The mirror is in excellent condition - however, in my opinion it is attached in an unusual way. Either the manufacturer used a large amount of adhesive to secure it properly - or somebody did this later during the years of use using a large amount of adhesive. Of course this has no effect on operation - operation is flawless - but I want to point this out.

is part of the component shown in the Leitz Dialux 20 microscope manual under number 18, which corresponds to the field diaphragm assembly. This page from the manual can be found in the image gallery.

The field diaphragm of the Leitz Dialux 20 microscope consists of:
- lens
- iris diaphragm
and is screwed to the microscope base (stativ foot) directly below the condenser.
The item offered here is exactly this lens.

This lens performs several functions:
- it collimates the light beam
- it protects the iris diaphragm from contamination
- it also serves as a filter holder for inserting filters

It is worth noting that this element may also be compatible with many other Leitz Wetzlar microscope models.

Leica
Light source connector diameter: 15 mm
Manufacturer catalog number: 10450398
Compatibility: the 15 mm connector fits light sources from Schott, Leica, Dolan-Jenner and other manufacturers using this standard

This element is used to transmit light through a fiber optic cable from a light source (illuminator) to a microscope XY stage. Such a stage is then used for transmitted light observation. A setup consisting of a light source - fiber optic light ring - XY stage was used for example in Leica DVM systems or in motorized Märzhäuser / Prior stages used in many microscopes, for example the Leica DM6000 microscope. This is a fiber optic light ring for a stage - not for one specific microscope, because such an illuminated stage can be mounted to various microscopes.

The Leica 10450398 fiber optic light ring with 15 mm connector can be used with the following light sources among others:
- Dolan-Jenner MI-150
- Dolan-Jenner MI-152
- Dolan-Jenner DC950H / HB
- Dolan-Jenner LMI-6000
- Schott KL1500
- Schott KL2500 LCD
- Leica KL1500 LED
- Leica KL300 LED
- KL models were also branded as Zeiss KL1500 / Zeiss KL2500

commonly used in following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Technival / Technival-2
- Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval / Citoval-2

Although such eyepieces were most commonly used in stereoscopic microscopes, they are often also used in biological microscopes, e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval or Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival. This eyepiece is compatible with almost any microscope from any manufacturer, provided that the microscope head supports eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm.

- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenapol
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenvert
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenatech
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalab

Interestingly, binocular heads with a 30 mm eyepiece mounting diameter are sometimes also installed in older microscopes of the Mikroval series (e.g. Ergaval and Amplival) - in such cases this eyepiece will also fit them, because - in general - eyepieces fit the head mounted on the microscope, not the microscope itself.

A single Carl Zeiss Jena PW 6.3x (25) eyepiece can solve the following problems:
- a second 6.3x eyepiece is missing to complete a pair
- a low magnification eyepiece is needed for use in a trinocular photo tube

Note - this model of microscope objective is very often used for macro photography and focus stacking. More information on this can be found at the end of this description.

Manufacturer: Lomo
Magnification: 3,7x
Model: 3,7 0,11
Numerical aperture: 0.11
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 33 mm
Cover glass: optional, can be used but is not required
Thread: RMS + Pol adapter
Info: P = Polarization

The RMS thread objective is mounted on a dedicated slide-in adapter that allows it to be used in Lomo MIN series and Lomo Polam series microscopes. Of course, the objective can be unscrewed and another objective can be mounted into the adapter.

The objective itself, once removed from the adapter, is a standard objective that can be used in virtually any microscope with an RMS thread. It is a so-called "short objective" (focal length 33 mm). When a 12 mm adapter is added, the total length becomes 45 mm, allowing it to be used with newer microscopes from any manufacturer.

Lomo polarization objectives with RMS thread can be installed in an RMS-M27 adapter and then used in microscopes such as Lomo Biolam M, Lomo Biolam I, Lomo Lumam, or Lomo ML-2. I have also frequently seen such objectives used in Zeiss Axio series microscopes with M27 thread.

The Pol adapter also allows precise centering of the objective relative to the entire optical path - this requires tools (keys / tools).

Info: I have repeatedly seen information stating that this RMS-Pol adapter is compatible with Leitz Wetzlar polarization microscopes - however, I have not personally verified this.

In summary, this objective is dedicated to Lomo MIN-1, MIN-4, MIN-5, MIN-6, MIN-8, Lomo Polam R-113, Polam L-211, Polam L-213, Polam R-311, Polam LMPR microscopes - but it is practically compatible with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports 160 mm objectives.

Additionally, this objective is very often used for macro photography even without a microscope. This objective does not require a cover glass and works in the "direct-projection" technique, meaning it can be connected directly to a camera without additional optics. This allows achieving a very high magnification scale and great depth of field across the entire image when using focus stacking. The fact that this is a polarization objective (i.e. stress-free optics without internal glass tensions) further improves image quality at high magnifications.

In summary, this objective is dedicated to Lomo MIN-1, MIN-4, MIN-5, MIN-6, MIN-8, Lomo Polam R-113, Polam L-211, Polam L-213, Polam R-311, Polam LMPR microscopes - but it is practically compatible with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports 160 mm objectives.

