The PZO KFL condenser is a universal microscope condenser with interchangeable discs. It can be fitted with both phase contrast and darkfield discs (which can be mixed). Each disc is focused to perfectly match the microscope objective. PZO KFL = "Fluorescence Contrast" is an accessory to the PZO fluorescence kit and was originally sold with the PZO Biolar FL and PZO MB30 FL microscopes, among others. It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer that accepts a 39.5 mm condenser, although the top lens can be replaced with a 37 mm lens.

*Note: The yellow stripe on PZO PhA phase contrast objectives sometimes turns orange over time.

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.

- two long screws for centering the condenser

This part is compatible with the following PZO microscopes:
- MB 30
- MB 30S
- MS 5
- ML 4
- ML 5
- ML 6

Note - This part is BLACK. Please note that the microscopes it is compatible with may have different paint colors.

Note - This part is from the PZO MB-30 microscope, so it has long screws for centering the condenser. It differs from the condenser holders of the MS and ML models in these screws; i.e., the MS and ML do not have such long screws for centering the condenser. Users of PZO MS and PZO ML series microscopes often replace their condenser holder with the one in the MB-30 to easily center the condenser, which is especially convenient when using the condenser for phase contrast.

Note - the gear rack on which this mechanism moves is NOT included in the kit.

mechanism. This block only includes a coarse (macro) feed mechanism.
More specifically, if such a block were complete, it would also include a fine (micro) feed module. This module is simply not included in the unit offered here. Therefore, it is an attractive component for those looking to repair a coarse (macro) feed.

- Black focusing block
- Coarse (macro) feed gear system
- Coarse (macro) feed knobs
- Coaxial fine (micro) feed knobs
- Tension adjustment mechanism

The tension adjustment mechanism is a very important component of a microscope. The PZO MB-30 and ML series microscopes move the entire column (the entire arm) up and down, and this resistance adjustment mechanism prevents the arm from lowering itself if additional components are installed, such as a DIC head or a camera on a trinocular head (as they constitute additional weight).

If you need a precise (micro) movement mechanism, which is missing here, if you need a complete focusing block, or if you need individual components from this block (e.g., a single gear or just the knobs), please contact us

For example, you can have separate turrets already equipped with the following sets of objectives:
- low magnification for observing macro objects with side illumination, without a cover glass (e.g., 2.5x / 3.2x / 5x / 8x / 10x)
- for phase contrast
- for various phase contrasts (positive, anoptral, amplitude, Zernike)
- for DIC
- for water immersion (e.g., Lomo)
- all for oil immersion (e.g., Leitz 10x Oil / 25x Oil / 40x Oil / 100x Oil)
- apochromatic for better color
- for polarization
- only high magnifications, e.g., for analyzing cell wall ornamentation (50x / 63x / 80x / 100x)
- for darkfield work (objectives with an iris diaphragm in the center)

Thanks to this , having only one microscope, we can use it for various purposes and not screw in and unscrew all the lenses manually each time.

This part is often damaged in PZO SK8 microscope stages: because the knobs extend beyond the microscope's outline after installation, the worm shaft often bends during transport, making it difficult to straighten properly.

The PZO SK8 is a mechanical microscope stage with horizontal knobs, primarily used in PZO MB30 microscopes, ML series models, and PZO MST-130/131 stereo microscopes - but is also sometimes installed in Studar and Biolar models.

Monocular microscope head for a fluorescence microscope
Model: PZO MNJ-4
Mounting method: dovetail, diameter 43 mm
Supported eyepieces: 23.2 mm
Mounted filter: OG1 / GG9
For microscopes: PZO Biolar FL and PZO MB-30 FL

Why are monocular microscope heads often used in fluorescence microscopy? Fluorescence microscopy (especially older designs) produces a relatively dark image, so it is beneficial for 100% of the light beam to reach a single eye. A binocular microscope head would split the light 50% to each eye, which could result in an image that is too dark.

The barrier fluorescence filter PZO OG1 / GG9 mounted under the microscope head protects the eyes from the harmful spectrum of fluorescence illumination.

Note - there is also a PZO GG9 fluorescence filter (also available in my catalog). It is important to select the correct filters for the appropriate applications.

The OG1 / GG9 filter is a separate element that can be detached from the microscope head. It is mounted under the microscope head in a dedicated slot provided for this purpose.

This repair part (service element / replacement part) comes from a binocular head PZO MND-6 which was originally mounted on the microscopes:
- PZO Biolar DIC
- PZO Biolar B

However, because the PZO MND-6 head has a standard mounting interface typical for PZO microscopes (that is a dovetail mount with a diameter of 43 mm), this head can also be found mounted on other PZO microscopes such as:
- Studar
- MB-30

Additional information: the fluorescence microscope PZO Biolar FL was originally sold with a mono head (monocular head) - however the PZO MND6 head also fits this microscope model.

Hinweis - this tube with prism DOES NOT FIT heads that were originally sold with PZO Studar microscopes, even though these heads look very similar. Of course if a head from the Biolar model was mounted on a Studar microscope (because it fits), then this tube will be compatible, because it is a repair element for the HEAD and not for a specific microscope model.

Color correction: Planachromat
Numerical aperture: 0.08
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

Cover Glass: yes, 0,17 mm
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Info: Ph = phase contrast

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer, along with a compatible phase contrast condenser. The microscope must be compatible, meaning it supports RMS objectives, TL = 160 mm, FL = 45 mm.

Correction: Achromat
Numerical aperture: 0.24
Tube length: 160 mm
Focal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: no
Immersion: no
Thread: RMS
Info: PI = polarization-interference objective (red ring).

Compatible with the following PZO condensers:
- PZO KPI 2
- slit condenser
PI objectives are among the components of the PZO UPI set (i.e. the so-called DIC).

VERY IMPORTANT: the marking on the objective is "PI" (in lowercase: "pi"), meaning [P]-polarization [I]-interference.
In many descriptions available on the Internet, you can find information that this is a PLAN objective. This is an ERROR caused by misinterpreting the marking as PL.

Note: another INCORRECT piece of information often found online is that these are DIC objectives. This is not true.
DIC according to Pluta (niem: DIC nach Pluta), sold by PZO, achieves the DIC effect (i.e. a 3D relief image) using standard achromatic PZO objectives (and not only those). Objectives marked PI with a red ring are not required for this.

It can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer that supports RMS objectives, TL=160 mm, FL=45 mm.
