This is description of this part:
This is a prism for the right (R) microscope eyepiece for the PZO MND-5 binocular head.
The prism is equipped with metal holders that allow adjustment of the prism in order to achieve perfect image collimation, that is, so that the images for the left and right eye are aligned.
VERY IMPORTANT: this prism is installed under the RIGHT eyepiece. The left and right prisms DIFFER and must not be interchanged.
Other commonly used names:
- right prism of the binocular head
- right image reversing prism
- optical path prism - right
- prism (common)
- angle prism (common)
- cemented prism (common)
- mirror prism (common)
- prism block (common)
This is a service element (repair part) of the PZO MND-5 binocular microscope head. Please note that this is an element (component) for a microscope part (binocular head) and not for a specific microscope model.
In the photos showing the complete head, an arrow indicates which element it is and where it is located in the head, in order to clearly identify this part.
What is this part needed for?
- if your head is delaminating, chipped, cracked, scratched, or discolored on the prism
- if the mirror surface is oxidized
- if fungus (mold) has destroyed the anti-reflective surface
