This is description of this part:
Rack of the condenser height adjustment mechanism of a microscope.
This rack (also referred to as a toothed rack) fits many microscopes based on the N-117M / DN-117M models.
The N-117M / DN-117M is a reasonably good laboratory microscope manufactured in a Chinese NYO factory and sold worldwide under various names. These microscopes are known and sold, among others, as:
- Delta Optical Genetic Pro (mainly in Poland)
- AmScope B340 / T340 (mainly in the USA and the rest of the world through Amazon)
- Labtron LEM-C10 / C11 / C12 (mainly in the United Kingdom)
- Sigeta MB-207 (mainly in Ukraine)
- Boeco Germany BM-117 (mainly in Germany)
- BestScope BS-2020 (mainly in the USA, shipped worldwide)
- Brunel N117M (mainly in the United Kingdom)
- Apex N-117M (mainly in the United Kingdom)
- Surgifield SM-DN-117M (mainly in Nigeria and West Africa)
- Eurotech DN-117M (mainly in Peru)
- Biocare DN-117M (mainly in Peru)
- Viresa N-117M (mainly in Mexico)
- Eurolab DN-117M
- Nexcope N-117M
- Novel N-117M
This is certainly not a complete list – many sellers give their microscopes their own names, just as Delta Optical does in Poland. The best way to check whether this rack fits your microscope is to compare the appearance of your microscope with the microscope from which this rack was removed (https://www.microscopeparts.eu/microscope/optical-n-117m-388).
The N-117M model has a binocular or trinocular microscope head, while the DN-117M model has a built-in digital USB camera (hence the "D" at the beginning of the name, standing for "Digital") – however, the entire body, and therefore also the condenser height adjustment rack, is the same in both models.
Since the rack of the condenser height adjustment mechanism in this microscope model is made of plastic, it is a component that is very frequently damaged.
What is this part needed for?
- as a replacement part when a damaged rack of the condenser height adjustment mechanism needs to be replaced
