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.

2 mm

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
