Zeiss 8x / 0,2 Pol Epiplan (added list of objectives)

[Mr.Stone]

This weekend i got quite lucky, i bought about 40 microscopes, and some 47 loose objectives and there must be well over 30 eyepieces and alot of other stuff.
One objective that stood out from the rest was a Zeiss 8x / 0,2 Pol Epiplan Microscope Objective.

Anyone have any idea if this would be good for stacking?

Irony of all this, i was really looking for a nikon 10x objective!!! no luck tho, jus two nikon objectives, one a 100x and the other a 1/4 x

Im still quite happy tho, i now have more then enough focus blocks to build a really good setup

Zeiss 8x / 0,2 Pol Epiplan Microscope Objective.

With its microscope, yes. On bellows likely no:
- if it's finite corrected (160) it needs a corrective KPL eyepiece to complete its aberrations corrections.
- if it's infinite corrected it needs a corrective Zeiss tube lens to complete its aberrations corrections. (I have not actual experience with infinite Zeiss but I did read it in the forum).

Any olympus spares in the lot ?
I have a stripped fine focus gear on my focus block

[Mr.Stone]

Thank you for the info Pau, i lost this objective among all the others and have not had time yet to look if it is finite or not. A bummer tho!! Ill stick it on the wild and see if its worth it, if not ill sell it.

Rusty, i do not have any olympus focus blocks here, but if you can send me a picture perhaps then i can look if i cant find something that might help you. Worth a try. Strange tho as there are quite a couple of olympus x/y stages.

You haven't got the wrong end of the stick about this stacking business, have you?

Meaning that 40 microscopes piled on top of each other would be quite a stack !
