Zeiss Jena GF Planapochromat 25X Question

#1 Post by MWK » Sun May 15, 2022 8:56 pm

Does anyone know what the 'A' stands for beside the coverslip thickness (0.17)?

I noticed that it's either "A" or "C" like this example. Only Zeiss seems to do this. Perhaps "C" means "Corrected"? But still don't know what the "A" stands for.

Correct. A means it is cf-250 and internally corrected, C means it needs corrections.
