Description: Vickers Microplan 10× Microscope Objective

This is an objective lens—part of a microscope optical system—rather than an entire microscope unit. The specific lens in question is marked "Vickers England MICROPLAN 10/0.25 + PH.1", indicating a 10× magnification and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.25. The “PH.1” denotes that it includes phase-contrast capabilities

Typical length around 37–39 mm, and weight in the range of 58–63 g

Usage and Value These objectives, with their phase-contrast capability, were designed to be used with microscopes that support such optical techniques. This objective would typically fit an RMS-threaded turret, common in Vickers, Cooke‑Baker, or similar stands

The phase ring (PH.1) allows enhanced imaging of transparent specimens, by shifting phase differences into contrast—ideal for biology or unstained sample observation.
