# Part manufacturer:
Lomo

# Full manufacturer name:
Leningrad Optical Mechanical Association

# Other names of this manufacturer:
- LZOS
- TOMP
- WTOMP
- WOOMP
- GOMZ
- LOOMP
- Progres
- Progress
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:
Lomo microscope objective for polarization. The objective was manufactured at the Progress factory - therefore it has a different logo than standard Lomo objectives.

Note - this model of microscope objective is very often used for macro photography and focus stacking. More information on this can be found at the end of this description.

Manufacturer: Lomo
Magnification: 9x
Model: PLANACHR 9x0.20 P
Numerical aperture: 0.20
Optical correction: planachromatic (flat field)
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 33 mm
Cover glass: optional, can be used but is not required
Thread: RMS + Pol adapter
Info: P = Polarization

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 into 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.

# Examples of use
- if you have a polarization microscope and are missing an objective with this magnification
- if you only need the slide adapter to use with other objectives
- if you are looking for an objective for macro photography and focus stacking
