This is description of this part:
A complete pair of lower lenses for the body of the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 stereo microscope. This is a microscope part intended for repairing the Greenough continuous zoom system.
The technical name of this microscope part is: front fixed group (input group) of the pancratic zoom system. These are the two lenses permanently mounted inside the stereo microscope body, located above the main objective (Hauptobjektiv) of the stereo microscope.
This service part can help solve the following problems encountered when using the Carl Zeiss Jena Citoval-2 stereo microscope:
- if a lens has been mechanically damaged (scratched, cracked, or chipped)
- if a lens has become delaminated or its surface has been damaged by fungus (mold)
- if someone previously repaired the Citoval-2 microscope incorrectly and these lenses are either missing or in poor condition
In the last photographs, an arrow indicates exactly which microscope part is being offered and where it is located inside the microscope, making this component easy to identify. The final photograph shows a schematic diagram of the Greenough stereo microscope design.
What is this part needed for?
- as a service part when replacement becomes necessary. Examples of situations in which this component may be needed are provided in the description.
