Description of this part for the microscope.

Carl Zeiss Jena Metaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Docuval
- Carl Zeiss Jena NU-2

There are several models of mechanical microscope stages from Carl Zeiss Jena designed for microscopes of the Mikroval series. They differ mainly in the placement of the control knobs used for movement in both axes, for example:
- the Ergaval model has a short handle with control knobs
- the Amplival model has a long handle
- some variants of the Laboval model had a stage without a handle with control knobs, where the knobs were arranged horizontally on both sides of the stage.

However, many of the individual components used in these stages are identical.

Many of these stages can also be used interchangeably with other microscopes of the Mikroval series, which means that many microscopes today no longer have their original stages. For this reason it is best to examine the photos carefully to make sure that the element shown and offered here will fit.

In the photo gallery there are detailed photos of this element together with the dimensions. Additionally, in the last photo an arrow indicates which element is being referred to and where it is located, in order to clearly identify this part.

Description of this part for the microscope.

a Zeiss microscope stage on which no model designation was provided. Over the years during which Zeiss produced such stages, numerous variants were created (I have personally seen five, for example Zeiss P/N 47 34 28 - 9901 https://www.microscopeparts.eu/microscope/282). Despite this variety, the construction is largely consistent, and most parts are identical.
It is therefore highly likely that the part shown and offered here is compatible with many variants of such microscope stages.

Such stages are interchangeable and can be installed in many Zeiss microscopes, however they are most commonly used in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Standard 14
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard GFL

Also often in:
- Zeiss Standard WL
- Zeiss Standard Universal

Note that there are two such guides in the stage. They are made of a soft, thin piece of brass sheet and are often damaged; the bearing rollers also frequently fall out of them.

Description of this part for the microscope.

The Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope has a modular design and by replacing individual elements it can be converted into other versions based on this platform, e.g. Amplival-Pol, Epival or Vertival.
After replacing the arm from a transmitted light version to one designed for reflected light, it is also necessary to supply light into the arm. This adapter is used for that purpose.

numbers. This microscope element bears the number 2480 (full designation: Si10 2480).

Inside there is a classic mirror reflecting light and a matte mirror diffusing light. Both are in very good condition.

Note - this base does not fit the first models of Carl Zeiss Jena Technival and Citoval stereomicroscopes, as they have a smaller stand foot.

The complete factory set consists of:
- transmitted light base
- wrist supports
- light source
Here I present and offer only the base - without wrist supports and without the light source.

Description of this part for the microscope.

micrometer scale: no
- dedicated for polarization: no
- material: brass
- mounting diameter: 71 mm

This stage fits the following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena L-Stativ
- Carl Zeiss Jena Lg
- Carl Zeiss Jena Lu
- Carl Zeiss Jena Lr
- Carl Zeiss Jena Lumipan

This Carl Zeiss Jena stage also fits microscopes:
- Lomo MBI-1
- Lomo MBR-3
- Lomo Biolam
- Lomo sold under the names Bresser and Zenith

If any of the above microscopes currently has a fixed stage (screwed), it is possible to retrofit a holder for interchangeable stages ( like this: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99175) - this applies to both Carl Zeiss Jena and Lomo microscopes.

From the 1930s to approximately the mid-1960s many German manufacturers produced microscopes with the same stage mounting standard, so this stage will also fit them.

How does compatibility of stages between Carl Zeiss Jena and Lomo microscopes work?
- Carl Zeiss Jena stages for L-Stativ microscopes have a mounting diameter of 71 mm
- Lomo stages for MBR-3 / MBI-1 microscopes have a mounting diameter of 73 mm
- The spring-loaded front screw and long side centering screws in the mounting holder compensate for these differences
- Carl Zeiss Jena stages are more solid, heavier, made of brass
- Lomo stages are lighter, made of aluminium with plastic elements

Note that although this is a round and rotating stage, it is not a polarizing stage. It does not have a micrometer scale to read how many degrees (0-360) the rotation has occurred. Without this scale it can of course be used for amateur observations in polarized light, however for professional applications this is disqualifying.

have an interchangeable objective turret.

