▼ More about this microscope part
A large proportion of Olympus CHK microscopes available on the second-hand market are missing this cover. During many years of use, this sheet metal cover had to be removed whenever the bulb was replaced, and it was often never reinstalled afterwards.
Owners solve this problem in various ways, often using thick cardboard or a plastic cover. However, only a metal cover also performs the function of a heat sink.
