# Description and specifications:
Condenser height position limiter for Lomo Polam polarizing microscopes.

In Lomo Polam polarizing microscopes, a swing-out frosted diffuser module can be mounted below the condenser. In most microscopes this module is installed, but it is a separate accessory and does not have to be present. Directly below it is the location where the component offered here is mounted.

This component performs at least two functions:
- it limits the vertical movement of the condenser and specifically prevents it from being lowered too far
- it acts as a blanking plate if there are no additional accessories installed below the condenser diffuser

However, if this component serves as a blanking plate, what other accessories can be mounted there? The most commonly encountered optional accessory for Lomo Polam microscopes is the Lomo MIP-2 monochromator (this is the model designation written in the Latin alphabet). Since this is optional equipment, this blanking plate performs its function exactly at this location.

This blanking plate is also attractive to users who need an original mounting point below the condenser (appropriate dovetail mount and clamping screw - this blanking plate provides all of these features) in order to attach their own DIY accessory intended to be placed in the optical path.

In the last photograph, an arrow indicates which component is being offered and where it is located in the microscope, allowing this microscope part to be identified unambiguously.

# Examples of use
- if you own a Lomo Polam series microscope without this component and would like to complete the original equipment set
- if you already have such a blanking plate but need another one for modification as part of your own DIY project
