# Part name: Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 / Technival-2 stereo microscope body-to-stand dovetail mount # Original page URL: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/carl-zeiss-jena-citoval-2-technival-2-stereo-microscope-body-to-stand-dovetail-mount-99491 # 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: Dovetail 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 (https://www.mikroskop-online.de/Mikroskop%20BDA/30-725-1%20%20TECHNIVAL%202%20%20CITOVAL%202.pdf, 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: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/carl-zeiss-jena-citoval-2-technival-2-stereomikroskop-tischstativ-mit-fokussiertrieb-99477-7). 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. # Examples of use - as a service part when replacement becomes necessary. Examples of situations in which this component may be needed are provided in the description. # Removed from microscope: Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 # Also compatible with the following microscopes: - Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 - Carl Zeiss Jena Technival-2 # Names, descriptions, terms, and search contexts under which this part is searched. - Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 microscope repair parts - Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 und Technival-2 Mikroskop Tischstativ - Citoval-2 und Technival-2 Mikroskoptrieb 65 mm - Citoval-2 und Technival-2 Mikroskop Zahnstange - Citoval-2 and Technival-2 microscope stand - Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 and Technival-2 stereo microscope focusing block - Carl Zeiss Jena buy spare parts # Related URLs: - Markdown po polsku: https://www.serwismikroskopowy.pl/part/99491.md - Markdown auf Deutsch: https://www.mikroskopteile.de/part/99491.md - Gallery of all photos of this part: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/gallery/99491-carl-zeiss-jena-citoval-2-technival-2-stereo-microscope-body-to-stand-dovetail-mount - Media manifest of this part (photos + videos, for AI/RAG): https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99491.media.md - Representative photo: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/carl-zeiss-jena-citoval-2-technival-2-stereo-microscope-body-to-stand-dovetail-mount-99491-2 - 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 Citoval-2: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/from/carl-zeiss-jena/citoval-2 - More Housings and its parts compatible with microscope Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/housings-and-its-parts/for/carl-zeiss-jena/citoval-2 - 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.
