# Belongs to category:
Screws

# Description and specifications:
Spring-loaded retaining screw for attaching a microscope head (for example a binocular head or trinocular head) to the stand of Carl Zeiss Standard series microscopes.

This particular screw was removed from a Zeiss Standard 14 microscope, but it will most likely fit most models of the Standard series, for example:
- Zeiss Standard GFL
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard WL 89
- Zeiss Standard Universal
- Zeiss Standard Photomicroscope
- Zeiss Ultraphot

Note - over the years, Zeiss microscopes (or the same microscopes sold under the Zeiss-Winkel name or under the Opton brand), especially simpler models such as the Zeiss Standard Junior, used different types of head-retaining screws. These were not necessarily spring-loaded screws - in some cases ordinary threaded clamping screws were used instead.

Before deciding to replace the screw in a microscope, it is best to carefully compare its appearance and dimensions with the photographs in the gallery or ask a question on the forum https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/
