Osculate:

The 210mm tube length was used on some microscopes employing reflected
light (metallurgical microscopes, much less common than transmitted
light versions). Some old microhardness testers like the Tukon and
Kentron used a B&L monocular body with a triple turret having 10x, 20X,
and 40X (or maybe 50X?) objectives. These scopes and their objectives
occasionally turn up on eBay.
