This is description of this part:
Retaining screw for attaching a microscope head (for example a binocular head or trinocular head) to the stand of Olympus CH series microscopes.
This particular screw was removed from a Olympus CH microscope, but it will most likely fit most models of the CH series, for example:
- Olympus CHK
- Olympus CHB
- Olympus CK2
- Olympus CH
- Olympus CH-2
What is this part needed for?
- Sometimes this screw is missing in used microscopes.
- This screw is often damaged because when it wouldn't turn due to dried grease, someone used pliers to turn it.
