# Description and specifications:
Holder for the left inclining prism from the head of the Nikon SMZ-10 stereo microscope.

In the Nikon SMZ-10 stereo microscope each of the two optical paths (one per eye) consists of:
- the zoom lens group
- the secondary objective
- the inclining prism
- the erecting prism
- the eyepiece

Each prism sits in its matching cradle (holder) made of cast metal. The manufacturer calls this holder a "prism seat". Offered here is the holder (seat) for the left inclining prism.

Replacing this inclining prism holder in the stereo head of the Nikon SMZ-10 microscope can help when the metal cradle holding the prism is broken. The cradle is made of a relatively brittle alloy and such damage is unfortunately not uncommon.

Such a broken seat, or a prism fitted without its seat - makes it impossible to set the correct collimation of the image and can lead to damage of the prism.

# Examples of use
