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 microscopes.

This particular example shown and offered here was removed from a Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Cytology microscope. It will most likely also fit other models from the Jenamed series (e.g. Jenamed Variant, Jenamed Fluorescence, Jenamed-2, Jenamed Hematology). Please note however that the Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Histology microscope is factory-equipped with a different type of condenser - the "flip-out" type.

To make sure whether this condenser will fit a specific Carl Zeiss Jena microscope from the Jenamed series, it is best to carefully check all dimensions based on the gallery photos or ask a question on a professional forum, e.g. https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/

Mechanically, this condenser is mounted from the underside of the microscope stage - first it is screwed into the threaded opening in the stage and then secured with three screws. The upper lens can be unscrewed to obtain a condenser with a lower numerical aperture N.A. This condenser does not have an iris diaphragm installed because in Jenamed microscopes it is a separate element.

Replacing the condenser in a Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed microscope may be necessary:
- when the upper lens becomes damaged, for example when it turns matte due to exposure to various chemical reagents
- when the upper lens becomes damaged due to rubbing. Surprisingly, this unusual type of damage is very common after several decades of microscope use.

In the last photo I indicate with an arrow exactly which element it is and where it is located in the microscope.

# Examples of use
- as a repair part in the form of replacing the complete part if it or one of its elements is damaged or of very poor quality
- several examples of applications are given in the description
