4-1/8" DIA NEC TV PROJECTION LENS

Unused beauty. NEC TV projection lens. Designed for use in big screen TV projection systems. Front clear lens diameter of 4-1/8", rear clear lens diameter of 3 7/8", barrel length of 6 1/4" x 5 1/8" diameter (front) and 4 5/8" diameter (rear), multi-element (appears to be all glass as the lens assembly weighs 5 pounds), with coated optics. Black plastic barrel with 5/8" wide

notched front grip ring and 5 1/8" diameter x 3/4" wide barrel-center threaded mount. The lens projects a large image in a short distance. Great for education projects such as slide or transparency projector, etc in addi- tion to TV projection. Designed to be nearly in contact with subject sur- face. The number 542 is stamped on the barrel and may be the NEC model number. We haven't taken one apart, but it looks like different types of large diameter optical elements. Includes black plastic front and rear lens covers.

B&L STEREO RHOMBOID ARM

Made by Bausch & Lomb for their Model 240 Aerial Photo Interpretation Zoom Stereoscope. Catalog #53-70-28. Our understanding is that the instrument has two of these arms and optional stereo lenses that fit on the end (we have some). It's quite an interesting piece with lots of optics in it. If you look straight thru the top section, you get a clear upside down image. The top section rotates,

and the image rotates as well. If you turn it 180 degrees, the image becomes right side up and correct left to right. There is also a control that moves one of the lens assemblies and appears to zoom the image a little. Inside is a Right Angle Prism with 1 inch square faces. Also an elliptical front surface mirror, 16mm x 22mm, two cemented doublets, and 5 single element lenses. Clearly an expensive piece. If you have the Model 240 instrument, then you need two of these as spares. If not, then what a great optical piece to experiment with.
