This is description of this part:
This microscope stage holder fits the following Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes:
- Nf
- Nf with EPI / EPI POL reflected light illuminator
- NU
- NU2
This holder features two centering screws on the side, which are very important for polarization. The front retaining screw is also different from standard microscope stage holders (i.e., those without centering). Of course, standard stages, rectangular, round, and sliding EPI stages can also be used with this holder.
What is this part needed for?
- if your microscope is missing this part
- if this part is damaged in your microscope
- if you have a microscope stage holder that doesn't center and you want to replace it
- if you need a holder to mount the microscope stage to another DIY device
