Carl Zeiss Jena 23,2mm microscope photo tube | projection eyepiece and camera adapter, LOMO compatible - photo gallery

This is description of this part:

Carl Zeiss Jena photo tube / camera adapter - also fitting microscopes from other makers: LOMO, Meopta, Olympus, IOR.

The tube allows a camera or a camera body to be attached to a trinocular head or directly to the microscope body, even when there is no trinocular head.

Basic technical parameters of this tube:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Colour: grey
Tilt angle: none, this is a straight tube
Internal optics: none - not even a deflecting prism
Mounting to the trinocular head or microscope body: ring with a dovetail
Dovetail diameter: 41 mm
Type of connection at the output: empty tube / barrel
Tube diameter at the output: 23.2 mm internal diameter
Length of the barrel / tube: 25 mm
Length adjustment: no - this is not a tube with adjustable height

Since the adapter has an empty barrel with an internal diameter of 23.2 mm on the output side, a projection eyepiece of that diameter can be placed in it, or a so-called "USB eyepiece", that is a digital microscope camera. Adapters between the 23.2 mm barrel and the M42 thread are also widely available, and from the M42 thread you can move on to any other mount: Nikon, Canon, Sony and others.

Such a tube can be mounted directly on the microscope body instead of the head. A dovetail seat with a diameter of 41.0 - 41.5 mm is found, among others, on the microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena
- LOMO
- Meopta
- IOR
- Reichert Biopan
- Olympus CH

It is also often used in microscopes with a slightly larger seat, among others Zeiss West Germany, Leitz Wetzlar, PZO, Will Wetzlar, Hund Wetzlar.

The adapter can equally well be fitted onto trinocular heads, as many of them have a seat prepared for it, among others:
- the output in the trinocular tubes of the Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed, Jenaval, Jenalumar, Jenatech, Jenavert, Jenapol microscopes
- the LOMO TRN-1 heads (ЛОМО ТРН-1), found in the LOMO Polam microscopes
- some versions of the intermediate photo tubes for the Carl Zeiss Jena Mikroval series microscopes (others require a tube screwed onto a thread)

This is not a "tube for one specific microscope model". A trinocular head can be mounted not only on the microscope it was sold with - it is therefore correct to assume that this is a universal tube, with a 41 mm dovetail on one side and a 23.2 mm barrel on the other.

The "compatibility" section gives an example list of microscopes this tube fits, although it is not a complete list.
