This is description of this part:
Lomo Polarizing Microscope Objective. The lens was manufactured at the Progress factory - that's why the lens has a logo other than Lomo.
Perfect external condition and perfect optical condition. It's difficult to find a lens in this condition on the used market.
Manufacturer: Lomo
Magnification: 40x
Model: 40 0.65 P
Numerical Aperture: 0.65
Tube: 160 mm
Focal Length: 33 mm
Cover Glass: Yes, 0.17 mm
Thread: RMS + Pol adapter
Info: P = Polarization
This objective is designed for transmitted light work with a cover glass.
The RMS thread objective is mounted on a suitable insert, allowing it to be used with Lomo Polam, Lomo MIN-1 / Lomo MIN-6 / Lomo MIN-8 microscopes. Of course, the objective can be unscrewed and a different objective screwed into the insert.
The Pol adapter also allows you to center the objective lens along the entire optical path - but this requires tools.
Note: I've seen numerous reports claiming this RMS-Pol adapter is compatible with Leitz Wetzlar polarizing microscopes - but I haven't personally verified it.
What is this part needed for?
- If you have a polarisation microscope and need an objective lens with this magnification
- If you only need a slider to use with other objectives
