This is description of this part:
Transmitted-light field diaphragm (iris diaphragm) for Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval, Jenalumar and similar microscopes.
Compatible with the following Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenapol
- can also be installed in a Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert microscope to add transmitted-light capability
This component is located inside the microscope base and enables the microscope illumination to be adjusted according to the Köhler illumination principle.
Interestingly, microscope versions intended exclusively for reflected-light operation (for example, the basic versions of the Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert) do not include this transmitted-light field diaphragm because they do not have a transmitted-light optical path. However, the microscope base is identical to that used in transmitted-light models. This makes it possible to upgrade such an EPI microscope for transmitted-light operation by installing the complete lower transmitted-light optical path. The field diaphragm offered here is one of the components required for this conversion.
In the last photograph, an arrow indicates where the transmitted-light field diaphragm is located inside the microscope base, making this component easy to identify.
What is this part needed for?
- as a service element for whole-module replacement
