Due to their very high quality, they are often used with microscopes from other manufacturers, especially when Carl Zeiss Jena Planachromat objectives are mounted.

8x eyepieces are best suited for microscopes equipped with a head with a magnification of 1.5x or 1.6x. In such cases, using 10x or higher eyepieces can result in excessive magnification and sometimes poor image quality. In such cases, 8x eyepieces provide the best image and optimal magnification.

Gleitfett grades differ in their parameters.

Gleitfett I E10 and Gleitfett II E75 were supplied with the Carl Zeiss Jena micromanipulator.
The Gleitfett III E410 offered here was supplied with the Carl Zeiss Jena Neophot-21 microscope.

This MAY suggest (although I have no proof in the form of manufacturer documentation) that the lower numbers (I and II) and the lower values of the "E" parameter (E10 and E75) were intended for finer mechanisms - and may therefore have a lower viscosity, for example. The III E410 grease, with its high "E" value, was supplied with a heavy microscope built around massive mechanics - so it may well be thicker.

This grease can of course be used on microscopes from other manufacturers as well - a few are listed in the "compatibility" section, but that is by no means a complete list.

When attached to the Amplival model, this accessory can convert it into a microscope with EPI illumination.

The last photo shows an excerpt from the user manual describing this accessory.

Description of this part for the microscope.

This is a component of the transmitted light optical path - it is not a diaphragm for EPI reflected light.

This part fits various Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models built on the Amplival stand:
- Amplival
- Amplival Interphako
- Amplival Pol
- Vertival
- Peraval
- Fluoval
- Docuval

Description of this part for the microscope.

a CZJ Ergaval / Amplival microscope with a classic illuminator (6V 15W filament bulb) and simply replacing the bulb holder with the one offered here will create a halogen-illuminated microscope. No.
- the original holder of the "regular" bulb contains a lens that collimates the light beam
- the halogen bulb holder does not contain that lens
- Ergaval / Amplival microscopes designed for halogen illumination have an additional lens threaded into the base

Halogen illumination is (according to many experts) the best microscope illumination because it delivers strong light with a full spectrum, whereas LED often provides only a portion of the color spectrum.

Other used names:
- illuminator
- halogen lamp
- bulb holder
- lamp housing

Description of this part for the microscope.

an incandescent lamp illuminator. This lampholder is not required if you have a microscope with the original halogen illuminator - in that case, the collimator lens is a separate element mounted next to the field diaphragm.

Other used names:
- lamp holder
- lamp tube
- lamp support
- sometimes the German-language term "Lampenhaus" is used

Description of this part for the microscope.

integrated gear for adjusting the height of the microscope condenser, as well as a rack with the element on which the condenser holder is mounted.

Description of this part for the microscope.

a glass frosted filter (so-called ground glass) is located in the optical light beam path. It is mounted on a steel rod ending with a handle positioned outside the microscope base - at the rear, next to the place where the illuminator is inserted. This handle is used to insert and withdraw the frosted filter from the illumination beam path.

This design often leads to damage:
- the glass frosted filter is mounted on the rod in such a way that the glass frequently cracks
- the handle located at the rear of the microscope base very often breaks or crumbles
- the metal rod often jams and as a result of attempts to move it - bends

Here I present and offer this exact frosted filter with the complete movement mechanism:
- glass frosted filter (ground glass)
- holder for mounting the filter to the rod
- all necessary screws to attach this set to the microscope base
- plastic control knob for operating the ground glass

microscopes from other manufacturers, especially when Carl Zeiss Jena Planachromat objectives are mounted.

Description of this part for the microscope.

This diaphragm is necessary to set illumination according to the Koehler system.

This element is used in a diaphragm installed in various Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models built on the Amplival stand:
- Amplival
- Amplival Interphako
- Amplival Pol
- Vertival
- Peraval
- Fluoval
- Docuval

The field diaphragm located in the microscope base is part of the transmitted light path - it is not a diaphragm for EPI (reflected) illumination. However, it is VERY LIKELY that individual blades may also fit reflected light diaphragms and other diaphragms (e.g. aperture diaphragms) in Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes and condensers.

