# Belongs to category:
Condensers

# Description and specifications:
Upper interchangeable (threaded) lens for PZO microscope condensers.

Basic parameters:
N.A.: 1.2
Mounting diameter: 37 mm
Mounting: internal thread

Fits condensers:
- PZO KPI-2 (Pluta / Nomarski DIC)
- PZO K4Ph (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO K3Ph (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO K3Ph1 (phase contrast Ph, PhA, PhS, A)
- PZO KFL (phase contrast / darkfield for fluorescence)
- PZO KFF
- PZO K3Phz (variable phase contrast Phz)

This upper lens allows conversion of the mounting standard from PZO 39.5 mm to the 37 mm standard and the use of PZO condensers on many other microscopes, e.g. Olympus BH / CH-2 or Lomo MBB

This microscope element can solve the following issues:
- How to mount PZO DIC on a Lomo microscope?
- Can I install a PZO DIC KPI2 condenser on an Olympus CH-2 microscope?
- Can I use PZO phase contrast on my non-PZO microscope?
- Does PZO phase contrast or DIC work on a microscope with a 37 mm condenser mount?

# Examples of use
- if you have a PZO condenser without the upper lens
- if you want to use a PZO condenser on microscopes that require a mounting diameter of 37 mm

# Removed from microscope:
PZO Biolar

# Also compatible with the following microscopes:
- PZO Biolar
- PZO Biolar DIC
- Olympus BHA
- Olympus CH-2 CHT
- PZO Studar
- PZO MB-30
- PZO PZO K3Ph Phase Contrast Microscope Condenser (K4Ph, K3Ph1)
- PZO PZO UFC microscope condenser
- PZO KFL microscope condenser
- Lomo Biolam
- Lomo MBB-1
- Lomo Biolam-I
