consists of:
- an illuminator (light source)
- a "tube" containing collimating lenses and a field diaphragm
- a 90-degree angle mirror
- a light filter (clear or blue)

This offers an integrated block, also known as a "tube." It consists of:
- a metal tube with holes that acts as a heat sink, dissipating heat from the light source
- a set of lenses that collimate the illumination beam
- a field diaphragm (iris diaphragm)
- a knob that opens/closes the diaphragm

This element is the same for all lighting types, regardless of whether it's a 6V 15W bulb, a PZO OH1 (12V 100W) or a modified LED, so it fits any version of the PZO Biolar microscope:
- B
- B2
- GF
- Pol
- DIC
- EPI
- Fluoreszenz

It contains two critical components: a collimating lens that often cracks under temperature, and a field diaphragm whose blades are prone to bending.

PZO logo and a circular illumination filter - the one offered here is colorless.

Some newer versions of the PZO Biolar microscope included a blue illumination filter mounted in the microscope base. This filter cut out the yellow color of the light emitted by the bulb, providing the user with a pleasant, near-white light.

Unfortunately, this filter is not replaceable, and when the light source is changed to a halogen or cold LED, the blue light filter becomes annoying, as the light color changes from white to blue.

If the user tries to remove the original light filter themselves, they often break either the filter or its black housing. This brings us to the point where it's worth having this part on hand - you can easily swap the blue filter for a colorless one.

NOTE - this part is originally heat-attached and held in place by melted plastic legs. After replacement, it's best to glue it in place.

This item fits the following versions of the Biolar PZO microscope:
- B
- Pol
- DIC
- EPI
- Fluoreszenz

Note - it likely will not fit the B2 or GF versions.

for storing, using, and quickly replacing entire sets of objectives.

For example, you can have separate turrets already equipped with the following sets of objectives:
- low magnification for observing macro objects with side illumination, without a cover glass (e.g., 2.5x / 3.2x / 5x / 8x / 10x)
- for phase contrast
- for various phase contrasts (positive, anoptral, amplitude, Zernike)
- for DIC
- for water immersion (e.g., Lomo)
- all for oil immersion (e.g., Leitz 10x Oil / 25x Oil / 40x Oil / 100x Oil)
- apochromatic for better color
- for polarization
- only high magnifications, e.g., for analyzing cell wall ornamentation (50x / 63x / 80x / 100x)
- for darkfield work (objectives with an iris diaphragm in the center)

Thanks to this , having only one microscope, we can use it for various purposes and not screw in and unscrew all the lenses manually each time.

NOTE - IMPORTANT - This bulb does not fit the PZO MB-30 microscope.

Description of this part for the microscope.

This part is often damaged in PZO SK8 microscope stages: because the knobs extend beyond the microscope's outline after installation, the worm shaft often bends during transport, making it difficult to straighten properly.

The PZO SK8 is a mechanical microscope stage with horizontal knobs, primarily used in PZO MB30 microscopes, ML series models, and PZO MST-130/131 stereo microscopes - but is also sometimes installed in Studar and Biolar models.

maintenance (especially cleaning) of this element is required. Since PZO Biolar microscopes are 40-50 years old, it is now possible to find units without this cover, as it was lost over the years.

This metal cover also acts as a heat sink and dissipates heat from the bulb - this can sometimes be seen as discoloration on the inner surface of the metal. For this reason, replacing it with an element made of cardboard or plastic is a very bad practice.

Without this cover, contaminants can enter the optical light beam, the angled mirror, or the field diaphragm, which may, for example, cause diaphragm failure or deterioration of image quality.

This element fits the following versions of the PZO Biolar microscope:
- B

Monocular microscope head for a fluorescence microscope
Model: PZO MNJ-4
Mounting method: dovetail, diameter 43 mm
Supported eyepieces: 23.2 mm
Mounted filter: OG1 / GG9
For microscopes: PZO Biolar FL and PZO MB-30 FL

Why are monocular microscope heads often used in fluorescence microscopy? Fluorescence microscopy (especially older designs) produces a relatively dark image, so it is beneficial for 100% of the light beam to reach a single eye. A binocular microscope head would split the light 50% to each eye, which could result in an image that is too dark.

The barrier fluorescence filter PZO OG1 / GG9 mounted under the microscope head protects the eyes from the harmful spectrum of fluorescence illumination.

