Description of this part for the microscope.

Zeiss IM 35 (IM-35, IM35) microscope is the Opton ICM 405 (ICM-405, ICM405).

Please note that exactly the same (!) illuminator is also used on the Zeiss Standard / Photomicroscope series microscopes. Please refer to the description of illuminator No. 99684 in this database. YES – these are exactly the same illuminators. However, that particular unit was removed from a Zeiss Photomicroscope II and therefore has its own separate description. You will also find additional photographs and an extended description there.

colorless filter is placed (presumably "zero glass").

This particular specimen comes from a Zeiss Universal microscope, but Zeiss uses the same slide standard in other models as well, e.g., Photomicroscope (Phomi) and Ultraphot.

These slides were produced in various versions, differing in minor details but with no difference in function.

removed from a Zeiss stage P/N 47 33 56 (473356-9901), however stages with other part numbers (e.g. Zeiss P/N 4693640) have an identical design, therefore it most likely fits many models of round Zeiss stages.

Such stages are interchangeable and can be installed in many Zeiss microscopes, however they are most commonly used in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Photomicroscope (so-called Zeiss Phomi)
- Zeiss Ultraphot

In the photo gallery there are detailed images of this element together with dimensions. Additionally, in the last photo an arrow indicates which part is being referred to and where it is located in the stage, in order to clearly identify this component.

Description of this part for the microscope.

a Zeiss microscope stage on which no model designation was provided. Over the years during which Zeiss produced such stages, numerous variants were created (I have personally seen five, for example Zeiss P/N 47 34 28 - 9901 https://www.microscopeparts.eu/microscope/282). Despite this variety, the construction is largely consistent, and most parts are identical.
It is therefore highly likely that the part shown and offered here is compatible with many variants of such microscope stages.

Such stages are interchangeable and can be installed in many Zeiss microscopes, however they are most commonly used in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Standard 14
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard GFL

Also often in:

Description of this part for the microscope.

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/

See also item no. 99584 in this database – it is a similar microscope body that differs only in a few details.

The complete Zeiss Photomicroscope microscope stand may be useful in the following situations:
- if you are assembling your own microscope and purchasing individual components in order to build a system that fully meets your expectations
- if you own a Zeiss Universal microscope and would like to replace it with a Photomicroscope II model, it is sufficient to replace the stand because the remaining components are compatible
- if you own a Zeiss Photomicroscope microscope but its stand is in very poor condition, damaged or incomplete: it has non-functional vertical movement knobs, a damaged diaphragm, or other mechanical problems

Supported fluorescence lamps: HBO 200 W/4 L1, HBO 200 W/4 L2 and CSI 250W
Input voltage: 220 V – 240 V
Power rating: 900 VA

This power supply was supplied as standard with Zeiss Photomicroscope microscopes (commonly known as the Zeiss Phomi) whenever the microscope was equipped with an HBO high-pressure fluorescence illuminator (also referred to as a burner or lamp).

The same or very similar illuminators with identical electrical specifications were used in, among others:
- Zeiss Standard WL
- Zeiss Photomicroscope
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Ultraphot
- such illuminators were also occasionally adapted for use with other microscope models, including those made by other manufacturers
Therefore, this power supply is suitable for all of the applications listed above.

Please note: the last photograph shows a dent in the housing. This does not affect the operation of the unit. Since the dent is located on the underside of the housing, it is not visible when the power supply is standing on a laboratory bench.

IMPORTANT: Always protect your eyesight when working with UV illumination. Never exceed the recommended service life of HBO high-pressure lamps. Always follow the operating instructions supplied with the fluorescence illuminator.

Description of this part for the microscope.

(Phomi) microscopes.

This is an intermediate tube forming the main optical module of the microscope. It is mounted onto the microscope arm, and the binocular head is then attached to this intermediate tube. The module integrates the following components:
- a third optical path (photo output), which is why this module is sometimes referred to as a trinocular tube
- an Optovar magnification changer with a Bertrand lens
- a dovetail mount for the objective revolver
- a large insert for a round filter and slots for additional inserts

This intermediate tube is compatible with the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Universal (Carl Zeiss Standard Universal)
- Zeiss Photomicroscope (Zeiss Phomi)

The Optovar magnification changer integrated into this intermediate tube features a rotating turret with the following positions:
- PH (Bertrand lens)
- 1.25×
- 1.6×
- 2×

The complexity of this design makes the module susceptible to damage of individual internal components, especially the optical elements (prisms and lenses).

This is a round plastic cap with a metal insert, designed to cover the output port of the EPI illuminator. It is removed when an EPI fluorescence illuminator turret is installed (for example, on the Zeiss Photomicroscope III RS).

Please note that some versions of the Zeiss Universal microscope do not have an EPI reflected-light illuminator port.

The accompanying video, using a Zeiss Photomicroscope II as an example, shows exactly where this cap is located on the microscope and how it is installed and removed.

On the secondary market, many Zeiss Phomi (Photomicroscope) and Zeiss Universal microscopes are missing this cap. As a result, dust can enter the illumination system (in other words, the light path). Why is this cap often missing?
- first, it can be removed very easily, so over the years it may simply get lost
- secondly, the microscope body and the EPI fluorescence illuminator turret are often sold separately, so after the turret has been removed, the EPI illuminator port remains uncovered

This cover ring contains a small screw that secures the ring in place so that it fits tightly around the joint between the two microscope components.

