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.

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.

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 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)

Description of this part for the microscope.

in the terminology of PZO the name "MPI5" has two meanings, which causes some confusion:
- MPI5 is the name of a DIC microscope based on the PZO MB-30 stand, KPI-2 condenser and the DIC head model MPI3
- MPI5 is also the name of the latest DIC head that is part of the PZO UPI set (PL: Urzadzenie Polaryzacyjno-Interferencyjne)

Description of this part for the microscope.

eyepiece contains two lines in the field of view used for adjusting DIC interference fringes, but this is the only difference compared to an otherwise identical eyepiece used for adjusting phase contrast. Therefore it can be used:
- for adjusting DIC
- for adjusting phase contrast
- for observing the iris diaphragm
- for observing the filament when setting illumination according to the Köhler standard

This is one of those microscope elements for which many different names are used. Among others:
- phase telescope
- phase contrast telescope
- phase alignment telescope
- phase adjustment telescope
- phase centering telescope
- phase contrast centering telescope
- phase contrast alignment telescope
- phase contrast adjustment telescope
- centering telescope
- condenser centering telescope
- condenser alignment telescope
- condenser adjustment telescope
- alignment telescope
- adjustment telescope
- inspection telescope
- aperture viewing telescope
- back focal plane viewing telescope
- auxiliary microscope
- phase contrast auxiliary microscope
- alignment auxiliary microscope
- centering auxiliary microscope
- adjustment auxiliary microscope
- auxiliary telescope
- centering scope

- phase scope
- phase viewer
- phase contrast viewer
- phase centering eyepiece

Fits condensers:
- PZO KPI-2 (Pluta / Nomarski DIC)
- PZO K4Ph (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO K3Ph (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO K3Ph1 (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO KFL (phase contrast / darkfield for fluorescence)
- PZO KFF
- PZO K3Phz (variable phase contrast Phz)

This upper lens allows conversion of the mounting standard from PZO 39.5 mm to the 37 mm standard and the use of PZO condensers on many other microscopes, e.g. Olympus BH / CH-2 or Lomo MBB

This microscope element can solve the following issues:
- How to mount PZO DIC on a Lomo microscope?
- Can I install a PZO DIC KPI2 condenser on an Olympus CH-2 microscope?
- Can I use PZO phase contrast on my non-PZO microscope?
- Does PZO phase contrast or DIC work on a microscope with a 37 mm condenser mount?

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.

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.
