This is description of this part:
Detent spring (spring plate) for the click-stop of the objective nosepiece of the LOMO Biolam microscopes and similar models.
This is the part inside the objective nosepiece that makes the click audible and noticeable when you turn the nosepiece, and that makes the nosepiece stop in the right place. This part is a plate with a recess into which the corresponding tooth drops.
This detent spring fits the nosepieces used in the following microscopes, among others:
- Lomo Erudit (ЛОМО Эрудит)
- Lomo Biolam 70
- Lomo Micmed 1
- Lomo Biolam Д1 / Д2 / Д3 (D series - portable)
- Lomo Biolam C1 / C2 / C3 (S series - for students)
- Lomo Biolam P1 / P2 / P3 / P4 / P5 / P6 / P7 (R series - working microscopes)
This detent spring also fits the nosepieces used in those Lomo Biolam models that have the micro fine focus adjustment built into the base (these are the Biolam models with a two-digit model number, Дxx / Cxx / Pxx)
- Lomo Biolam Д11 / Д12 / Д13 (D series - portable)
- Lomo Biolam C11 / C12 / C13 (S series - for students)
- Lomo Biolam P11 / P12 / P13 / P14 / P15 / P16 / P17 (R series - working microscopes)
In addition, this detent spring fits the nosepieces used in the microscopes:
- sold in Germany under the names Bresser Biolam and Bresser Erudit, including the newest ones with illumination integrated into the base
- and the same microscopes sold in the United Kingdom under the name Zenith Biolam
You will find a comparison table of the first generation Lomo Biolam microscope models (with one digit in the model name) here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/99964-1.
You will find a comparison table of the second generation Lomo Biolam microscope models (with two digits in the model name) here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/photo/99983-5.
You can read about the differences between the Lomo Erudit and the Lomo Biolam microscope here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/microscope/lomo-erudit-207.
ЛОМО marked the series in Cyrillic letters, so the letter engraved on the microscope does not always mean what it seems to mean at first glance: Д stands for the Latin D, but the Russian C is read as S and the Russian P as R.
The same models in the notation used on Western markets:
- Lomo Biolam D-1 / D-2 / D-3
- Lomo Biolam S-1 / S-2 / S-3
- Lomo Biolam R-1 / R-2 / R-3 / R-4 / R-5 / R-6 / R-7
- Lomo Biolam D-11 / D-12 / D-13
- Lomo Biolam S-11 / S-12 / S-13
- Lomo Biolam R-11 / R-12 / R-13 / R-14 / R-15 / R-16 / R-17
What is this part needed for?
- as a service part in the form of replacing the entire element if it is damaged or heavily worn in the condenser you own
