# Description and specifications:
This is the central prism of the Zeiss binocular head, responsible for splitting the light beam into the left and right optical paths.

This type of head is used in Zeiss Axioskop 20 microscopes (this head has the catalog number 45 29 07 - alternative notation: 452907) as well as in inverted microscopes Zeiss Axiovert 100. It is very likely that the same head was also installed in other microscope models, e.g. Zeiss Axioskop 50 and others.

VERY IMPORTANT: this is a central prism (beamsplitter). It is neither a left nor a right prism and cannot replace them.
