# Part manufacturer:
Zeiss

# Full manufacturer name:
Carl Zeiss West Germany

# Other names of this manufacturer:
- Carl Zeiss West
- Carl Zeiss West Germany
- Opton
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:
Service and spare parts

# Description and specifications:
Short rack for the longitudinal movement, that is a repair part for the Carl Zeiss 45 35 10 microscope stage used in Zeiss Axiolab microscopes and similar models.

This is the rack that works together with the outer (larger) pinion of the stage manipulator (https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99973) and is responsible for moving the stage surface in the front-back axis.

Basic data of this rack:
Length of the rack: 55 mm
Number of teeth: 35
Material: plastic
How it is fixed: with 2 hex socket screws, which are included
Removed from: the mechanical XY stage Zeiss 45 35 10
Which microscope this stage worked with: the Zeiss Axiolab re 45 09 05 microscope

Important: there are two racks of different length in the Zeiss 453510 microscope stage. The one I am offering here is the shorter one, responsible for the longitudinal movement, that is for moving the stage surface back and forth. This rack is not responsible for moving the specimen holder sideways.

The stage this rack comes from was mounted in a Zeiss Axiolab re microscope, P/N 45 09 05 (also written as 450905). However, the same stage model is also mounted on the following variants:
- Zeiss Axiolab drb KT, which carries the same number 45 09 05 (450905)
- Zeiss Axiolab E re, 45 09 07 (450907)
- Zeiss Axiolab A, 45 09 09 (450909)
- Zeiss Axiolab Pol, 45 09 10 (450910)

This item is not a spare part for repairing a microscope. It is a component of the microscope stage - and the stage can be used with any compatible Zeiss microscope, and even with others, onto whose stage carrier such a stage can be fitted or screwed on.

Detailed photos of this rack are available in the gallery. Every photo shows a scale with a millimetre division. The last photo shows the whole Zeiss 453510 microscope stage, with an arrow pointing at the component in question and at where it sits in the stage, so that this part can be identified without any doubt.

# Examples of use
- as a repair part, when you want to replace the whole damaged component
- if you have a microscope stage in which this component still works, but is in very poor condition
- if this rack went missing during cleaning or repair of the stage, or if, for example, its plastic teeth have broken off

# Removed from microscope:
Zeiss Axiolab

# Also compatible with the following microscopes:
- Zeiss 45 35 10 XY microscope stage
