TM 8-227 c 3 TECHNICAL MANUAL METHODS FOR LABORATORY TECHNICIANS 4 ey CaS ida Measetominer No. 2 Waaninerpn 25,4), C., 1 April 1944. TM 8-227, 17 October 1941, is changed as follows: a 10. Use. ae. ae! * * * * a * 2 d. Adjustment of focus (Superseded).—The number on the objective indicates its "equivalent focal length" in millimeters. If the 16-mm objective were a simple converging lens, the equivalent focal length would also be its working distance (that is, the distance above the object when the lens is in focus) but, for a compound objective, the working distance is always much less than the equivalent focal length. For example, it will be found that the working distance of the 16-mm objective is about 5 mm, that of the 4-mm objective, less than 1 mm, and that of the 1.9-mm objective, less than 0.2 mm.
