# Belongs to category:
Entire bodies

# Description and specifications:
Complete stand (the so-called microscope body) for the Zeiss Photomicroscope II microscope (abbreviated as Phomi II).

See also item no. 99521 in this database – it is a similar microscope body that differs only in a few details.

This Zeiss Phomi II microscope body includes:
- the coarse and fine focus block together with the focusing knobs
- the base (also called the foot or base) with the rear illuminator port, field diaphragm (iris diaphragm), and built-in filters
- the microscope arm with the intermediate tube mount (dovetail clamp), photographic film compartment, and all knobs and switches

When can a complete microscope body be useful?
- if you are assembling a microscope yourself and selecting every component so that the final configuration is exactly the way you want it
- if you have an older model (for example, a Zeiss Universal without EPI reflected-light capability) – replacing the stand effectively upgrades the microscope, while the remaining components can be transferred because they are compatible between these models
- if your microscope is damaged or in poor condition – in that case, this microscope body simply replaces the damaged part

# Examples of use
- for people assembling their own microscope from individually purchased components
- for people who need to replace a poor quality stand with a properly functioning one
- other situations in which such a microscope stand may be required are listed in the description
