This is description of this part:
Illuminator holder with a lens for collimating the light beam and a frosted filter for Carl Zeiss Jena Nf / NfPk microscopes.
Other used names:
- illuminator housing with frosted filter
- illuminator tube
- illuminator holder with frosted filter
- sometimes the German-language term "Lampenhaus" is used
Notice - this is NOT a complete illuminator assembly. Please carefully examine the photos in the gallery; as an additional element (which is not included here), a separate silver component extending beyond the outline of the microscope base is screwed in to help support the illuminator with bulb. Here I offer and describe the part that is located inside the microscope base.
What is this part needed for?
- as a service part, when the existing, broken Mikroskopelement needs to be replaced
- if you are deliberately modifying the microscope illumination and need this element
