This is description of this part:
This is the internal component of the angled tube for the microscope head of Leica DM series microscopes (e.g., DMLB, DMLS, or DM-1000).
Manufacturer: Leica
Head model: 11505193
The angled tube (German: Winkeltubus) is the component visible in the last photos in the gallery. This component is mounted to the microscope stand, and the binocular head is screwed onto it at an ergonomic angle.
On this page, I offer the interior of this angled tube.
- metal internal structure
- mirror angled prism
- lower lens (as far as I know, this is a focal lens, also known as a "tube lens" for infinity correction).
If I'm correct that this lower element is a "tube lens," then it's a sought-after component:
- by macro photographers to use infinity lenses
- by people wanting to convert their 160mm/170mm microscope to be compatible with infinity-corrected lenses.
What is this part needed for?
- if the internal metal structure has been damaged, for example, as a result of an impact
- if the angular mirror prism has been damaged
- if the lower lens has been damaged
