Description
Carl Zeiss Jena Technival stereo microscope front nameplate with magnification tableAluminium nameplate with magnification table for the Carl Zeiss Jena Technival stereo microscope.
This nameplate is attached to the front of the stereo microscope body (that is, to the revolving magnification changer). It is secured with just a few small drops of adhesive.
This nameplate serves two purposes:
- it is positioned directly in front of the user's eyes, allowing the current total magnification to be identified immediately
- it protects the inside of the revolving magnification changer against dust and dirt entering the mechanism
Important: this nameplate does NOT fit the following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Technival-2, because the magnification changer in this model has more magnification settings
- Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval / Citoval-2, because these models use a continuously variable ZOOM magnification system
▼ More about this microscope part
Several decades have passed since the Technival series microscopes were manufactured, and these nameplates often simply fall off by themselves. They are also removed during servicing or repair of this microscope model, which is another common reason why they become lost.
Users solve the problem in various ways:
- they cover the "empty window" with almost anything
- they print a copy of the magnification table from a photograph of the original, glue it onto a piece of cardboard, and use this DIY replacement
- or they produce a replacement using a 3D printer, sometimes even with recessed lettering
However, if someone wants to have the original part, the only option is to find an original nameplate like the one offered here.
