# Part name: Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival / Vertival simple microscope arm # Original page URL: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/carl-zeiss-jena-amplival-vertival-simple-microscope-arm-99447 # Part manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena # Full manufacturer name: VEB Carl Zeiss Jena DDR (former East Germany) # Other names of this manufacturer: - ausJena - aus Jena These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official. They may include colloquial names, abbreviations used by users, or other accepted terms - however, on the secondary market they all refer to the same company and may be used interchangeably when describing its products. # Belongs to category: Housings and its parts # Description and specifications: Upper microscope arm of Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival. This element functions as a horizontal arm, on the end of which the microscope head is mounted from above, and the nosepiece is mounted from underneath. Based on the Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope, whose modular design allows for various configurations, several microscope models were created: - Vertival - Epival - Amplival Interphako - Amplival Pol - Fluoval and these microscopes differ from each other, among other things, by different arms. The arm from the Amplival model has the simplest construction. By owning different arms and one microscope - you can swap them according to your needs and use different functionalities, as if you had two microscope models. This element consists of the following components: - fixing screw securing the arm to the microscope body - holder enabling the mounting of components with a 41 mm mounting diameter (e.g. binocular head) - fixing screw securing this component (e.g. head). This element is very often damaged. - guides (slides) enabling the attachment of an interchangeable nosepiece A device with a matching mounting diameter that is placed on the arm from above can be, for example: - head with a built-in inclined tube - intermediate tube (German: Zwischentubus) - magnification changer (Optovar) - EPI reflected light illuminator - polarization analyzer module - and others, because as mentioned above, the Amplival class microscopes have a modular design and there are many accessories available for them This microscope arm can solve the following issues related to Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival class microscopes: - if your microscope is missing this element, which happens with microscopes available on the secondary market - if you own another variant of a microscope from this class, e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival, and you want to convert it into a "regular" Amplival - if you own such an arm, but it is of poor quality or has damaged individual components - if you need one of the component parts of this arm - if you are building your own DIY project and need a mount compatible with the Carl Zeiss Jena standard On the last photo, an arrow indicates which element it is and where it is located in the microscope to clearly identify this part. Important: The popular and visually very similar Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval microscope, which is often confused with the Amplival model, DOES NOT HAVE such a modular design and this arm does not fit it. If you need any of the component parts of this arm (e.g. the large fixing screw securing the arm to the microscope stand or the smaller fixing screw securing the head to the arm - search this database or contact us by writing an email. # Examples of use - if your microscope is missing this element, which happens with microscopes available on the secondary market - if you own another variant of a microscope from this class, e.g. Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival, and you want to convert it into a "regular" Amplival - if you own such an arm, but it is of poor quality or has damaged individual components - if you need one of the component parts of this arm - if you are building your own DIY project and need a mount compatible with the Carl Zeiss Jena standard # Removed from microscope: Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival # Also compatible with the following microscopes: - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival - Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival - Carl Zeiss Jena Epival - Carl Zeiss Jena Fluoval - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival Pol - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival Interphako - Carl Zeiss Jena Peraval # Names, descriptions, terms, and search contexts under which this part is searched. - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival microscope repair parts - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival Mikroskoparm - Carl Zeiss Jena Vertival Mikroskoptubus - Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival Mikroskop Kopfhalter - Carl Zeiss Jena Epival Mikroskop Objektivrevoler Halter - Carl Zeiss Jena buy spare parts # Related URLs: - Markdown po polsku: https://www.serwismikroskopowy.pl/part/99447.md - Markdown auf Deutsch: https://www.mikroskopteile.de/part/99447.md - Gallery of all photos of this part: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/gallery/99447-carl-zeiss-jena-amplival-vertival-simple-microscope-arm - Media manifest of this part (photos + videos, for AI/RAG): https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99447.media.md - Representative photo: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/carl-zeiss-jena-amplival-vertival-simple-microscope-arm-99447-2 - Representative video: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/play/99447-1 - Other parts from category Housings and its parts: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts - More Housings and its parts removed from microscope Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/from/carl-zeiss-jena/amplival - More Housings and its parts compatible with microscope Carl Zeiss Jena Amplival: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/for/carl-zeiss-jena/amplival - More Housings and its parts removed from microscopes Carl Zeiss Jena: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/from/carl-zeiss-jena - More Housings and its parts compatible with microscopes Carl Zeiss Jena: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/for/carl-zeiss-jena # Important information: Database Description: Technical microscope parts database based on years of practical service experience.
