That 63X .80 SPL, was actually a 34mm parfocal AO objective, designed for the first generation AO/Reichert infinity system. All were branded Reichert or Reichert-Jung, since the corporate name was changed about the time it was released.
The lateral c.a. is different between that system and the later Reichert infinity system. I am assuming it didn't work very well in a Polyvar?

It actually works pretty well I'm just not normally going past 40X much these days. I've seen one in the wild (other than mine) that also had the M28 adapter so I'm assuming others also used it with the Polyvar.

The Reichert-Jung 63X - 0.80 - oo/0.17, is that an immersion objective?

Pretty sure it's dry.

I will consider any reasonable price. I'd rather they went to a good home and got some use instead of just sitting around here.

Updated the listing with more items.

At some point I may be interested in the Polyvar compatible EPI lenses, provided that I first find a reasonably priced IK prism/compensator for the EPI setup (plus other items it may require to be fully functional).
