These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official. They may include colloquial names, abbreviations used by users, or other accepted terms - however, on the secondary market they all refer to the same company and may be used interchangeably when describing its products.

# Belongs to category:
Condenser holders (supports)

# Description and specifications:
- 39.5 mm diameter condenser holder with a condenser holding screw
- knob for adjusting the vertical position of the condenser (top-bottom)
- central condenser mounting screw
- two long screws for centering the condenser

This part is compatible with the following PZO microscopes:
- MB 30
- MB 30S
- MS 5
- ML 4
- ML 5
- ML 6

Note - This part is BLACK. Please note that the microscopes it is compatible with may have different paint colors.

Note - This part is from the PZO MB-30 microscope, so it has long screws for centering the condenser. It differs from the condenser holders of the MS and ML models in these screws; i.e., the MS and ML do not have such long screws for centering the condenser. Users of PZO MS and PZO ML series microscopes often replace their condenser holder with the one in the MB-30 to easily center the condenser, which is especially convenient when using the condenser for phase contrast.

Note - the gear rack on which this mechanism moves is NOT included in the kit.

If you need smaller, individual components of this module (e.g., a gear knob, centering screws, or anything else) - <a href="mailto:info@microscopeparts.eu">contact us</a>

# Examples of use
- As a service part
- individual components in this mechanism often become damaged
- the screw holding the condenser sometimes gets lost, bent, or breaks (and remains in the thread)
- sometimes the knob (handle) is chipped or even melted by a soldering iron or cigarette
- if you have a PZO MS or ML series microscope and want to upgrade it with a condenser holder with convenient centering screws
