Hi
Have a Leitz objective marked
Leitz Phaco 2 NPL Fluotar 50 X / 1.00 Oel RK
Wonder about what RK stand for ?

Hello Pär... good to see you over here. Why not throw in a picture occasionally
My guess is that the objective you have was designated as one to be used for a method called Reflection Contrast Microscopy (RCM). In German it would be Reflexions-Kontrast, so perhaps that is where the "RK" comes from.
It was never that common, and required additional components on the microscope. If you Google "Reflection Contrast Microscopy, RCM" you will find a Leica-Microsystems link to a pdf that describes it in detail.

Hi Charles !
Thanks - will focus on one group
and this one fit better i think
Yes you might have a point on that i could
be Reflected Kontrast , but did not Leitz have
the ICR adatpers for that ?
Amd the ICT for transmited light (have a lot of them)
Do they have Special Designed Objectives to ?
(the one i have with RK marked)
Never see that in any paper from Leitz
