# Description and specifications:
This is a service part for the PZO SK8 mechanical microscope stage.

It consists of a set of knobs and a horizontal worm shaft with a handle and screws.

This part is often damaged in PZO SK8 microscope stages: because the knobs extend beyond the microscope's outline after installation, the worm shaft often bends during transport, making it difficult to straighten properly.

The PZO SK8 is a mechanical microscope stage with horizontal knobs, primarily used in PZO MB30 microscopes, ML series models, and PZO MST-130/131 stereo microscopes - but is also sometimes installed in Studar and Biolar models.
