Only towards the end of its operations did Hertel & Reuss begin producing microscopes with objectives having a 45 mm focal length. These were the Hertel & Reuss Labopan and Superpan models. Previously, microscopes from this company used objectives with a 37 mm focal length.
This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided that it has an RMS thread and supports objectives with TL=160 mm. Several examples of such microscopes are listed in the „Compatibility“ section, but this is not a complete list.
What is this part needed for?
- if you have a Hertel & Reuss microscope without a 100x objective and want to complete it with original parts
- if you are looking for a good-quality 100x objective for a microscope from another manufacturer
- if you already have such an objective, but it is of very poor quality and you want to replace it with a working one
- if you want to keep such a rare objective in reserve
