Description of this part for the microscope.

eyepiece contains two lines in the field of view used for adjusting DIC interference fringes, but this is the only difference compared to an otherwise identical eyepiece used for adjusting phase contrast. Therefore it can be used:
- for adjusting DIC
- for adjusting phase contrast
- for observing the iris diaphragm
- for observing the filament when setting illumination according to the Köhler standard

This is one of those microscope elements for which many different names are used. Among others:
- phase telescope
- phase contrast telescope
- phase alignment telescope
- phase adjustment telescope
- phase centering telescope
- phase contrast centering telescope
- phase contrast alignment telescope
- phase contrast adjustment telescope
- centering telescope
- condenser centering telescope

Description of this part for the microscope.

the body only, without optics.

What is included: three parts - the lower sleeve that goes into the eyepiece tube of the head, the retaining ring that holds the lenses inside the housing, and the upper sleeve with the engraving
Material: all parts of the housing are made of plastic - this is unusual, because in eyepieces of this class the bodies are normally metal
Marking on the body: ZEISS West Germany CPL W 10x/18, number 464022-9901
Mounting diameter: 23.2mm - a standard eyepiece tube

This housing is not a replacement part for the microscope. It is a part for repairing a microscope eyepiece - and that eyepiece can be used in various microscopes, even from manufacturers other than Carl Zeiss. A few microscopes this eyepiece can be used with are listed in the "compatibility" section, but this is definitely not a complete list. It is safe to assume that the Zeiss CPL W 10x/18 eyepiece can be used with any microscope from any manufacturer whose head has a 23.2 mm eyepiece tube diameter.

The plastic this eyepiece housing is made of can be damaged in various ways. It often cracks, gets scratched, or deforms and partly melts from heat - the proximity of a bulb, a lamp or a soldering iron is enough, and very often the culprit is simply the cigarette held in the same hand that turns the focus knobs. In that case - especially when the optics inside are still intact - you can simply replace the housing with the one offered here.

5x
Magnification: 2.5x
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm

Please note: this is a "CF" projection photo eyepiece, meaning "Chrome Free" (chromatic aberration free). The eyepiece itself carries no chromatic correction - for correct results it has to sit in the microscope objective. In the case of Nikon, those are the CF (CFN) and CFI objectives.

The standard 23.2 mm mounting diameter allows it to be used in the projection tubes of many microscopes from various manufacturers - both biological and stereo ones.

It has to be said that this is a very universal projection eyepiece. In the "compatibility" section I list only a small part of the microscopes this photo eyepiece can be used with.

From the experience of people I know, only testing a projection eyepiece yourself on a specific microscope setup gives you certainty about how it will behave.

With every configuration - different objectives, a different tube length, a different photo adapter, camera, DSLR, sensor size - the user will get a different result.

This applies to tests both on microscopes with finite tube length optics (for example the Nikon Labophot with 160 mm optics) and infinity optics (for example the Nikon Eclipse E600 infinity), and both on older stereo microscopes (for example the Nikon SMZ-10) and somewhat newer ones such as the Nikon SMZ-1500.

Please note: PLI is a series of projection eyepieces assigned to the CFI60 system (optics corrected for infinity / "I" as in "infinity"). I have, however, personally seen eyepieces from this series used on microscopes with optics corrected for a finite tube length (160 mm, to be precise).

This eyepiece contains no chromatic correction lenses, so that correction has to be built into the objective (in the case of Nikon objectives these are the CF / CFN / CFI series).

The standard 23.2 mm mounting diameter allows it to be used in the projection tubes of many microscopes from various manufacturers - both biological and stereo ones. It therefore has to be regarded as a very universal projection eyepiece. In the "compatibility" section I list only a small part of the microscopes this photo eyepiece can be used with.
