This is description of this part:
Original screw securing the stage to the holder.
The last photo shows which part it is.
Fits many Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models, including:
- Ergaval
- Amplival
- Docuval
- Metaval
- Epival
- Vertival
- Nf
- NU
Note: Please examine the photos carefully. If I have more than one of this part, some of the screws may show traces of improper (forceful) unscrewing. These are not major traces - mostly minor scratches. Of course, they do not affect the functionality of the element at all.
Note - some models have different screw dimensions, for example, longer ones.
Note - in microscopes with a centering stage holder (for polarizing stages), this screw may be different.
Note - the small screw at the front of this part unscrews in the OPPOSITE direction than most screws, and this is the most common cause of damage.
What is this part needed for?
- Sometimes this screw is missing in used microscopes.
- Very often, the tiny screw in this element is broken or missing.
- This element often has dried grease.
- This screw is often damaged because when it wouldn't turn due to dried grease, someone used pliers to turn it.
