camera with an Exakta connector, but I'm not sure about this. Everyone installs their own adapter, whether for a C-mount, M42, or other dedicated adapter (Olympus, Nikon, Sony, etc.).

The kit allows you to take microphotographs on CZJ Citoval and Technival stereo microscopes. It mounts between the tube with the magnification changer and the head.

This is the latest version in white.

Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Model: D42 15x
Magnification: 15x
Image: micrometer and X-crosshair
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm

The eyepiece features diopter adjustment and image sharpness adjustment on a micrometer slide.

Identical K15x eyepieces were also made by other manufacturers, such as Lomo and PZO.

numbers. This microscope element bears the number 2480 (full designation: Si10 2480).

Inside there is a classic mirror reflecting light and a matte mirror diffusing light. Both are in very good condition.

Note - this base does not fit the first models of Carl Zeiss Jena Technival and Citoval stereomicroscopes, as they have a smaller stand foot.

The complete factory set consists of:
- transmitted light base
- wrist supports
- light source
Here I present and offer only the base - without wrist supports and without the light source.

commonly used in following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Technival / Technival-2
- Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval / Citoval-2

Although such eyepieces were most commonly used in stereoscopic microscopes, they are often also used in biological microscopes, e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval or Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival. This eyepiece is compatible with almost any microscope from any manufacturer, provided that the microscope head supports eyepieces with a mounting diameter of 23.2 mm.

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.

illuminator)
Light source: 6V 25W halogen bulb, standard Narva HLWS5-A

This is a complete illuminator consisting of the following components:
- lamp housing with lenses for collimating the light beam
- light source with halogen bulb
- mounting holder for the Citoval-2 / Technival-2 microscope
In the user manual (https://www.mikroskop-online.de/Mikroskop%20BDA/30-725-1%20%20TECHNIVAL%202%20%20CITOVAL%202.pdf) these components are marked as items 7 and 8 on page 4.

Mechanically, this illuminator is mounted on an arm (illuminator holder), which can be clearly seen in the video attached to this description. This holder is attached to a special clamp located on the main objective.
The main objective of the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 microscopes has two such clamps, allowing two holders and therefore two illuminators to be mounted. This allows the observed object to be illuminated from both sides. This is exactly why many users look for an additional illuminator.

This illuminator requires a transformer. It uses a 6V low-voltage halogen bulb and therefore cannot be connected directly to a mains power outlet.

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 illuminator is white and is therefore intended for the newer Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 and Technival-2 stereo microscopes.

attach the microscope to the stand. In the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 microscope user manual (https://www.mikroskop-online.de/Mikroskop%20BDA/30-725-1%20%20TECHNIVAL%202%20%20CITOVAL%202.pdf, page 4), the stand component to which this rail is fitted is identified as part number 35.

This rail is often chipped or broken because it is made of a relatively brittle material, while the screw used to clamp it to the stand is made of steel (this can be clearly seen in the following photo: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/carl-zeiss-jena-citoval-2-technival-2-stereomikroskop-tischstativ-mit-fokussiertrieb-99477-7). An impact or even excessive tightening of this screw may cause this mounting rail to chip or break.

This microscope part can help solve the following problems encountered when using a Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 or Technival-2 microscope:
- if you own a microscope that was previously used without its stand or on a custom boom arm and no longer has this mounting rail
- if this rail has been chipped or broken due to impact damage or material fatigue and the microscope can no longer be securely mounted to its table stand

Interestingly, this mounting rail is also an excellent component for adapting a microscope from another manufacturer to a table stand originally designed for Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 microscopes. It is sufficient to attach this mount to the microscope body (mounting screws are included).

In addition, the last photographs in the gallery include an arrow indicating exactly which part is being offered and where it is located within the microscope, allowing this component to be identified unambiguously.

(12,5)
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm
Eyecups: yes, one pair

These eyepieces are most commonly used in the following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Technival / Technival-2
- Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval / Citoval-2

The Carl Zeiss Jena Technival and Citoval microscopes (older type without the number "2") are grey in colour, while the Technival-2 and Citoval-2 models are white. These eyepieces are white, which means they are intended for the newer versions of the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 and Technival-2 stereo microscopes.

parameters:
Filter colour: blue, matt
Function: NCB - converts the yellow light of the halogen lamp into naturally white light
Mounting diameter: adjustable from 25.5 mm to 26 mm

Mechanically, this filter is mounted on the front end of the halogen illuminator (over the light output opening). Its effect is to produce light with a colour similar to that emitted by a cool white LED.
