This is the variant for viewing microfilms on 35-mm film from the "Mikrofot" projector. The optical scheme, number of lenses is the same, but this lens does not have a mount and was inserted in the projector. It does not have an aperture or focusing mechanism.
"Mikrofot" was equipped with two lenses: "Jupiter-12: for half-frame microfilms (24*18mm) and "Jupiter-8" for full-frame (24*36mm).
