Description
Zeiss (West Germany) microscope clear glass ring insert (blank for DIY annuli) | phase condenser diaphragm carrier, complete insert, clear glassComplete clear glass ring insert with retaining ring – without a printed diaphragm (the original coating has been removed) – for Carl Zeiss (West Germany) phase contrast condensers.
Basic parameters of this clear glass insert:
- Manufacturer
- Carl Zeiss (Oberkochen, West Germany)
- Material
- glass mounted in a metal retaining ring with flange
- Outside diameter of the retaining ring
- 22 mm
- Diameter of the clear glass disc
- 16 mm
- Height of the retaining ring
- 3.5 mm
Below are some example applications for this clear glass blank. It can be printed or fitted with, among others:
- a phase annulus or darkfield annulus matching the original one that was installed in the condenser but has become damaged
- an annulus missing from the condenser
- coloured Rheinberg rings
- oblique illumination diaphragms producing a DIC-like effect
- a Hoffmann modulation contrast pattern
- phase annuli for objectives made by other manufacturers, for example Carl Zeiss Jena PhV
- any completely custom DIY design
This particular clear glass ring insert was removed from a fluorescence phase contrast condenser — an older version of the Zeiss condenser P/N 46 52 78. Before installing it in your condenser, carefully compare the shape of its housing and the dimensions of the retaining ring.
▼ More about this microscope part
Interchangeable diaphragm carriers (whether for phase contrast or, for example, darkfield) make it possible to configure a phase contrast condenser exactly as required. This allows the condenser to support precisely the observation techniques and microscope objectives needed.
The clear glass blank presented here is not a component intended for any specific microscope model. Instead, it is used to upgrade or repair a microscope phase contrast condenser. Likewise, it is not dedicated to any specific condenser model. Many Carl Zeiss condenser models have a suitable opening into which this complete insert can be fitted and customised with your own pattern.
The last photograph in the gallery shows the turret disc of a Zeiss phase contrast condenser. An arrow indicates the clear glass ring insert offered here, already installed.
