supply:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss
Model: NAG 2...12V 100W
Catalogue number: 39 25 85
Input: 100-110-120-127-220-240 V
Output: 12 V
Output power: 100 W
Power connector: separate computer-type power cable
Potentiometer: yes, smooth brightness adjustment

Designed for any microscope illuminator using a light source (lamp) rated at up to 100 W and operating at 12 V. It is most commonly used with external HAL 100 halogen illuminators (so-called Lampenhaus units), for example in reflected-light EPI illuminators.

This power supply can be used with illuminators and microscopes from any manufacturer. Here are several configurations verified in practice:
- compatible with the PZO Biolar DIC microscope fitted with the PZO OH-1 halogen illuminator, replacing the PZO ZM-100 or PZO ZH-100 power supply
- if the internal power supply in the base of an Olympus BH-2 BHS microscope fails, the original halogen illuminator can be powered using this external Zeiss power supply
- compatible with the large external halogen illuminator used for reflected-light EPI illumination on Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival Pol and Vertival microscopes
- also compatible with the Reichert Zetopan microscope equipped with the LUX-US 12 V 100 W halogen illuminator

Note - different manufacturers and different illuminators may use different pin spacing in their 12 V connectors. It may therefore be necessary to modify the connector in order to connect it to this Zeiss power supply.

"Zeiss" logotype in the typeface used since the London Agreement of 1971
Material: plastic
Colour: the so-called "early light blue", used by the manufacturer until 1997
Dimensions: 27 mm x 27 mm
Mounting: the plate is glued on

This is an interesting variant of the logo plate. The square logo, introduced at the end of the 1970s, carried the lettering "West Germany" in its second line. The plate shown here does not have that lettering. It may well be a version produced after German reunification (1990) and before the new version of the logotype was introduced (1993/94).

Since the adhesive used to attach these plates to the microscope body loses its properties over the years, these plates sometimes fall off. Sometimes they are also deliberately prised out. Such a plate lets you bring your microscope back to its factory appearance using original parts.

the housing can crumble, crack or break. The remedy for such a problem is then the replacement of the whole head or of this housing part only.

Inside the housing there is the eyepiece shutter together with the knob for sliding it.

This is the housing of the head, not the housing of the microscope. The 452143 head itself fits directly on the Carl Zeiss Axioplan 2, Axioplan 2 imaging and Axiophot 2 microscopes, and with the 452969 adapter it is also used on Axioskop 2 stands. This part therefore fits every 452143 head, regardless of which microscope that head is working on.

The prism sits on a carriage and slides on rails - and this knob shown here is what moves it.
In the last photo an arrow shows where this part is located in the head, so that it can be identified without any doubt.

This particular knob was removed from a Zeiss 452143 microscope head - but most probably it also fits other heads of the Zeiss AIM systems and of Zeiss Axioplan 2 microscopes, for example:
- Zeiss 452142
- Zeiss 452143
- Zeiss 452145
- Zeiss 452146

These photo-trino heads are used, directly or through suitable adapters, among others in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Axioplan 2
- Zeiss Axioskop 2
- Zeiss Axiophot 2
- Zeiss AIM
- Zeiss Axiotech
- and probably others

Basic parameters of this tube:
Mounting to the trinocular head: with 3 screws
Overall length: 50 mm
Length protruding above the housing of the head: approx. 25 mm
Inner diameter: 30 mm - for use with photo / projection eyepieces of this diameter
Camera installation possible: yes, a so-called USB eyepiece can be mounted in this tube
Centering: yes, the mounted camera or eyepiece can be centered with three centering screws

VERY IMPORTANT: this short tube (it can also be called a holder of the photo projection eyepiece) is screwed to the head with 3 (three) screws. In the photo only 2 (two) are visible - and this is exactly the item I am offering here, because I lost one of the screws. It is a minor thing - but it has to be mentioned.
