More about part: Carl Zeiss Jena Lumipan 23,2mm microscope photo tube black | projection eyepiece and camera adapter LOMO compatible (ID: 99872)

Description

Photo tube / camera adapter Carl Zeiss Jena - also fitting microscopes of other makers: LOMO, Meopta, Olympus, IOR or Gamma.

The tube allows you to connect a camera to a trinocular head or directly to the microscope stand, even when there is no trinocular head at all.

This is a black tube with an upper element (barrel) 55 mm long. Here ([[ LINK ]]) you can see a functionally identical adapter, but grey and with an upper barrel only 25 mm long.

Black adapters of this kind come from the era of the Carl Zeiss Jena L stands (models Carl Zeiss Jena Lg, Lumipan, Ng, Nf or Nu). The grey ones are newer, from the era of the Mikroval series (models Carl Zeiss Jena Laboval, Eduval, Ergaval or Amplival and Docuval).

The mounting fit is of course identical, so both can be used interchangeably.

Because on the output side this adapter has an empty barrel with an inner diameter of 23.2 mm, you can place in it a projection eyepiece of that diameter or a so-called USB eyepiece, that is a digital microscope camera. In addition, adapters between the 23.2 mm barrel and the M42 thread are widely available, and from the M42 thread you can already move on to any other mount: Nikon, Canon, Sony and all the rest.

Such a tube can be mounted directly on the microscope stand, in place of the head. A seat for a ring dovetail of 41.0 - 41.5 mm diameter is found among others in the microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena
- LOMO
- Meopta
- IOR
- Reichert Biopan
- Olympus CH
- Gamma

It is also used in microscopes with a slightly larger seat, among others Zeiss West Germany, Leitz Wetzlar, PZO, Will Wetzlar, Hund Wetzlar.

The adapter can likewise be fitted onto trinocular heads, as many of them have a seat prepared for it, among others:
- the output in the trinocular tubes of the microscopes Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed, Jenaval, Jenalumar, Jenatech, Jenavert, Jenapol
- the LOMO TRN-1 heads (ЛОМО ТРН-1), found in LOMO Polam microscopes
- some versions of the black intermediate photo tubes for the microscopes Carl Zeiss Jena Lg / Lumipan / Nf and of the grey ones from the Mikroval series (others require a tube that screws in on a thread)

This is not a tube for one particular microscope model. A trinocular head can be mounted not only on the microscope it was sold with, so the correct assumption is that this is a universal tube with a ring dovetail of 41.5 mm diameter on one side and a barrel of 23.2 mm diameter on the other.

In the compatibility section you will find an example list of microscopes this tube fits, although that list is not complete.