Note - there is also a PZO GG9 fluorescence filter (also available in my catalog). It is important to select the correct filters for the appropriate applications.

The OG1 / GG9 filter is a separate element that can be detached from the microscope head. It is mounted under the microscope head in a dedicated slot provided for this purpose.

Basic parameters:
- Type: tube with diopter correction ring
- Supported eyepiece diameter: 23.2 mm
- Included: right eyepiece prism
- For head model: PZO MND-6, both for models with black and with white housing.

This repair part (service element / replacement part) comes from a binocular head PZO MND-6 which was originally mounted on the microscopes:
- PZO Biolar DIC
- PZO Biolar B

However, because the PZO MND-6 head has a standard mounting interface typical for PZO microscopes (that is a dovetail mount with a diameter of 43 mm), this head can also be found mounted on other PZO microscopes such as:
- Studar
- MB-30

Additional information: the fluorescence microscope PZO Biolar FL was originally sold with a mono head (monocular head) - however the PZO MND6 head also fits this microscope model.

Hinweis - this tube with prism DOES NOT FIT heads that were originally sold with PZO Studar microscopes, even though these heads look very similar. Of course if a head from the Biolar model was mounted on a Studar microscope (because it fits), then this tube will be compatible, because it is a repair element for the HEAD and not for a specific microscope model.

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

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.

Numerical aperture: 0.40
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 33 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm
Thread: RMS + Pol adapter
Info: P = Polarization

This is an objective designed for transmitted light work with a cover glass.

The RMS thread objective is mounted on a dedicated slide-in adapter that allows it to be used in Lomo MIN series and Lomo Polam series microscopes. Of course, the objective can be unscrewed and another objective can be mounted in the adapter.

The objective itself, once removed from the adapter, is a standard objective that can be used in virtually any microscope with an RMS thread. It is a so-called "short objective" (focal length 33 mm). When a 12 mm adapter is added, the total length becomes 45 mm, allowing it to be used with newer microscopes from any manufacturer.

Lomo polarization objectives with RMS thread can be installed in an RMS-M27 adapter and then used in microscopes such as Lomo Biolam M, Lomo Biolam I, Lomo Lumam, or Lomo ML-2. I have also frequently seen such objectives used in Zeiss Axio series microscopes with M27 thread.

The Pol adapter also allows precise centering of the objective relative to the entire optical path - this requires tools (keys / tools).

Info: I have repeatedly seen information stating that this RMS-Pol adapter is compatible with Leitz Wetzlar polarization microscopes - however, I have not personally verified this.

In summary, this objective is dedicated to Lomo MIN-1, MIN-4, MIN-5, MIN-6, MIN-8, Lomo Polam R-113, Polam L-211, Polam L-213, Polam R-311, Polam LMPR microscopes - but it is practically compatible with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports 160 mm objectives.

Additionally, this objective is very often used for macro photography even without a microscope. This objective does not require a cover glass and works in the "direct-projection" technique, meaning it can be connected directly to a camera without additional optics. This allows achieving a very high magnification scale and great depth of field across the entire image when using focus stacking. The fact that this is a polarization objective (i.e. stress-free optics without internal glass tensions) further improves image quality at high magnifications.

PZO Biolar P (Pol)
- PZO Biolar FL (Fluorescence)

The function of this component is to reflect light coming from the microscope base vertically upward so that, after passing through the specimen slide and the objective, it reaches the eyepieces and ultimately the user's eyes.

This cast component bears the marking "AK11", and this designation is commonly used on the secondary market to identify this particular angle mirror. However, it is not a part number, because the marking "AK11" can also be found on other PZO microscope components, which may lead to confusion. It is very likely that the source of this confusion is the attempt to compare PZO metal components with those used in Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes, where cast parts are marked with numbers in the format "Si10 CZ xxxxx". This may incorrectly lead people to assume that PZO used a similar numbering system.

Replacement of the angle mirror in PZO Biolar microscopes may be necessary in the following situations:
- if the mirror has become heavily scratched due to improper cleaning (minor scratches are usually not visible during normal use)
- if the silver reflective coating of the installed mirror becomes oxidized
- if the mirror becomes damaged, chipped, or cracked, for example after coming loose from its mounting

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).
