LOMO PLC has finished designing of four micro-objectives of new generation, intended for endless length of tube.

   New objectives "with endless length of tube" are intended for using in microscopes of large series. They distinguish from their predecessors by a very important advantage - during their appliance the length of tube of microscope isn't a definite factor in the process of designing. This novelty has a sufficient significance, because it will allow simplifying optical schemes of devices and widen tolerances for producing of separate details. This fact will significantly rise productibility of microscopes.

   Although transition on "endless length of tube" has become an obvious tendency in the world microscope engineering, today LOMO is practically a sole firm, planned to apply this novelty at the devices of large series. Both the St. Petersburg enterprise and other world leading manufactures have an experience of mastering of new micro-objectives, but mainly it was applied in more complicated and expensive models.  Today LOMO specialists were succeeded to solve the task of producing of simple and cheap, but at the same time qualitative objectives "with endless length of tube".

   It's planned to produce trial samples of new devices during summer. Decision about its regular production will be taken on the results of testing. If it is positive, new microscopes of large series, which must replace devices "Micmed-1" in the nearest time, will be completed by micro-objectives.
