computed
for
tube length 160, as well as
objectives
of primary
magnification
greater
than

computed
for
tube
length 170
(note the engraved values) can be used
on the DIALUX

.
The
following
data
are engraved on the
objective
mounts:
1 160 (170) : mechanical
tube
length.
The
distance

shoulder
of
the
objective
and the
rim
of
the tube.

specimens
under
a coverglass

should
be
ob-
served with these
objectives
. If the

(-)
specimens
may be observed
with
or
without
a coverglass.

"
If LEITZ eyepieces
of
conventional
design
(without
indication
of
the
field-
of-view index) are to be used, an ad-
ditional
TL
160
distance
ring (Fig. 14)
must be inserted.
The
field-of-view
of
an eyepiece is the
area
of
the
intermediate
image in the
tube
that
can be observed in
it
it
appears
magnified
by
the
eyepiece
factor.
The
diameter
of
the image
produced
by a GF 10x/18
eyepiece
therefore
ap-
pears as large as
that
of
an area
10 x 18 = 180mm at a
distance
of
250mm from the observer.
If the
diameter
of
the field
of
view
is
divided
by the
objective
magnification
(and any
tube
factor
involved)
(turret
1
x,
PLOEMOPAK
® 1.25x) the
diameter
of
the
object
area observed is
obtained.
With the previously
mentioned
GF 1
Ox/
18 eyepiece and a 25/0.55
objective
an
object
area
of
18
25
x
1
= 0.72mm
diameter
can
therefore
be observed. The final
magnification
of
the
microscope
is
based on the
following
formula:
Reproduction
ratio
of
the
objective
x
eyepiece
magnification
(x
tube
factor)
.
