This is description of this part:
Microscope objective RMS by Leitz Wetzlar (Leica) for phase contrast.
Basic parameters:
Manufacturer: Leitz Wetzlar Germany
Model: PHACO2 160/0,17 40/0,65
Leitz P/N: 519759
Magnification: 40x
Numerical aperture: 0.65
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm

Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Immersion: no (dry, air)
Info: phase contrast PHACO 2
The same objective model was also sold under the name "Leica" instead of "Leitz" on the housing, so these are in fact identical objectives. This objective also fits Will Wetzlar microscopes.
What is this part needed for?
- if your microscope lacks a 40x phase contrast objective
- if you have a 40x PHACO2 objective damaged or in poor condition
- if you have a microscope from any manufacturer that supports TL=160 FL=45 objectives, this is also a lens for you
