This is description of this part:
Sheet metal cover for the microscope base.
This component is intended for users who want to keep only original parts in their microscope.
If someone wishes to manufacture such a protective cover for the base of a Reichert Zetopan microscope themselves, here are its dimensions:
Length: 223 mm
Width: 156 mm
Sheet thickness: 1.5 mm
The base of the Reichert Austria Zetopan microscope contains the optical light path, and from time to time this area requires maintenance, especially cleaning. Since Reichert Zetopan microscopes are now 50-60 years old, it is not uncommon to encounter examples where this cover has been lost over the years.
Without this protective cover, contaminants can enter the optical light path and reach the mirror prism of either the transmitted-light or reflected-light illumination system, which may result in reduced image quality.

What is this part needed for?
