# 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:
Condensers

# Description and specifications:
Microscope condenser for Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Histology microscopes.

It DOES NOT FIT other Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models from the Jenamed series and therefore cannot be used in:
- Jenamed Cytology
- Jenamed Variant
- Jenamed Hematology
- Jenamed Fluorescence
- Jenamed-2

Mechanically, this condenser is a "flip-out" design and is mounted in a metal frame together with a lever used to rotate it in order to obtain one of two operating modes: low or high numerical aperture N.A. This lever extends outside the microscope housing so that the user can operate it.

The complete module is mounted underneath the microscope stage by attaching the entire condenser assembly from below with four screws. This condenser does not contain an iris diaphragm because, in Jenamed microscopes, it is a separate component mounted beneath the condenser.

In the Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Histology microscope, this condenser is not used together with the wide-field lens that is installed beneath the condenser in other Jenamed models (part Si10 CZ 2711-1). In the Jenamed Histology model, a polarizer is installed in this position instead.

Replacement of the condenser in a Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Histology microscope may be necessary:
- when the upper lens becomes damaged, for example by becoming cloudy due to exposure to various chemical reagents
- when the upper lens is damaged by friction. Surprisingly, this unusual type of damage is very common after several decades of microscope use
- when the mechanical lens switching mechanism ("flip-out") becomes damaged

Metal cast or injection-moulded microscope parts manufactured by Carl Zeiss Jena carry their own part numbers. This condenser module bears number 2713 (full marking: Si10 CZ 2713).

In the last photograph, I indicate with an arrow exactly which component is being offered and where it is located within the microscope.
