08 160/-
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

This particular screw was removed from a Zeiss Standard 14 microscope, but it will most likely fit most models of the Standard series, for example:
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard WL 89
- Zeiss Standard Universal
- Zeiss Standard Photomicroscope
- Zeiss Ultraphot

Note - over the years, Zeiss microscopes (or the same microscopes sold under the Zeiss-Winkel name or under the Opton brand), especially simpler models such as the Zeiss Standard Junior, used different types of head-retaining screws. These were not necessarily spring-loaded screws - in some cases ordinary threaded clamping screws were used instead.

Before deciding to replace the screw in a microscope, it is best to carefully compare its appearance and dimensions with the photographs in the gallery or ask a question on the forum https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/

field lens (Zeiss P/N 47 30 68). It can be installed in the tube between the objective nosepiece and the observation head. The lens is operated by a lever protruding from the side of the tube. In the manufacturer's documentation, this lever is referred to as "Switch to turn axis, e.g. with wide field changer 0.8x-1x". If this optional microscope component is not installed, the opening intended for the lever is closed with a plastic blanking plug additionally secured by a retaining screw. This listing includes exactly that end cap and screw.

This particular cover was removed from a Zeiss Standard 14 microscope, which is not normally equipped with the lever-operated lens. However, it will most likely fit the majority of other Standard series models, for example:
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard WL 89

The blanking plug itself carries the catalog number Zeiss 47 30 65 (alternative notation: Zeiss 473065) and is described as an "intermediate tube cover element".

Not only is this plastic cap frequently lost over the years, but the lever itself or the lens assembly may also become damaged and require removal. In such cases, this blanking plug should be installed to protect the microscope optics from dust.

In the last photographs in the gallery, I use arrows to show exactly which microscope component is being offered and where it is located within the microscope.

supply:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss
Model: NAG 6V 20W stab.
Catalogue number: 45 84 15 - 9901
Input: 100-120-230-240 V
Output: 6 V
Output power: two outputs. It can supply either 2 × 10 W or 1 × 20 W
Power connector: separate computer-type power cable
Potentiometer: yes, smooth adjustment

This power supply has a maximum output power of 20 W and provides two outputs, allowing two 10 W illuminators to be connected and operated simultaneously.

However, it is a universal power supply and can be used with any microscope illuminator using a light source (lamp) rated at up to 20 W and operating at 6 V. Since most Zeiss microscopes use 6 V 15 W lamps, this power supply is suitable for virtually every microscope equipped with such illumination.

This power supply is most commonly used with microscopes employing 6 V 10 W halogen lamps, where both the transmitted-light illuminator and the reflected-light EPI illuminator are connected to the same power supply. Examples include:
- Zeiss D / DR / DRC / SV (Stemi) stereo microscopes
- Zeiss KF-2 biological microscope
- Zeiss ID2 inverted microscope

Special illuminators designed to work with this power supply were even manufactured for the Zeiss D / DR / DRC stereo microscopes:
- transmitted-light base "Zusatz für Durchlicht" with a 10 W halogen lamp
- auxiliary illuminators "Leuchte 10" / "Leuchte 10 S" with a 10 W halogen lamp
- vertical illuminator "Epileuchte" with a 15 W incandescent lamp

"Leuchte 10S" illuminators on a flexible arm, together with this particular power supply, are frequently used as a source of side reflected illumination for the Zeiss KF-2 biological microscope.

Examples of other microscopes whose 6 V 15 W illumination is compatible with this power supply:
- Zeiss Standard 16 / WL / GFL
- Zeiss Universal / Photomicroscope
- PZO Biolar
- PZO MST-130 / 131
- Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval / Amplival
- Carl Zeiss Jena SM-xx
- this power supply can also be used externally to power the halogen illuminator of Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed microscopes if the internal power supply fails (Jenamed uses a 6 V 20 W halogen lamp)

Note - different manufacturers and different illuminators may use different pin spacing in their 6 V connectors. It may therefore be necessary to modify the connector in order to connect it to this Zeiss power supply.

removed from a Zeiss Standard GFL microscope, but it also fits condenser holders used, among others, in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Standard 14 / 16 / 18
- Zeiss Standard WL / WL 89
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Photomicroscope (Zeiss PM / Phomi - all models)
- Zeiss Ultraphot

In these microscope models, the condenser has a dovetail mounting ring. This dovetail includes a notch into which the spring-loaded screw presented here engages. You can see what this mounting ring looks like and how the notch is shaped in the photo gallery of item No. 99625 in this database.

