Long working distance microscope objective PLAN HR 10X

KRAMER SCIENTIFIC KSC 190-975 (HR 10x/0.45 ~/0 f=200) -- Serial 10026

High Resolution PLAN APOCHROMATIC long distance working microscope objective FOR DISCRIMINATING MICROSCOPE WORK

Better resolution than its counterpart, the Mitutoyo PLAN APO HR 10x ($6,860 actual tag price). Probably UV/NIR ready (read further).

MANUFACTURED BY "Kramer Scientific", a specialized optical company which makes custom-made scientific optics for top notch industry discriminating work. They build top of the line custom-made microscope systems and help with parts along with other companies like CARL ZEISS. It has exactly the same thread and aprox. the same size as MITUTOYO LONG WORKING DISTANCE objectives (see attached photos to compare with Mitutoyo objective).

This one reaches a HIGHER resolution (higher "NA" number) that the Mitutoyo counterpart, which costs $6,860.00. It reaches higher NA=0.45 (Mitutoyo reaches NA=0.42), and probably it originally costed more than the Mitutoyo counterpart. Maybe around $8,000-$9,000.

I don't know for sure if it is UV/NIV ready, but I wouldn't be suprised of it. Glass coating reflections under strong light are unlike other M plan APO Mitutoyo UV/NIR non-compliant objectives (like the one in the photo), which points towards a definite difference here... it could be ready to work on those wavelenghts, but I cannnot assure it.

A complete scrutiny reveals ABSOLUTELY NO delamination/fungus/scratches on the lenses, which are in "like new" condition. Optics are mint, and reveal absolutely no micro scratches on surfaces. The superb multicoatings on the lenses are pristine with no detectable defects.

DEFECTS FOUND, there is only a small surface knock at the top, on the metal portion at the light incoming end (see third photo, at 1 o'clock), which doesn't affect the optical/mechanical condition/performance at all.

Tested under microscope to work great.

This item is guaranteed as described or you get a full refund (see return details).

I have set a very LOW reserve price, given the +$7000 original cost.
