Description
SWIFT (Japan) M40x 0,65 210/- RMS metallurgical microscope objectiveUnfortunately, I don't know the name of the microscope model this microscope objective fits. This objective has the Swift logo and a typeface used by Swift (Japan) before the Chinese company Motic took over the manufacturer. I assume this objective is from around the 1970s.

210 mm is the typical tube length for EPI metallographic objectives. This is most often calculated as a microscope with a 160 mm tube and a 50 mm EPI illuminator. The "M" designation stands for "Metallurgical" and allows for operation without a coverslip.
This may be an objective lens that was part of a reflected light setup and was not mounted on a dedicated metallographic microscope, but on a standard biological microscope (e.g., Swift M1000) with an additional EPI illuminator.
