Technical Specifications

Objective lenses

The objective lenses in the table below are installed in non-adjacent positions in the standard 6-position nosepiece for objective lenses with M25 threads. Objective lenses are not installed in all positions to prevent damage to adjacent lenses as the  objective lens is focused.

There is also a 10x HC PL APO CS2 0.4 NA (P/N 506424) air lens that can be installed in the standard nosepiece if required.