Damage to iris diaphragm blades is one of the more common failures in Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes. Most often this occurs when:
- the lubricant in the diaphragm opening / closing mechanism dries out and the user tries to move it by force
- a foreign object gets between the blades (e.g. a glass fragment from a chipped microscope slide)
- the diaphragm is closed too quickly or opened too far

In the event of an iris diaphragm failure, it is possible to:
- replace the entire element (condenser or diaphragm module)
- replace only the diaphragm
- repair the diaphragm by replacing the damaged blades

the microscope arm
- and a mounting screw

The mounting screw itself - as a separate component - fits practically most Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes based on the Amplival system:
- Amplival
- Amplival Interphako
- Amplival Pol
- Vertival
- Peraval
- Fluoval
- Docuval

Carl Zeiss Jena developed a complete modular microscope system based on connections made with this type of screw. Thanks to this design, the screw as a service part is also compatible with most accessories, modules and components that can be mounted to the microscope, including:
- EPI arms
- Parktaric Zoom Tube module
- Interphako heads

Important - carefully check the shape and dimensions of the screw to make sure it is the size you need. For example, the modular design of the Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed microscope is based on mounting screws of a different shape and size (search for it in this database for comparison).

Description of this part for the microscope.

4 mo2 condenser holder that was used in the Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval microscope. The same condenser (but with a different lower lens) is used in an identical holder in Fluoval microscopes. Condenser holders with such screws can also be found in the following microscopes:
- Docuval
- Amplival
- NU-2

The purpose of this spring screw is to push the clamp in which the condenser is mounted outward. Thanks to the spring integrated in the screw, it is possible to center the condenser using long centering screws (you can find such a centering screw in the database under number 99132).

In the last photo, an arrow clearly indicates which screw is meant and where it is mounted in the condenser holder.

There are several models of mechanical microscope stages from Carl Zeiss Jena designed for microscopes of the Mikroval series. They differ mainly in the placement of the control knobs used for movement in both axes, for example:
- the Ergaval model has a short handle with control knobs
- the Amplival model has a long handle
- some variants of the Laboval model had a stage without a handle with control knobs, where the knobs were arranged horizontally on both sides of the stage.

However, many of the individual components used in these stages are identical.

Many of these stages can also be used interchangeably with other microscopes of the Vertival series, which means that many microscopes today no longer have their original stages. For this reason it is best to examine the photos carefully to make sure that the element shown and offered here will fit.

Description of this part for the microscope.

used, for example, in microscopes from Carl Zeiss Jena of the Mikroval series:
- Eduval
- Laboval
- Ergaval
- Amplival (entire series including Epival, Vertival, Amplival-Pol)
- Fluoval
- Metaval
- Telaval
- even Epignost

In microscope models with fluorescence illumination (e.g. Laboval Fluoreszenz or Fluoval), a filter wheel is installed in this head. When the manufacturer installed this head in other microscope models - a blanking plug was placed instead of the filter wheel - and this is exactly the element shown here.

Over the years, this element is very often lost and on the secondary market there are many such photo trino adapters without the blanking plug. The lack of this blanking plug can cause even large contaminants to enter the optics.

Numerical aperture: 0.10
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS

This lens provides an excellent, wide image, and because it doesn't require a cover glass, it's often used for macro photography and stacking.

Important - this lens is not suitable for taking photos using the "direct-projection" technique, as it requires plan-compensation optics.

A microscope objective with such low magnification is used, among others, in the following fields:
- tissue overview examination in pathomorphology
- observation of insects
- observation of minerals
- observation of inclusions in amber
- handwriting analysis
- observation of micromollusks
- and many others

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer. Of course, the microscope must be compatible, i.e. support RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.
