Zeiss Standard WL / Universal microscope condenser holder with toothed rack, focusing knob, centering screws - photo gallery

This is description of this part:

Complete condenser holder assembly for Carl Zeiss microscopes.

This condenser holder assembly fits the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Photomicroscope (the so-called Zeiss Phomi)
- Zeiss Standard WL 89
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Ultraphot (although the original holder in this model is black)

This complete module consists of the following parts:
- the section with the condenser focusing knob for height adjustment, mounted onto a dovetail guide using a quick-release clamping mechanism
- the condenser holder with a toothed rack, condenser retaining screw and two centering screws
- a swing-out holder for a 32 mm round filter
- a swing-out wide field lens used to provide even illumination of the specimen when observing with low-magnification objectives

This holder accepts condensers with a dovetail mount – it is not intended for condensers with a diameter of 37 mm or 39.5 mm.

The image gallery contains detailed photographs of this part together with its dimensions.
In the last photograph, an arrow indicates where this part is located inside the microscope.

Additionally, the video gallery contains two videos: the first presents this part from different angles, in close-up views, and demonstrates the movement of its moving components, while the second video shows, among other things, how to remove this condenser holder from the microscope body using a Zeiss Photomicroscope II as an example.

The Zeiss Universal, Zeiss Ultraphot, the earliest versions of the Zeiss Standard WL, and the first model of the Zeiss Photomicroscope were originally factory-equipped with this component in black.

The Zeiss Photomicroscope II, Zeiss Photomicroscope III, and the later versions of the Zeiss Standard WL were factory-equipped with this component in grey.

The colour of this component has no effect on compatibility. In other words, a component of either colour fits all of the microscope models listed above.

The component presented here is grey.
If you're looking for the gray version, it's listed in this database under number 99606.

• if you have a microscope in which this holder is missing
