This is description of this part:
Lampholder K1 with a collimator lens for Carl Zeiss Jena Ergaval and Amplival microscopes (including their variants).
Note - I describe that this microscope element is intended for the Carl Zeiss Jena Fluoval microscope. THIS IS NOT CERTAIN INFORMATION - I am unable to access the relevant documentation.
Other used names:
- lamp holder
- lamp tube
- lamp support
- sometimes the German-language term "Lampenhaus" is used
What is this part needed for?
- if you own a microscope in which the element is missing, which is often the case when purchasing a used microscope
- as a service part, when the existing, broken Mikroskopelement needs to be replaced
- if you are deliberately modifying the microscope illumination and need this element
