# Part manufacturer:
Hertel & Reuss

# Full manufacturer name:
Hertel & Reuss Kassel (West Germany)

# Other names of this manufacturer:
- H&R
- Hertel und Reuss
- Hertel & Reuss Optik Kassel
These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official. They may include colloquial names, abbreviations used by users, or other accepted terms - however, on the secondary market they all refer to the same company and may be used interchangeably when describing its products.

# Belongs to category:
Objective

# Description and specifications:
Microscope objective for older microscopes (so-called antique, vintage).

Manufacturer: Hertel & Reuss
Magnification: 50x
Thread: RMS
Tubus length: 170 mm (?)
Focal length: 37 mm

The optics (lenses) in this microscope objective are in very good condition.

There's no manufacturer's marking on the objective lens. Because lenses from different manufacturers looked very similar at the time, I'm not sure whether Hertel & Reuss manufactured the lenses themselves or ordered them from another company (e.g., Leitz). Therefore, these lenses can be safely used with microscopes from many other manufacturers.

# Examples of use
- Primarily for people who want to complete their incomplete vintage microscope with period parts
- if your microscope lacks a 50x objective
- if you have a 50x objective damaged or in poor condition
- if you have a microscope from any manufacturer that supports TL=170 FL=37 objectives, this is also a lens for you
