Description of this part for the microscope.

33 mm
Thread: RMS
Variant: glossy housing

This very old series of objectives was used in vintage MinO, M-100, and early versions of the MET-3 microscopes.

Together with the 12mm RMS extension adapter, this lens can be successfully used on newer PZO microscopes such as the MB-30, Studar, and Biolar.

Important: this lens can, of course, be used on microscopes from other manufacturers, as it has a classic RMS connection.

mm
Focal Length: 33 mm
Cover Glass: 0.17 mm
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer. Of course, the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=33 mm.

After installing the 12 mm adapter, this objective lens will have FL = 45 mm.

eyepieces can be used with microscopes from any manufacturer, as long as the microscope supports eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm.

socket

This is an external electric illuminator for older type microscopes that use a mirror as a light source.

Mirror microscopes may have the mirror mounted vertically or horizontally, and this lamp (this illuminator) is compatible with both mounting types, as it has two mounting pins.

Note that this illuminator uses bulbs with a standard E14 socket, so an LED bulb can also be installed.

The PZO LM-2 illuminator has a place for a round filter with a diameter of 32 mm. Typically, the following are placed there:
- a diffuser to achieve uniform illumination
- a blue filter to convert the yellow, warm bulb light into a more white (cool) light
- or a blue diffuser to achieve both effects at the same time

Note - the PZO LM-2 illuminator is a so-called "simple" illuminator and does not allow achieving Koehler illumination. An external microscope lamp operating in the Koehler standard is called PZO LMK.

This is a universal microscope lamp and can be used with microscopes from many manufacturers.

magnification is very often used as a projection eyepiece for microphotography.

This eyepiece works with any microscope from any manufacturer that allows the use of eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm.

any microscope from any manufacturer that allows the use of eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm.

The company "Dr. G. Schuchardt Göttingen" did not and does not produce microscopes. Previously, it primarily sold microscopes manufactured by Hertel & Reuss and Will Wetzlar under its own brand.

Because this is important, I will write it again: this is a single eyepiece, not a pair of eyepieces.

This is a solution for people who:
- either have a pair of these eyepieces, but one of them needs to be replaced
- or have a microscope with a monocular head

For Will Wetzlar microscopes, eyepieces from practically any manufacturer can be used, provided that they are designed for a finite tube length system and have a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm. However, many users appreciate having original parts.

This eyepiece also works the other way around - it fits almost any microscope from any manufacturer that allows the use of eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm. Users of microscopes from many manufacturers are happy to choose German eyepieces because of their high quality. I have included some examples in the "compatibility" section, but this is definitely not a complete list.

of view number: 12
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm
Designation: PK = plan compensating - recommended for work with planachromatic objectives, but they also work without any trouble with achromats or apochromats

Because of their very high quality they are often used on microscopes from other manufacturers as well, especially when Carl Zeiss Jena Planachromat objectives are mounted in them. The "compatibility" section lists a long series of microscopes these eyepieces fit - but that list is definitely not complete.

Important: these eyepieces work both on microscopes with a finite tube length (160 mm, for example) and on microscopes with infinity optics. That means you can use them on the Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope just as well as on the Carl Zeiss Jena NU-2 microscope.

A note - eyepieces with such a strong magnification are in my opinion better suited to a quick look than to permanent work. I write "in my opinion" on purpose, because this comes from using them and not from the manufacturer's description.
A 16x eyepiece magnification should be treated as a zoom that brings out no additional detail (the resolution is not increased). This matters for example with heads that have their own extra magnification (such as Carl Zeiss Jena heads with a built-in 1.5x or 1.6x factor) - working with a 100x oil immersion objective you then theoretically get 100*1.5*16 = 2400x, while physics does not allow light from the visible range to be usefully magnified for the human eye beyond roughly 1250x - so this is what is called empty magnification.

Microscope users have several names for eyepieces of this type with a large field of view. Among others:
- wide field eyepiece
- widefield ocular
- WF eyepiece
- wide angle eyepiece
- large field of view eyepiece
