# Part manufacturer:
Reichert

# Full manufacturer name:
Reichert Austria

# Belongs to category:
Condenser holders (supports)

# Description and specifications:
Complete microscope condenser holder assembly with centering screws, toothed rack and focusing knob for the Reichert Austria Zetopan microscope.

This module consists of the following components:
- guide rail into which the condenser slides
- two condenser centering screws
- clamping mechanism that secures the entire module to the dovetail guide in the microscope body
- focusing knob for moving the condenser vertically
- toothed rack (often incorrectly referred to as a gear)
- note the round opening near the dovetail mounting point – it provides a passage for the light beam leading to an optional EPI illuminator

Any of the components listed above may become damaged during the lifetime of the microscope. In such cases, either the damaged component or the complete condenser holder assembly must be replaced.

The purpose of this microscope part is to hold the microscope condenser and allow it to move vertically.
The module is attached with a clamping screw (the so-called "quick-release clamp") to the vertical dovetail guide in the microscope body. The microscope stage holder is mounted on the same guide, above this module.
