 models). It is often shorter than Leica objectives, but an extension adapter is used in these cases.

17 100/1.25 Oel
Catalogue number in the manufacturer's catalogue: 519756
Numerical aperture N.A.: 1.25
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm
Thread: RMS
Tube length: 160 mm
Parfocal length: 45 mm (so-called long barrel objective)
Immersion: yes, oil

This is the so-called "black series" of objectives, named after the black plastic housing of the objective. They were used mainly in Leitz Wetzlar HM-LUX-3 microscopes (and in the model signed Leica HM-LUX 3). This was the period when manufacturers were experimenting with a new look for microscope parts, and exactly the same kind of "black series" could also be found in Will Wetzlar V300 / V355 / V365 or Nikon Alphaphot YS2 microscopes.

This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided it has an RMS thread and accepts objectives with a tube length of 160 mm and a parfocal length of 33 / 37 or 45 mm. A few such microscopes are listed as examples in the "compatibility" section, but this is not a complete list.

25
Catalogue number in the manufacturer's catalogue: 519754
Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.25
Cover glass: not required
Thread: RMS
Tube length: 160 mm
Parfocal length: 45 mm (so-called long barrel objective)
Immersion: no (dry objective)

This is the so-called "black series" of objectives, named after the black plastic housing of the objective. They were used mainly in Leitz Wetzlar HM-LUX-3 microscopes (and in the model signed Leica HM-LUX 3). This was the period when manufacturers were experimenting with a new look for microscope parts, and exactly the same kind of "black series" could also be found in Will Wetzlar V300 / V355 / V365 or Nikon Alphaphot YS2 microscopes.

From 1990 onwards, the logo (and the name) "Leica" began to appear on microscopes that had until then been signed "Leitz". This was also visible on the HM-LUX 3 microscope - and this microscope can be found both with the "Leitz" logo and with "Leica". The same 10x objective that I present here with the name "Leitz Wetzlar" and manufacturer number 519754 also exists with the "Leica" marking - and NOTE - it carries exactly the same number, that is "519754".

This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided it has an RMS thread and accepts objectives with a tube length of 160 mm and a parfocal length of 33 / 37 or 45 mm. A few such microscopes are listed as examples in the "compatibility" section, but this is not a complete list.

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.
