This is description of this part:
FMicrowcope fine focus bearing mechanism of the precision movement system (micro adjustment) for the Wild M20 microscope by Wild Heerbrugg, Switzerland.
This microscope element is responsible for precise (fine / micro) focusing of the microscopic specimen image.
Mechanically, this module is located between the holder to which the microscope stage is attached and the main focusing block with the focusing knobs. Thanks to this, it transfers the rotational movement of the fine focus control into the vertical movement of the microscope stage.
It is worth noting that in the Wild Heerbrugg M20 microscope this mechanism is based on two planes moving on linear guides with bearing balls, rather than on a gear system as used in most microscopes. However, the method of lifting the entire mechanism using a pin is similar to that found in microscopes such as the Lomo MBI-1 or Carl Zeiss Jena Lg.
What is this part needed for?
- as a service element in the form of replacing the complete assembly if exactly this element or one of its component parts is damaged in the repaired microscope
