# Belongs to category:
Mirrors

# Description and specifications:
Angle mirror for PZO Biolar microscopes.

Compatible with the following variants of the PZO Biolar microscope:
- PZO Biolar B
- PZO Biolar UPI (DIC)
- PZO Biolar P (Pol)
- PZO Biolar FL (Fluorescence)

The function of this component is to reflect light coming from the microscope base vertically upward so that, after passing through the specimen slide and the objective, it reaches the eyepieces and ultimately the user's eyes.

This cast component bears the marking "AK11", and this designation is commonly used on the secondary market to identify this particular angle mirror. However, it is not a part number, because the marking "AK11" can also be found on other PZO microscope components, which may lead to confusion. It is very likely that the source of this confusion is the attempt to compare PZO metal components with those used in Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes, where cast parts are marked with numbers in the format "Si10 CZ xxxxx". This may incorrectly lead people to assume that PZO used a similar numbering system.

Replacement of the angle mirror in PZO Biolar microscopes may be necessary in the following situations:
- if the mirror has become heavily scratched due to improper cleaning (minor scratches are usually not visible during normal use)
- if the silver reflective coating of the installed mirror becomes oxidized
- if the mirror becomes damaged, chipped, or cracked, for example after coming loose from its mounting

# Examples of use
- as a service part for replacement of the complete module
- the main applications are listed in the description
