Description of this part for the microscope.

mm
Cover Glass: 0.17 mm
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Info: PhA = negative (anoptral) phase contrast (yellow bar).

Fits the following PZO phase contrast condensers:
- K4Ph
- K3Ph
- K3Ph1
- KS
- KFF 2
- KFL

This objective lens is in excellent condition. It's difficult to find an objective of this quality on the used parts market.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer, along with a compatible phase contrast condenser. 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.

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.

- Model: 5/0.15 160/-
- Alternative model marking: 5/0.15 160/0
- Magnification: 5x
- Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.15
- Correction: achromatic
- Focal length FL: 33 mm
- Tube length: 160 mm
- Cover glass: not required, but may be used
- Immersion: no (dry objective)
- Thread: RMS

This model has a metal housing with no lens at its end. Additionally, this housing can be unscrewed without affecting the operation of the objective - resulting in a relatively large working distance of more than 20 mm.

Three features:
- large working distance exceeding 20 mm
- exceptionally high numerical aperture N.A. of 0.15
- achromatic correction allowing direct projection use
make this relatively uncommon model very frequently chosen for macro photography using a microscope objective connected to a camera (focus stacking).

The fact that this objective has FL = 33 mm allows it to be used with microscopes from other manufacturers, including:
- Lomo Biolam
- Lomo MBB-1A
- Carl Zeiss Jena LG / Lu / Lumipan
- Carl Zeiss Jena Nf
- Olympus CH

Note! Please note that the FL = 33 mm focal length means that this objective DOES NOT FIT the following microscopes:
- PZO Biolar
- PZO Studar

Early versions of this objective (with low serial numbers) have the engraved marking 5/0.15 160/0 suggesting that the objective is intended for use without a cover glass. This is true, but more precisely this objective can work both without a cover glass and with one. In newer versions the engraving already reads 5/0.15 160/- where this "minus" already means "indifferent".

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.

For PZO objectives, it can accommodate all standard achromatic objectives as well as all phase contrast objectives. Some unusual PZO microscope objectives do not fit inside, for example the 100x PI objective (with a red ring).

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 PZO logo on its cap. Caps may be black, white, or grey.

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

and serve two main purposes:
- they allow the user to comfortably rest their head against the eyepieces, reducing neck strain during prolonged microscope work (this is not possible with soft rubber eyecups)
- they block stray light entering from the sides, reducing reflections and improving image contrast

This offer includes 2 (two) pieces, i.e. one pair.

A few quick facts:
- these eyecups fit PZO eyepieces only
- these eyecups fit only PZO eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm
- these eyecups DO NOT FIT older PZO eyepieces with a knurled outer edge — an example of such eyepieces can be seen in the last gallery photograph
- the last gallery photograph shows an example of these eyecups installed on microscope eyepieces

Important: no dimensions are provided here. These eyecups fit only 23.2 mm microscope eyepieces manufactured by PZO (PZO Poland / PZO Warszawa). They do not fit microscope eyepieces made by other manufacturers. If a microscope made by another manufacturer (e.g. Lomo Biolam) uses PZO eyepieces, these eyecups will fit. If a PZO microscope (e.g. PZO Biolar) uses eyepieces made by another manufacturer (e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena), these eyecups will not fit even though the microscope itself is made by PZO. These eyecups fit the eyepieces — not a specific microscope.
