Hertel & Reuss Metall / Studio II - EPI microscope mechanical XY stage for reflected light - photo gallery

This is description of this part:

Mechanical microscope stage for work with reflected light (EPI) with a precise movement mechanism in two XY planes.

Mounting method: screw-mounted.
Specimen holder: no

In the place where stage clips normally hold the microscope slide with the specimen, there is a black matte insert covering the central opening in the stage, which makes it possible to work with reflected light. As visible in the photos and in the video - it can be pulled out, and then it becomes a "normal" stage for work with transmitted light (although of course it lacks the clips that hold the specimen slide).

This particular stage worked in a Hertel & Reuss Metall microscope. YES - "Metall" is the model name and not a statement that the microscope is made of metal. It is the same stage that is used in the Hertel & Reuss Studio II microscope and it can be used on both of these microscopes.
However, it is enough to measure the spacing of the screws that mount the stage to the microscope stand - and if they match - it can also be used with other microscope models.

Hertel & Reuss also produced microscopes that were sold under other brand names, so it is likely that this stage will also fit some microscope models sold under the names:
- Kosmos
- Humboldt
- Beck (CBS Beck Kassel)

What is this part needed for?

• if you have a microscope with a missing stage
• if you have a microscope with such a stage but it is damaged or of very poor quality and needs replacement
• if you have a biological microscope and want to convert it for EPI reflected light work and need the original blocking insert
• if you want to use this stage with microscopes from other manufacturers
• if you are building your own DIY device, for example for super macro photography, and need to manipulate an object with very high precision
