# Description and specifications:
Stand base with support column for Carl Zeiss Jena SMxx stereo microscopes (SM-16 and SM-20).

The stereo microscope body is mounted onto this bench stand.

Basic stand dimensions:
Support column diameter: 15 mm
Overall support column height: 220 mm
Glass plate opening diameter: 93.5 mm
Base length: 180 mm

The support column of this stand has a diameter of 15 mm. This allows virtually any stereo microscope or EPI metallurgical microscope with a 15 mm mounting bore to be installed on it, including:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Stemi SM-16
- Carl Zeiss Jena Stemi SM-20
- PZO MST-110 / MST-127
- PZO MST-130 / MST-131

When might this stand be needed?
- Stereo microscopes, including the Carl Zeiss Jena SM-xx series, were often used on special holders or boom stands. As a result, many of these microscopes available on the second-hand market no longer include their original bench stand.

# Examples of use
- if you own an Carl Zeiss Jena SMxx / SM-16 microscope body and you are missing the stand
- if you want to use this stand with another toolmakers microscope, stereoscopic microscope, metallurgical microscope or measuring microscope
- if you are building your own DIY project (e.g. a drill press or a hardness tester) and this particular stand is suitable for your project
