This is description of this part:
Original head fixing screw for mounting the microscope head to the stand of Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes from the L-Stativ series.
The last photo shows which element is being offered.
Fits among others the following Carl Zeiss Jena microscope models:
- Lumipan
- Lg
- Lr
- Lu
Note - production of the L-Stativ series microscopes began before World War II and continued into the 1950s. Over the years, small design details changed, including the method of mounting the microscope head.
- the earliest models had a threaded microscope head, and there was no fixing screw at all
- the latest models already featured an advanced mounting system with a spring screw (you can see it in the database under number 00659)
What is this part needed for?
- Sometimes this screw is missing in used microscopes.
- Very often, the tiny screw in this element is broken or missing.
- This element often has dried grease.
- This screw is often damaged because when it wouldn't turn due to dried grease, someone used pliers to turn it.