This is an excellent solution for owning, using, and quickly replacing entire sets of objectives.

For example, you can have separate turrets already equipped with a complete set 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)

Therefore, having only one microscope we can use it for different purposes and not screw in and unscrew all the lenses manually each time.

This is the newest, matte version of the objective revolver. If you're looking for the glossy version, see here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/00736.

The dimensions, the function it performs and my knowledge of the design of both microscope models lead me to believe that both lenses are identical - but since they were physically removed from two different microscope models, they are listed separately in the database.

The photos show the dimensions and exact appearance of this component from various angles. The first photo also shows the lens's precise position within the microscope.

This lens provides an excellent, wide image, and because it doesn't require a cover glass, it's often used for macro photography and stacking.

Important - this lens is not suitable for taking photos using the "direct-projection" technique, as it requires plan-compensation optics.

A microscope objective with such low magnification is used, among others, in the following fields:
- tissue overview examination in pathomorphology
- observation of insects
- observation of minerals
- observation of inclusions in amber
- handwriting analysis
- observation of micromollusks
- and many others

Magnification: 32x
Correction: achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.4
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: yes, 1 mm (!)
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Ph1: phase contrast
LD: "long distance" meaning long working distance

Note: this is an objective for an inverted microscope, therefore it is corrected for observation through a 1.0 mm cover glass

It can be used with any inverted microscope from any manufacturer together with a compatible phase contrast condenser (or slider with phase rings). Of course the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.

It can very likely also be used with other inverted Zeiss microscopes (e.g. Axiovert 25).

Magnification: 10x
Correction: achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.22
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: indifferent
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Ph1: phase contrast

This specific unit was used in an inverted Zeiss ID 02 microscope, but I have also seen this objective model in Zeiss KF-2 ICS and Zeiss Axiostar microscopes.

Objectives with such low magnification (here 10x) can be used without a cover glass, with a cover glass, or for observation through thicker glass (e.g. through a Petri dish), therefore they can be used both in upright and inverted microscopes.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer together with a compatible phase contrast condenser (or slider with phase rings). Of course the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.

10x
Correction: Achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.24
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Info: PI = polarization-interference objective (red ring).

Compatible with the following PZO condensers:
- PZO KPI 2
- slit condenser
PI objectives are among the components of the PZO UPI set (i.e. the so-called DIC).

VERY IMPORTANT: the marking on the objective is "PI" (in lowercase: "pi"), meaning [P]-polarization [I]-interference.
In many descriptions available on the Internet, you can find information that this is a PLAN objective. This is an ERROR caused by misinterpreting the marking as PL.

Note: another INCORRECT piece of information often found online is that these are DIC objectives. This is not true.
DIC according to Pluta (niem: DIC nach Pluta), sold by PZO, achieves the DIC effect (i.e. a 3D relief image) using standard achromatic PZO objectives (and not only those). Objectives marked PI with a red ring are not required for this.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.

used, for example, in microscopes from Carl Zeiss Jena of the Mikroval series:
- Eduval
- Laboval
- Ergaval
- Amplival (entire series including Epival, Vertival, Amplival-Pol)
- Fluoval
- Metaval
- Telaval
- even Epignost

In microscope models with fluorescence illumination (e.g. Laboval Fluoreszenz or Fluoval), a filter wheel is installed in this head. When the manufacturer installed this head in other microscope models - a blanking plug was placed instead of the filter wheel - and this is exactly the element shown here.

Over the years, this element is very often lost and on the secondary market there are many such photo trino adapters without the blanking plug. The lack of this blanking plug can cause even large contaminants to enter the optics.

Numerical aperture: 0.10
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS

This lens provides an excellent, wide image, and because it doesn't require a cover glass, it's often used for macro photography and stacking.

Important - this lens is not suitable for taking photos using the "direct-projection" technique, as it requires plan-compensation optics.

A microscope objective with such low magnification is used, among others, in the following fields:
- tissue overview examination in pathomorphology
- observation of insects
- observation of minerals
- observation of inclusions in amber
- handwriting analysis
- observation of micromollusks
- and many others

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer. Of course, the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.
