This is description of this part:
Microscope stage for Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed Histology microscopes.
The stage used in Carl Zeiss Jena Jenamed microscopes is a flat, smooth surface permanently attached to the microscope stand with screws. It serves as a mounting platform for mechanical stages, XY stage mechanisms, or specimen holders - various versions depending on the user's requirements.
Mechanically, this stage consists of two elements:
- a smooth upper steel plate attached to the cast component below
- a lower cast component (with the manufacturer's part number) attached to the microscope stand
Both parts have an opening for the microscope condenser. The condenser is mounted from below the stage (condenser available separately).
Metal cast or injection-moulded microscope parts manufactured by Carl Zeiss Jena carry their own part numbers. This part is marked with number 2712 (full marking: Si10 CZ 2712).
This microscope stage DOES NOT FIT the following Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes:
- Jenamed 2
- Jenamed Variant
- Jenamed Cytology
- Jenamed Hematology
- Jenamed Fluorescence
More precisely: the lower part (marked Si10 CZ 2712) is identical to the one used in other Jenamed microscope models (except Jenamed-2), whereas the smooth upper steel plate used in the Jenamed Histology differs from those used in other models by the size of the condenser cut-out (opening).
In the last photo, I indicate with an arrow exactly which component is being offered and where it is located within the microscope.
What is this part needed for?
- as a repair part in the form of replacing the complete part if it or one of its elements is damaged or of very poor quality
