This is description of this part:
An original aluminium nameplate with the manufacturer logo for Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes.
Parameters of this nameplate:
Manufacturer: Carl Zeiss Jena
Inscription: logo "Carl Zeiss Jena" and text "Q1 MADE IN DDR"
Material: aluminium
Length: 52 mm
Width: 14 mm
Mounting: the nameplate is glued on
By default such a nameplate was fitted to most Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes from the Mikroval series onwards. There is also a smaller nameplate - with the manufacturer logo only (without the "Q1 Made in DDR" text). You can see it here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/00604.
Because the adhesive used to attach these plates to the microscope body loses its properties over the years, these plates very often fall off. A nameplate like this makes it possible to restore the factory appearance of a microscope using original parts.
What is this part needed for?
- if the original manufacturer nameplate has fallen off your Carl Zeiss Jena microscope
- if you simply like this plate and want to have one
- if you feel like putting such a plate on your microscope from another manufacturer