The accompanying video, using a Zeiss Photomicroscope II as an example, shows exactly where this cover ring is located on the microscope and how it is installed and removed.

On the secondary market, many Zeiss Phomi (Photomicroscope) and Zeiss Universal microscopes are missing this cover ring, which may allow dust to enter the optical system. Why is this cover ring often missing?
- first, it can be removed very easily, so over the years it may simply get lost
- secondly, the microscope body and the trino intermediate tube are often sold separately, so this cover ring frequently ends up being included in neither the first transaction nor the second

This holder allows interchangeable microscope stages to be mounted, meaning stages that are not screwed directly to the microscope stand. It also features two centering screws.

This holder consists of two parts:
- the so-called stage "support", which is mounted onto a dovetail guide using a quick-release clamping mechanism
- and the circular stage holder attached to it

If this circular holder for the interchangeable stage is removed, other microscope stages that are not interchangeable but instead mounted with four screws can be attached to the "support".

The image gallery contains detailed photographs of this part together with its dimensions.
In the last photograph, an arrow indicates where this part is located inside the microscope.

Additionally, the video gallery contains two videos: the first presents this part from different angles, in close-up views, and demonstrates the movement of its moving components, while the second video shows, among other things, how this part is removed from the microscope body using a Zeiss Photomicroscope II as an example.

The Zeiss Universal, Zeiss Ultraphot, the earliest versions of the Zeiss Standard WL, and the first model of the Zeiss Photomicroscope were originally factory-equipped with this component in black.

The Zeiss Photomicroscope II, Zeiss Photomicroscope III, and the later versions of the Zeiss Standard WL were factory-equipped with this component in grey.

The colour of this component has no effect on compatibility. In other words, a component of either colour fits all of the microscope models listed above.

The component presented here is grey.

it is a similar microscope body that differs only in a few details.

This Zeiss Phomi II microscope body includes:
- the coarse and fine focus block together with the focusing knobs
- the base (also called the foot or base) with the rear illuminator port, field diaphragm (iris diaphragm), and built-in filters
- the microscope arm with the intermediate tube mount (dovetail clamp), photographic film compartment, and all knobs and switches

When can a complete microscope body be useful?
- if you are assembling a microscope yourself and selecting every component so that the final configuration is exactly the way you want it
- if you have an older model (for example, a Zeiss Universal without EPI reflected-light capability) – replacing the stand effectively upgrades the microscope, while the remaining components can be transferred because they are compatible between these models
- if your microscope is damaged or in poor condition – in that case, this microscope body simply replaces the damaged part

light source to be connected. The lamp house is installed on the left side of the microscope, while the built-in mirror prism redirects the light beam into the EPI nosepiece.

Fluorescence light sources are most commonly connected to this mount, but it is completely universal. It contains no filters and can be used with LED, HBO, XBO, halogen or even classic incandescent lamp houses.

If the light source is lightweight (one of the newer models), it can be mounted without any additional supports. If a large, heavy lamp house is used, additional support frames are often employed to carry its weight (these are optional accessories and are not included).

In its current configuration, this mount accepts lamp houses with a 48 mm connection diameter. However, this mounting adapter can be removed, leaving a plain tube that can accept virtually any adapter, allowing almost any manufacturer's light source to be connected.

The last photograph in the gallery shows a Zeiss Photomicroscope III microscope with this lamp house mount installed. An arrow indicates its exact location, making it easy to identify this component.

The video gallery also contains two videos. The first presents this component from different angles and in close-up. The second demonstrates how to remove this EPI lamp house mount using a Zeiss Photomicroscope III microscope (commonly known as the Zeiss Phomi III) as an example.

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.

Description of this part for the microscope.

In Carl Zeiss Standard series microscopes (with the exception of the Standard Junior teaching microscope), the condenser is not mounted in a circular clamp. Instead, it is fitted with a circular dovetail ring that slides into the condenser mounting guide.

This mounting interface is used on, among others, the following microscope models:
- Zeiss Standard 14 / 16 / 18 / GFL
- Zeiss Standard WL / WL 89
- Zeiss Standard 20 / 25 / 25 ICS
- Zeiss Universal
- Zeiss Photomicroscope I / II / III RS
- Zeiss Ultraphot

The ring has a diameter of 41.3 mm and three mounting holes used to attach it to the condenser. It also features a tapered recess that engages with the locating pin in the condenser holder, ensuring correct positioning of the condenser.

When attached to a condenser made by another manufacturer, this ring makes it possible to use, for example, the PZO KPI-2 DIC condenser and dozens of other condensers on Zeiss Standard-class microscopes.

Note regarding the mounting diameter: during nearly 50 years of production of this microscope series, the dovetail diameter was always approximately 42 mm, but it was never exactly identical. Depending on the production year, the material (plastic, aluminium or brass), and the condenser type (classic Abbe condenser or phase contrast disc condenser), the actual diameter may range from just over 41 mm to almost 43 mm. This relatively large tolerance is a consequence of the condenser holder design. The holder incorporates spring loading, a locating pin and centring/locking screws. As a result, condensers fitted with a mounting ring between approximately 41 mm and 43 mm in diameter can almost always be mounted securely and remain well centred.
