consists of:
- an illuminator (light source)
- a "tube" containing collimating lenses and a field diaphragm
- a 90-degree angle mirror
- a light filter (clear or blue)

This offers an integrated block, also known as a "tube." It consists of:
- a metal tube with holes that acts as a heat sink, dissipating heat from the light source
- a set of lenses that collimate the illumination beam
- a field diaphragm (iris diaphragm)
- a knob that opens/closes the diaphragm

This element is the same for all lighting types, regardless of whether it's a 6V 15W bulb, a PZO OH1 (12V 100W) or a modified LED, so it fits any version of the PZO Biolar microscope:
- B
- B2
- GF
- Pol
- DIC
- EPI
- Fluoreszenz

It contains two critical components: a collimating lens that often cracks under temperature, and a field diaphragm whose blades are prone to bending.

- two long screws for centering the condenser

This part is compatible with the following PZO microscopes:
- MB 30
- MB 30S
- MS 5
- ML 4
- ML 5
- ML 6

Note - This part is BLACK. Please note that the microscopes it is compatible with may have different paint colors.

Note - This part is from the PZO MB-30 microscope, so it has long screws for centering the condenser. It differs from the condenser holders of the MS and ML models in these screws; i.e., the MS and ML do not have such long screws for centering the condenser. Users of PZO MS and PZO ML series microscopes often replace their condenser holder with the one in the MB-30 to easily center the condenser, which is especially convenient when using the condenser for phase contrast.

Note - the gear rack on which this mechanism moves is NOT included in the kit.

mechanism. This block only includes a coarse (macro) feed mechanism.
More specifically, if such a block were complete, it would also include a fine (micro) feed module. This module is simply not included in the unit offered here. Therefore, it is an attractive component for those looking to repair a coarse (macro) feed.

- Black focusing block
- Coarse (macro) feed gear system
- Coarse (macro) feed knobs
- Coaxial fine (micro) feed knobs
- Tension adjustment mechanism

The tension adjustment mechanism is a very important component of a microscope. The PZO MB-30 and ML series microscopes move the entire column (the entire arm) up and down, and this resistance adjustment mechanism prevents the arm from lowering itself if additional components are installed, such as a DIC head or a camera on a trinocular head (as they constitute additional weight).

If you need a precise (micro) movement mechanism, which is missing here, if you need a complete focusing block, or if you need individual components from this block (e.g., a single gear or just the knobs), please contact us

PZO logo and a circular illumination filter - the one offered here is colorless.

Some newer versions of the PZO Biolar microscope included a blue illumination filter mounted in the microscope base. This filter cut out the yellow color of the light emitted by the bulb, providing the user with a pleasant, near-white light.

Unfortunately, this filter is not replaceable, and when the light source is changed to a halogen or cold LED, the blue light filter becomes annoying, as the light color changes from white to blue.

If the user tries to remove the original light filter themselves, they often break either the filter or its black housing. This brings us to the point where it's worth having this part on hand - you can easily swap the blue filter for a colorless one.

NOTE - this part is originally heat-attached and held in place by melted plastic legs. After replacement, it's best to glue it in place.

This item fits the following versions of the Biolar PZO microscope:
- B
- Pol
- DIC
- EPI
- Fluoreszenz

Note - it likely will not fit the B2 or GF versions.

for storing, using, and quickly replacing entire sets of objectives.

For example, you can have separate turrets already equipped with the following sets of objectives:
- low magnification for observing macro objects with side illumination, without a cover glass (e.g., 2.5x / 3.2x / 5x / 8x / 10x)
- for phase contrast
- for various phase contrasts (positive, anoptral, amplitude, Zernike)
- for DIC
- for water immersion (e.g., Lomo)
- all for oil immersion (e.g., Leitz 10x Oil / 25x Oil / 40x Oil / 100x Oil)
- apochromatic for better color
- for polarization
- only high magnifications, e.g., for analyzing cell wall ornamentation (50x / 63x / 80x / 100x)
- for darkfield work (objectives with an iris diaphragm in the center)

Thanks to this , having only one microscope, we can use it for various purposes and not screw in and unscrew all the lenses manually each time.

6x (and 8x) eyepieces are best suited for microscopes equipped with a head with a magnification of 1.5x or 1.6x. In such cases, using 10x or higher eyepieces can result in excessive magnification and sometimes poor image quality. In such cases, 6x/8x eyepieces provide the best image and optimal magnification.

This part fits the following PZO Biolar microscope versions:
- B
- B2
- Pol
- DIC
- EPI
- Fluoreszenz

Note - most likely it does not fit the GF version.

It is an original "from the era" part, coming from a disassembled PZO Biolar microscope.

maintenance (especially cleaning) of this element is required. Since PZO Biolar microscopes are 40-50 years old, it is now possible to find units without this cover, as it was lost over the years.

This metal cover also acts as a heat sink and dissipates heat from the bulb - this can sometimes be seen as discoloration on the inner surface of the metal. For this reason, replacing it with an element made of cardboard or plastic is a very bad practice.

Without this cover, contaminants can enter the optical light beam, the angled mirror, or the field diaphragm, which may, for example, cause diaphragm failure or deterioration of image quality.

This element fits the following versions of the PZO Biolar microscope:
- B

Monocular microscope head for a fluorescence microscope
Model: PZO MNJ-4
Mounting method: dovetail, diameter 43 mm
Supported eyepieces: 23.2 mm
Mounted filter: OG1 / GG9
For microscopes: PZO Biolar FL and PZO MB-30 FL

Why are monocular microscope heads often used in fluorescence microscopy? Fluorescence microscopy (especially older designs) produces a relatively dark image, so it is beneficial for 100% of the light beam to reach a single eye. A binocular microscope head would split the light 50% to each eye, which could result in an image that is too dark.

The barrier fluorescence filter PZO OG1 / GG9 mounted under the microscope head protects the eyes from the harmful spectrum of fluorescence illumination.

Note - there is also a PZO GG9 fluorescence filter (also available in my catalog). It is important to select the correct filters for the appropriate applications.

The OG1 / GG9 filter is a separate element that can be detached from the microscope head. It is mounted under the microscope head in a dedicated slot provided for this purpose.

for storing, using, and quickly replacing entire sets of objectives.

For example, you can have separate turrets already equipped with the following sets of objectives:
- low magnification for observing macro objects with side illumination, without a cover glass (e.g., 2.5x / 3.2x / 5x / 8x / 10x)
- for phase contrast
- for various phase contrasts (positive, anoptral, amplitude, Zernike)
- for DIC
- for water immersion (e.g., Lomo)
- all for oil immersion (e.g., Leitz 10x Oil / 25x Oil / 40x Oil / 100x Oil)
- apochromatic for better color
- for polarization
- only high magnifications, e.g., for analyzing cell wall ornamentation (50x / 63x / 80x / 100x)
- for darkfield work (objectives with an iris diaphragm in the center)

Thanks to this , having only one microscope, we can use it for various purposes and not screw in and unscrew all the lenses manually each time.

in the terminology of PZO the name "MPI5" has two meanings, which causes some confusion:
- MPI5 is the name of a DIC microscope based on the PZO MB-30 stand, KPI-2 condenser and the DIC head model MPI3
- MPI5 is also the name of the latest DIC head that is part of the PZO UPI set (PL: Urzadzenie Polaryzacyjno-Interferencyjne)
