08 160/-
Color correction: Planachromat
Numerical aperture: 0.08
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
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

Ph1: phase contrast

This specific unit was used in an inverted Zeiss ID 02 microscope, but I have also seen this objective model in Zeiss KF-2 ICS and Zeiss Axiostar microscopes.

Objectives with such low magnification (here 10x) can be used without a cover glass, with a cover glass, or for observation through thicker glass (e.g. through a Petri dish), therefore they can be used both in upright and inverted microscopes.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer together with a compatible phase contrast condenser (or slider with phase rings). Of course the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 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.

Manufacturer: Lomo
Magnification: 20x
Model: 20 0.40 P
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.

This particular screw was removed from a Zeiss Standard 14 microscope, but it will most likely fit most models of the Standard series, for example:
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard WL 89
- Zeiss Standard Universal
- Zeiss Standard Photomicroscope
- Zeiss Ultraphot

Note - over the years, Zeiss microscopes (or the same microscopes sold under the Zeiss-Winkel name or under the Opton brand), especially simpler models such as the Zeiss Standard Junior, used different types of head-retaining screws. These were not necessarily spring-loaded screws - in some cases ordinary threaded clamping screws were used instead.

Before deciding to replace the screw in a microscope, it is best to carefully compare its appearance and dimensions with the photographs in the gallery or ask a question on the forum https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/

field lens (Zeiss P/N 47 30 68). It can be installed in the tube between the objective nosepiece and the observation head. The lens is operated by a lever protruding from the side of the tube. In the manufacturer's documentation, this lever is referred to as "Switch to turn axis, e.g. with wide field changer 0.8x-1x". If this optional microscope component is not installed, the opening intended for the lever is closed with a plastic blanking plug additionally secured by a retaining screw. This listing includes exactly that end cap and screw.

This particular cover was removed from a Zeiss Standard 14 microscope, which is not normally equipped with the lever-operated lens. However, it will most likely fit the majority of other Standard series models, for example:
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard WL 89

The blanking plug itself carries the catalog number Zeiss 47 30 65 (alternative notation: Zeiss 473065) and is described as an "intermediate tube cover element".

Not only is this plastic cap frequently lost over the years, but the lever itself or the lens assembly may also become damaged and require removal. In such cases, this blanking plug should be installed to protect the microscope optics from dust.

In the last photographs in the gallery, I use arrows to show exactly which microscope component is being offered and where it is located within the microscope.

Model: 160/0,17 EF 100/1.25 OEL PHACO 3
Magnification: 100x
Correction: semi-plan achromat
Numerical aperture: 1.25
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
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).

ameters:
Manufacturer: Lomo
Model: PLAN 25x0.50 P
Original designation: ЛОМО ПЛАН 25х0,50 П
Magnification: 25x
Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.50
Tube length: 160 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm thickness
Immersion oil: no – this is a dry objective
Focal length: 45 mm
Thread type: RMS
Additional designation: P (Cyrillic: П) indicates that this objective is designed for use with polarized light
Special features: built-in iris diaphragm
Year of manufacture: 1976

This objective has a standard RMS thread and TL=160 mm, which means it can be used with the vast majority of microscopes from virtually any manufacturer, including Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon, PZO, Carl Zeiss Jena, Reichert, Wild and many others.

The built-in iris diaphragm allows, among other things, precise centering of the objective, because in a polarizing microscope the following diaphragms may operate simultaneously:
- field diaphragm in the illuminator
- aperture diaphragm (or two aperture diaphragms) in the condenser
- iris diaphragm in the microscope objective
- iris diaphragm in the eyepiece head
and accurate centering of all of them relative to each other is very important in polarized-light observations.

Objectives marked "P" / "Pol" feature a special construction in which the lenses are mounted and cemented in a way that prevents mechanical stress. They can be used both for conventional brightfield microscopy and for observations in polarized light.

supply:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss
Model: NAG 6V 20W stab.
Catalogue number: 45 84 15 - 9901
Input: 100-120-230-240 V
Output: 6 V
Output power: two outputs. It can supply either 2 × 10 W or 1 × 20 W
Power connector: separate computer-type power cable
Potentiometer: yes, smooth adjustment

This power supply has a maximum output power of 20 W and provides two outputs, allowing two 10 W illuminators to be connected and operated simultaneously.

However, it is a universal power supply and can be used with any microscope illuminator using a light source (lamp) rated at up to 20 W and operating at 6 V. Since most Zeiss microscopes use 6 V 15 W lamps, this power supply is suitable for virtually every microscope equipped with such illumination.

This power supply is most commonly used with microscopes employing 6 V 10 W halogen lamps, where both the transmitted-light illuminator and the reflected-light EPI illuminator are connected to the same power supply. Examples include:
- Zeiss D / DR / DRC / SV (Stemi) stereo microscopes
- Zeiss KF-2 biological microscope
- Zeiss ID2 inverted microscope

Special illuminators designed to work with this power supply were even manufactured for the Zeiss D / DR / DRC stereo microscopes:
- transmitted-light base "Zusatz für Durchlicht" with a 10 W halogen lamp
- auxiliary illuminators "Leuchte 10" / "Leuchte 10 S" with a 10 W halogen lamp
- vertical illuminator "Epileuchte" with a 15 W incandescent lamp

"Leuchte 10S" illuminators on a flexible arm, together with this particular power supply, are frequently used as a source of side reflected illumination for the Zeiss KF-2 biological microscope.

Examples of other microscopes whose 6 V 15 W illumination is compatible with this power supply:
- Zeiss Standard 16 / WL / GFL
- Zeiss Universal / Photomicroscope
- PZO Biolar
- PZO MST-130 / 131
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval / Amplival
- Carl Zeiss Jena SM-xx
- this power supply can also be used externally to power the halogen illuminator of Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed microscopes if the internal power supply fails (Jenamed uses a 6 V 20 W halogen lamp)

Note – different manufacturers and different illuminators may use different pin spacing in their 6 V connectors. It may therefore be necessary to modify the connector in order to connect it to this Zeiss power supply.

- Zeiss Standard WL / WL 89
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Photomicroscope (Zeiss PM / Phomi – all models)
- Zeiss Ultraphot

In these microscope models, the condenser has a dovetail mounting ring. This dovetail includes a notch into which the spring-loaded screw presented here engages. You can see what this mounting ring looks like and how the notch is shaped in the photo gallery of item No. 99625 in this database.