This particular plunger pin was part of a screw removed from a Zeiss Standard WL microscope, but it will most likely fit most models of the Standard series, for example:
- Zeiss Standard 14 / 16 / 18
- Zeiss Standard WL / WL 89
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard Universal
- Zeiss Standard Photomicroscope
- Zeiss Ultraphot

Here you can see a complete screw of this type: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99484 - this is the type of screw that contains this pin inside. In the last photos in the gallery, you can also see the complete arm of a Carl Zeiss Standard WL microscope, with an arrow indicating which element this is and where it is located in the microscope.

Note - over the years, Zeiss microscopes (or the same microscopes sold under the names Zeiss-Winkel or under the Opton brand), especially simpler models such as the Zeiss Standard Junior, may have used different screws for attaching microscope heads. They were not necessarily spring-loaded screws - sometimes ordinary threaded clamping screws were used.

of view number: 12
Mounting diameter: 23.2 mm
Designation: PK = plan compensating - recommended for work with planachromatic objectives, but they also work without any trouble with achromats or apochromats

Because of their very high quality they are often used on microscopes from other manufacturers as well, especially when Carl Zeiss Jena Planachromat objectives are mounted in them. The "compatibility" section lists a long series of microscopes these eyepieces fit - but that list is definitely not complete.

Important: these eyepieces work both on microscopes with a finite tube length (160 mm, for example) and on microscopes with infinity optics. That means you can use them on the Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope just as well as on the Carl Zeiss Jena NU-2 microscope.

A note - eyepieces with such a strong magnification are in my opinion better suited to a quick look than to permanent work. I write "in my opinion" on purpose, because this comes from using them and not from the manufacturer's description.
A 16x eyepiece magnification should be treated as a zoom that brings out no additional detail (the resolution is not increased). This matters for example with heads that have their own extra magnification (such as Carl Zeiss Jena heads with a built-in 1.5x or 1.6x factor) - working with a 100x oil immersion objective you then theoretically get 100*1.5*16 = 2400x, while physics does not allow light from the visible range to be usefully magnified for the human eye beyond roughly 1250x - so this is what is called empty magnification.

Manufacturer catalogue number: 46 07 06
Magnification: 40x
Correction: Semi-planachromatic
Numerical aperture N.A.: 0.65
Tube length: 160 mm
Parfocal length: 45 mm
Cover glass: yes, 0.17 mm thick
Immersion: no (a so-called dry objective)
Thread: RMS
Phase contrast: yes, the objective has an internal phase ring matching the Ph2 position in the condenser
Specimen protection: yes, the objective has a spring-loaded mechanism that protects the slide from being crushed

The letter "F" at the beginning of the objective model name (F 40 / 0.65) means that this is a semi-planachromatic objective, i.e. flatter than an achromat but less flat than a planachromat. "F" does not mean that the objective is intended for work with fluorescence light.

This objective fits practically any microscope from any manufacturer, provided it has an RMS thread and accepts 160 mm tube length objectives with a parfocal length of 33, 37 or 45 mm. A few example microscopes are listed in the "compatibility" section, but that list is not complete.

repairing the eyepiece.

Lens position: this is the topmost lens of the microscope eyepiece, called the eye lens
Lens construction: this is a cemented lens, flat on one side and convex on the other
Matching eyepiece: this is the lens from the Zeiss West Germany CPL W 10x/18 eyepiece, model number 464022-9901

This lens 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 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.
