This is description of this part:
PZO microscope objective 5/0.15 - a model used in microscopes, but also very often used for macro photography.
Basic technical parameters:
- Manufacturer: PZO Poland
- Model: 5/0.15 160/-
- Alternative model marking: 5/0.15 160/0
- Magnification: 5x
- Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.15
- Correction: achromatic
- Focal length FL: 33 mm
- Tube length: 160 mm
- Cover glass: not required, but may be used
- Immersion: no (dry objective)
- Thread: RMS
This model has a metal housing with no lens at its end. Additionally, this housing can be unscrewed without affecting the operation of the objective - resulting in a relatively large working distance of more than 20 mm.
Three features:
- large working distance exceeding 20 mm
- exceptionally high numerical aperture N.A. of 0.15
- achromatic correction allowing direct projection use
make this relatively uncommon model very frequently chosen for macro photography using a microscope objective connected to a camera (focus stacking).
The fact that this objective has FL = 33 mm allows it to be used with microscopes from other manufacturers, including:
- Lomo Biolam
- Lomo MBB-1A
- Carl Zeiss Jena LG / Lu / Lumipan
- Carl Zeiss Jena Nf
- Olympus CH
Note! Please note that the FL = 33 mm focal length means that this objective DOES NOT FIT the following microscopes:
- PZO Biolar
- PZO Studar
Early versions of this objective (with low serial numbers) have the engraved marking 5/0.15 160/0 suggesting that the objective is intended for use without a cover glass. This is true, but more precisely this objective can work both without a cover glass and with one. In newer versions the engraving already reads 5/0.15 160/- where this "minus" already means "indifferent".
What is this part needed for?
- if you need a high resolution objective for macro photography
- if you need a 5x microscope objective with high numerical aperture
- when you need a good quality 5x objective for an inverted microscope
