# Description and specifications:
A very rare 8:1 achromatic microscope objective (i.e., 8x magnification).

Manufacturer: PZO
Magnification: 8:1 (8x)
Correction: achromatic
Focal length: 33 mm
Thread: RMS
Variant: glossy housing

This very old series of objectives was used in vintage MinO, M-100, and early versions of the MET-3 microscopes.

Together with the 12mm RMS extension adapter, this lens can be successfully used on newer PZO microscopes such as the MB-30, Studar, and Biolar.

Important: this lens can, of course, be used on microscopes from other manufacturers, as it has a classic RMS connection.
