Description
Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 stereo microscope body-to-stand dovetail mountDovetail rail used to mount the body of a Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 stereo microscope to a table stand.
The function of this microscope part is to attach the microscope to the stand. In the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 microscope user manual ([[ LINK ]], page 4), the stand component to which this rail is fitted is identified as part number 35.
This rail is often chipped or broken because it is made of a relatively brittle material, while the screw used to clamp it to the stand is made of steel (this can be clearly seen in the following photo: [[ LINK ]]). An impact or even excessive tightening of this screw may cause this mounting rail to chip or break.
This microscope part can help solve the following problems encountered when using a Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 or Technival-2 microscope:
- if you own a microscope that was previously used without its stand or on a custom boom arm and no longer has this mounting rail
- if this rail has been chipped or broken due to impact damage or material fatigue and the microscope can no longer be securely mounted to its table stand
Interestingly, this mounting rail is also an excellent component for adapting a microscope from another manufacturer to a table stand originally designed for Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 microscopes. It is sufficient to attach this mount to the microscope body (mounting screws are included).
In addition, the last photographs in the gallery include an arrow indicating exactly which part is being offered and where it is located within the microscope, allowing this component to be identified unambiguously.
