Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 stereo microscope stand with rack and focusing knobs - photo gallery

This is description of this part:

Stand for Carl Zeiss Jena Technival-2 and Citoval-2 stereomicroscopes.

This is a complete stand consisting of the following elements:
- base (foot) (Si 2490)
- metal plate for the base, black on one side and white on the other
- vertical steel post (stand)
- rack gear of the vertical movement mechanism
- focusing block with adjustment knobs (manufacturer's catalog name: Mikroskoptrieb 65 mm)
- holder to which the microscope body is mounted directly.
In the operating manual (https://www.mikroskop-online.de/Mikroskop%20BDA/30-725-1%20%20TECHNIVAL%202%20%20CITOVAL%202.pdf), these elements are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 35 on page 4.

Please note that the original rack gear used in Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 microscopes is made of plastic and this component is very frequently damaged. If this particular element in your microscope has failed, Askania Mikroskop Technik Rathenow fortunately offers professionally manufactured brass rack gears for this microscope model (https://askania.de/products/zahnstange-messing-l-96mm).

Metal, cast or injection-moulded Carl Zeiss Jena parts carry their own identification numbers. This base (foot), into which the vertical stand post is screwed, bears the number 2490 (full designation: Si10 2490).

The Carl Zeiss Jena Technival and Citoval microscopes (older version without the number "2") are grey, while the Technival-2 and Citoval-2 models are white. This stand is white and is therefore intended for the newer Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 and Technival-2 stereo microscopes.

What is this part needed for?

• if you own a microscope without a stand, which is very common on the secondary market
• if you own a stand of another type (for example a horizontal one) but need a classic vertical bench stand
• if you own a stand that is incomplete, damaged or of very poor quality
• please note that if you only need the rack gear itself, the description contains the address of a company that sells brass replacement parts
