# Belongs to category:
Iris diaphragms

# Description and specifications:
Separate, individual blades of the iris diaphragm.

Damage to iris diaphragm blades is one of the more common failures in Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes. Most often this occurs when:
- the lubricant in the diaphragm opening / closing mechanism dries out and the user tries to move it by force
- a foreign object gets between the blades (e.g. a glass fragment from a chipped microscope slide)
- the diaphragm is closed too quickly or opened too far

In the event of an iris diaphragm failure, it is possible to:
- replace the entire condenser
- replace only the diaphragm
- repair the diaphragm by replacing the damaged blades

This is an element for repair of a microscope condenser by Carl Zeiss Jena, model Abbe 1.2.
Please note that this is an element (component) for a microscope part (condenser), not for a specific microscope model.

# Examples of use
- element required as a service part when replacement of a single diaphragm blade is necessary
