Description from the seller

Offered is a set of original Leitz Wetzlar microscope objectives, manufactured in Germany, a brand internationally recognized for its precision optical engineering and scientific heritage.
This lot includes multiple objectives with different magnifications and immersion types:

25x / 0.60 W
50x / 1.00 W
100x / 1.20 W
25x / 0.75 OEL (oil immersion)

Dimensions:

Height: approx. 45–55 mm
Diameter: approx. 23–26 mm
Thread: RMS (20.32 mm)
Parfocal length: 45 mm standard

These objectives were part of a working laboratory setup and were in regular use until approximately two years ago.
Optically, the lenses appear to be in good visual condition, with no obvious external damage. However, as they have not been tested recently, their current optical performance cannot be guaranteed.

Physically, the objectives are well preserved, showing normal signs of use consistent with professional laboratory equipment.

Standard RMS thread, compatible with a wide range of microscopes.

A great opportunity for:

- Collectors of scientific instruments
- Microscope enthusiasts
- Laboratories looking for classic high-quality optics
- Decorative or educational purposes

Note: Used condition. Previously functional, last used approximately 2 years ago.
Stored since then. No recent testing performed — sold as seen.
