More about part: Wild M420 / Leica M420 Makroskop - light path slider for macroscope trinocular head (ID: 99399)

Description

Light path slider for the trinocular head of the Wild Heerbrugg M420 Makroskop (macroscope) (Leica M420).

This is exactly the light path slider used to switch the prism inside the microscope head and to select the light path: to the eyepieces / to the photo output.

This light path slider is an element that very often gets broken and then requires replacement.

Due to the similar design, it is very likely that this component will also fit the photographic trinocular head of the following macroscope models:
- Wild M400
- Wild M450 (another name: Leica M450)

The macroscope is an advanced stereoscopic microscope with a high-resolution ZOOM objective.

Why are dual names Wild and Leica used? The M400 macroscope was manufactured by Wild Heerbrugg (Switzerland). Later, the Wild company was acquired by Leica and the M420 and M450 models may be labeled either Wild M420 / Wild M450 or Leica M420 / Leica M450. Note: this is different for the Wild M400 model - it does not have a Leica equivalent, because "Leica M400" is a model of a surgical microscope.
