PL Fluotar 32x / 0.75 Metallurgical Microscope

$1,100.00

This is a spectacular condition Leitz (engraved ‘LEICA GERMANY’) semi-conductor microscope objective. It is a Plan 32x, infinity corrected optic, and must be used only on uncovered specimens. The objective is spring-loaded for protection of the front lens.

The lens has a relatively high numerical aperture of 0.75, and is highly corrected for flatness of field up to a 28mm field-of-view index, as well as very high color correction. The Fluotars are bested only by the Apochromats. The lens mounting thread is standard RMS which makes this lens suitable for earlier instruments such as the Ergolux, Metalloplan, and others which used RMS nosepieces. It may be used on more recent 32mm thread instruments via a type 562 281 adapter ring (not included).

Nomenclature is on an engraved ring which may be rotated on the objective for optimal visibility when installed on a nosepiece. Leitz part number of the objective is 567 052. It was specifically manufactured for KLA inspection stations, and there is a KLA serial number engraved on the side of the objective (596).

The lens is in superb condition – no marks of any sort on the glass, and the barrel is free of blemishes. This listed at close to $4500 in the 1996 Leica Master Price List.
