Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival / Vertival simple microscope arm - photo gallery

This is description of this part:

Upper microscope arm of Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival. This element functions as a horizontal arm, on the end of which the microscope head is mounted from above, and the nosepiece is mounted from underneath.

Based on the Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope, whose modular design allows for various configurations, several microscope models were created:
- Vertival
- Epival
- Amplival Interphako
- Amplival Pol
- Fluoval
and these microscopes differ from each other, among other things, by different arms. The arm from the Amplival model has the simplest construction.

By owning different arms and one microscope - you can swap them according to your needs and use different functionalities, as if you had two microscope models.

This element consists of the following components:
- fixing screw securing the arm to the microscope body
- holder enabling the mounting of components with a 41 mm mounting diameter (e.g. binocular head)
- fixing screw securing this component (e.g. head). This element is very often damaged.
- guides (slides) enabling the attachment of an interchangeable nosepiece

A device with a matching mounting diameter that is placed on the arm from above can be, for example:
- head with a built-in inclined tube
- intermediate tube (German: Zwischentubus)
- magnification changer (Optovar)
- EPI reflected light illuminator
- polarization analyzer module
- and others, because as mentioned above, the Amplival class microscopes have a modular design and there are many accessories available for them

This microscope arm can solve the following issues related to Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival class microscopes:
- if your microscope is missing this element, which happens with microscopes available on the secondary market
- if you own another variant of a microscope from this class, e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival, and you want to convert it into a "regular" Amplival
- if you own such an arm, but it is of poor quality or has damaged individual components
- if you need one of the component parts of this arm
- if you are building your own DIY project and need a mount compatible with the Carl Zeiss Jena standard

On the last photo, an arrow indicates which element it is and where it is located in the microscope to clearly identify this part.

Important: The popular and visually very similar Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval microscope, which is often confused with the Amplival model, DOES NOT HAVE such a modular design and this arm does not fit it.

If you need any of the component parts of this arm (e.g. the large fixing screw securing the arm to the microscope stand or the smaller fixing screw securing the head to the arm - search this database or contact us by writing an email.
