This is description of this part:
Field lens for Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval, Jenalumar and Jenavert microscopes.
This field lens is mounted on a suitably profiled metal element that is screwed to the microscope base. This metal element (in which the lens is mounted) also serves as a rail onto which the interchangeable filter holder slides (like this one: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99383, this one: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99404 or the one with a polarizer).
This element is used in the following microscopes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert
Cast and die-cast metal parts made by Carl Zeiss Jena carry their own numbers. This part bears the number 2648 (full marking: 2648 Si10 CZ).
In the last photos of the gallery, an arrow shows exactly where this element sits in the microscope, so you can identify it without any doubt.
What is this part needed for?
- if you have a microscope that is missing this element
- if you need an additional unit to adapt it for your own DIY modifications (e.g. polarization)
