This is description of this part:
Plastic bottom cover for the microscope base.
Compatible with, among others:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenavert
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenapol
- Carl Zeiss Jena Jenalumar
This cover serves two main functions in the microscope:
- it protects the power supply and all electrical components built into the microscope base, protecting both the electrical system and the user from electric shock
- it protects the optical components located inside the microscope base from dust and other contamination
The base of Carl Zeiss Jena Jenaval, Jenalumar and similar microscopes contains part of the optical light path, and this area occasionally requires maintenance, especially cleaning. Since these microscopes are now more than 30 years old, it is not uncommon to find examples with this cover missing because it has been lost over the years.
What is this part needed for?
- for people who own a Carl Zeiss Jena microscope without this element and want to complete this missing part with original components.