Additionally, this objective is very often used for macro photography even without a microscope. This objective does not require a cover glass and works in the "direct-projection" technique, meaning it can be connected directly to a camera without additional optics. This allows achieving a very high magnification scale and great depth of field across the entire image when using focus stacking. The fact that this is a polarization objective (i.e. stress-free optics without internal glass tensions) further improves image quality at high magnifications.

Description of this part for the microscope.

Manufacturer: Lomo
Magnification: 20x
Model: 20 0.40 P
Numerical aperture: 0.40
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 33 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm
Thread: RMS + Pol adapter
Info: P = Polarization

This is an objective designed for transmitted light work with a cover glass.

The RMS thread objective is mounted on a dedicated slide-in adapter that allows it to be used in Lomo MIN series and Lomo Polam series microscopes. Of course, the objective can be unscrewed and another objective can be mounted in the adapter.

The objective itself, once removed from the adapter, is a standard objective that can be used in virtually any microscope with an RMS thread. It is a so-called "short objective" (focal length 33 mm). When a 12 mm adapter is added, the total length becomes 45 mm, allowing it to be used with newer microscopes from any manufacturer.

Lomo polarization objectives with RMS thread can be installed in an RMS-M27 adapter and then used in microscopes such as Lomo Biolam M, Lomo Biolam I, Lomo Lumam, or Lomo ML-2. I have also frequently seen such objectives used in Zeiss Axio series microscopes with M27 thread.

The Pol adapter also allows precise centering of the objective relative to the entire optical path - this requires tools (keys / tools).

Info: I have repeatedly seen information stating that this RMS-Pol adapter is compatible with Leitz Wetzlar polarization microscopes - however, I have not personally verified this.

holder into which a round filter with a diameter of 32 mm can be inserted
- the hinged, tilting cover allows the light output to be completely blocked

This slide-in element is used in the following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert

Cast or injection-molded metal parts of Carl Zeiss Jena carry their own numbers. This microscope element bears the numbers 2645 (full designation: Si10 2645) and 2683 (full designation: Si10 CZ 2683).

By default, in the basic versions of the CZJ Jenaval microscope, a simpler version of this element is installed - only a slide with a filter holder, without a light blocking cover.

In models with EPI illumination (de: Auflicht), such as Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert and Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar, the transmitted light illuminator cover allows the transmitted light to be completely shut off when working exclusively with EPI illumination.

In the last photo in the gallery, the exact location of this element in the microscope is indicated with an arrow. This allows you to identify it precisely.

Manufacturer number: 425503-9901-000
Light split: 0/100 and 100/0

This trinocular photo tube contains a Zeiss infinity correction tube lens 425308-0000-000.

Parameters of the Zeiss 425308 lens:
Lens type: correction lens (en: infinity corrected tube lens)
Magnification: none (i.e. 1x)
Wavelength range: 380 - 700 nm
Diameter: 40 mm
Length: 12.8 mm
Thread: M36 x 0.75

The Zeiss tube lens 425308-0000-000 is required to use infinity-corrected Zeiss microscope objectives on microscopes from other manufacturers - including those designed for 160 mm tube length. It is also very often used in super macro photography to connect infinity-corrected objectives to a camera.

This element can be a solution to the following issues:
- How to repair or replace the prism in the Zeiss 425503 photo tube?
- What to do in case of prism delamination in the Zeiss 425503 head?
- Repair of a mechanically damaged Zeiss 425503 trinocular tube
- What to do if the Zeiss "tube lens" 425308 is damaged, scratched, or of poor quality?
- Can Zeiss objectives be used on microscopes from other manufacturers?
- Can infinity-corrected objectives be used on a 160 mm microscope?
- How to take super macro photos using infinity-corrected microscope objectives?

And once again at the end: carefully look at the photos. Note that this trinocular (photo tube) does not include a binocular eyepiece head.

This type of wooden storage case is very often used for storing other microscope models, not only those made by PZO.

Very important: this wooden case does not fit the PZO Biolar microscope. Very often PZO Biolar and PZO Studar microscopes are confused with each other. If you want to identify your PZO microscope model - contact us.

On the market, many different names are used for a wooden case for a microscope. These include:
- wooden case
- wooden box

This is an external electric illuminator for older type microscopes that use a mirror as a light source.

Mirror microscopes may have the mirror mounted vertically or horizontally, and this lamp (this illuminator) is compatible with both mounting types, as it has two mounting pins.

Note that this illuminator uses bulbs with a standard E14 socket, so an LED bulb can also be installed.

The PZO LM-2 illuminator has a place for a round filter with a diameter of 32 mm. Typically, the following are placed there:
- a diffuser to achieve uniform illumination
- a blue filter to convert the yellow, warm bulb light into a more white (cool) light
- or a blue diffuser to achieve both effects at the same time

Note - the PZO LM-2 illuminator is a so-called "simple" illuminator and does not allow achieving Koehler illumination. An external microscope lamp operating in the Koehler standard is called PZO LMK.

This is a universal microscope lamp and can be used with microscopes from many manufacturers.
