Description of this part for the microscope.

the same device that was also sold under the name Leica CM1800. Why? After Leica acquired Reichert-Jung, both companies sold technically identical products for a certain period under their own brands while maintaining separate model names. All service and spare parts are identical for both devices.

This knife holder is therefore compatible with:
- Reichert-Jung CryoCut-E
- Leica CM1800

However, it is highly likely that it also fits other models with the same or similar design, because knives are compatible across many models and a well-designed knife holder was often used in multiple subsequent models.

Other commonly used names for the entire device:
- cryotome
- cryostat
- microtome
- cryo-microtome
- freezing chamber

Other names used for this component:
- knife / blade holder
- knife / blade mount
- knife / blade clamp

Note that different terms are used for the knife in microtomes / cryotomes:
- PL: nóż
- PL: ostrze
- EN: knife
- EN: blade
- DE: Messer
- DE: Mikrotommesser
- DE: Klinge
- DE: Mikrotomklinge

to manufacture such a protective cover for the base of a Reichert Zetopan microscope themselves, here are its dimensions:
Length: 223 mm
Width: 156 mm
Sheet thickness: 1.5 mm

The base of the Reichert Austria Zetopan microscope contains the optical light path, and from time to time this area requires maintenance, especially cleaning. Since Reichert Zetopan microscopes are now 50-60 years old, it is not uncommon to encounter examples where this cover has been lost over the years.

Without this protective cover, contaminants can enter the optical light path and reach the mirror prism of either the transmitted-light or reflected-light illumination system, which may result in reduced image quality.

designed for the Reichert Zetopan microscope to be connected:
- the older-style lamp house with a large incandescent bulb
- the Lux-US halogen lamp house
- the lamp adapter (lamp splitter) used for connecting both the standard illumination system and the fluorescence illumination system at the same time

interface for the main optical tube, with the photo port on one side and the dovetail rail for attaching the objective nosepiece on the other.

The clamping screw securing this component in the Reichert Austria Zetopan microscope very often breaks or gets lost. When this happens, the specially shaped clamping piece usually falls out as well, making a microscope service part such as the one presented here necessary.

Reichert Neozet microscopes, these rails serve only a decorative purpose.

However, the Reichert Zetopan microscope was also available in a version equipped for fluorescence illumination. The large size of the illumination unit used (for example the Binolux 3 model), which was mounted at the rear of the microscope, made it necessary to raise the entire microscope. For this purpose, Reichert Austria offered a special raising base (referred to by the manufacturer as the "sub-base", catalogue number 9 18 87 01). This raising base was equipped with retaining clips that attached to the microscope base, and those clips engaged precisely with the chrome-plated side rails presented here.

The particular rails presented here were removed from a Reichert Zetopan microscope. To the best of my knowledge, they are also compatible with the Reichert Neozet model.

Although two identical rails are mounted on the microscope base, I offer each rail separately. Very often only one rail breaks, so the user needs to replace only a single one. Please note that the chrome plating on the rails presented here is incomplete in places due to the age of these components.
