These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official.

# Belongs to category:
Eyepieces

# Description and specifications:
These eyepieces are in excellent optical condition and show no signs of wear.

Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Magnification: 8x
Field of view: 18
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm

Due to their very high quality, they are often used with microscopes from other manufacturers, especially when Carl Zeiss Jena Planachromat objectives are mounted.

8x eyepieces are best suited for microscopes equipped with a head with a magnification of 1.5x or 1.6x. In such cases, using 10x or higher eyepieces can result in excessive magnification and sometimes poor image quality. In such cases, 8x eyepieces provide the best image and optimal magnification.

# Examples of use
- if you don't have these eyepieces in your set
- if you have a head with its own 1.5x or 1.6x magnification and need the appropriate eyepieces, 8x are the right ones
- if you have 8x eyepieces, but they have a smaller field of view
- if you want to replace your poor-quality eyepieces
- if you have Planachromat objectives and want to use plan-compensated eyepieces
