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

for taking microscope photographs or recording microscope videos. This is a gray photographic adapter.

Basic technical parameters:
- mounting connection to microscope stand: 41 mm dovetail
- output connection type on the photo port: 49 mm internal thread
- connection for binocular head mounting: Jena standard 41 mm dovetail
- magnification directed to the binocular head: 1.6x
- magnification on the photo output: none (that is 1.0x)

Because this photo head has a 49 mm threaded output, virtually any device, camera, adapter, tube or other accessory can be connected after using an appropriate 49 mm thread adapter. Direct projection technique may be used (because there is no additional optics inside), or any projection eyepieces may be installed in the optical path.

This photographic attachment is intended mainly (but not exclusively) for the following microscope models:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Eduval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Laboval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival
- Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival
- Carl Zeiss Jena Epival
- Carl Zeiss Jena Metaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Telaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Pictoval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Epignost

The list above contains Mikroval series microscopes with gray housings - just like the tube shown and offered here. However, it also works with older black Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena L-Stativ (models Lg, Lu and Lr)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Lumipan
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ng
- Carl Zeiss Jena Nf (and NfPk)

Please note that microscopes from other manufacturers also use the 41 / 41.5 mm dovetail connection standard. Because of this, this photographic head can also be used with microscopes made by:
- Lomo (for example Lomo Biolam)
- Meopta
- IOR
- selected Reichert microscopes (for example Reichert Neozet)
- Will Wetzlar
- Hund Wetzlar
- Leitz Wetzlar

This Carl Zeiss Jena tube is also very often used with microscopes having a larger head mounting diameter. In such cases users apply additional spacer or thickening rings. Because of this, this photo adapter also fits microscopes from manufacturers such as:
- PZO (for example the PZO Biolar model with 43 mm connection)
- Olympus (for example the Olympus CH model with 42 mm connection)

The element that allows a photographic camera or imaging camera to be connected to Carl Zeiss Jena Mikroval series microscopes may be referred to by different names. Commonly used names include:
- trino head
- trinocular head
- photo head
- photographic head
- photo attachment
- photographic attachment
- photo adapter
- photographic adapter
- photo tube
- photographic tube
- phototube
- photographic angle tube
- and various combinations of the words head, attachment, adapter or tube with terms such as photo, photographic, for camera and similar

unscrewed. It is mounted onto the dovetail guide located underneath the microscope stage carrier and secured with a clamping screw.

Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval microscopes were originally equipped with a condenser attached to the "MO" holder. This holder has a permanently mounted iris diaphragm and wide-field lens, while the condenser itself is screwed into the upper thread. In this configuration, the condenser cannot be exchanged.
The Carl Zeiss Jena Fluoval uses a similar arrangement, whereas the Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival was originally equipped with a panchromatic condenser.

If the user wishes to use other condensers (including those made by manufacturers other than Carl Zeiss Jena), the original condenser holder must be replaced with the MZ condenser holder. Once this has been done, any microscope condenser with a mounting diameter of 39.5 mm can be installed. Condensers with a 37 mm mounting diameter can also be used if they are fitted with a suitable adapter ring.

This is exactly such a holder for interchangeable condensers.

Basic specifications:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Original documentation name and model: Kondensor-Einhänger MZ
Colour: grey, the version manufactured for the Mikroval microscope series
Internal diameter: for mounting condensers with a 39.5 mm mounting diameter (for example the Carl Zeiss Jena cardioid darkfield condenser)
Condenser retaining screw: yes, central condenser clamping screw
Centering screws: yes, two condenser centering screws
Microscope mounting: dovetail

Although this component is grey, it is also compatible with older black Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes from the 1950s and 1960s (it simply will not look completely original unless it is repainted).

This condenser holder is compatible with, among others:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ng (black microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Polmi-A (black microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Nf (black microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Nu (the NU-2 version is grey)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval (grey microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Fluoval / Fluoval-2 (grey microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival and its variants (grey microscope)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Docuval (grey microscope)

Various names are used for this microscope component, including:
- condenser holder
- condenser carrier
- condenser mount
- condenser support

The last photograph includes an excerpt from the original manufacturer's documentation. An arrow indicates this exact model of condenser holder, making it easy to identify the component.

diameter: 23.2 mm

This eyepiece allows the microscope image to be projected onto a surface such as a wall, ceiling or projection screen.

Originally, this eyepiece model was supplied with the Carl Zeiss Jena Pictoval projection microscope. It can also be installed on virtually any microscope from any manufacturer with a 23.2 mm eyepiece tube.

Important: Projecting a microscope image requires a very large amount of light, so a high-power illuminator is necessary.

Description of this part for the microscope.

head in Carl Zeiss Jena Pictoval projection microscopes (microprojectors). The adjustable tilt angle of the eyepiece tube, which held a projection eyepiece (usually f=100), allowed the position of the projected image on the projection surface to be changed.

Basic parameters:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Eyepiece mounting diameter: 23.2 mm
Mounting to the microscope arm: 41 mm diameter dovetail ring

Because this microscope head has a Carl Zeiss Jena standard microscope mount (a 41 mm diameter dovetail ring), it can be mounted on most microscopes from this manufacturer (e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Eduval, Laboval, Ergaval, Amplival, etc.), as well as on microscopes made by Lomo (e.g. Lomo Biolam), IOR and Meopta.

It seems useful to mention a few points:
- never look through this microscope head with the naked eye if a projection eyepiece is installed in it and the head is mounted in a Carl Zeiss Jena Pictoval microprojector. This may result in loss of eyesight due to the very high light output emitted by this microscope
- when mounting this microscope head on a microscope other than a Carl Zeiss Jena Pictoval, a different magnification scale may be obtained than with the original heads designed for the particular microscope model
- projecting a microscope image requires a great deal of light, i.e. a powerful illuminator. This is worth remembering if you intend to use this head to project an image from biological microscopes with standard incandescent illumination (e.g. 15 W 6 V), which is definitely not sufficient
- visual observation using this microscope head may be inconvenient because it has a different (smaller) tilt angle than standard monocular or binocular microscope heads
