This is description of this part:
Stage mounting plane and condenser holder module for Wild Heerbrugg M20 microscope along with knob and rack gear.
This element is responsible for the vertical movement of the microscope stage and condenser.
The module consists of the following elements:
- stage support, i.e. the plane to which the microscope stage is attached with four screws
- condenser holder clamp, allowing the installation of a condenser with a diameter of 39.5 mm
- condenser fixing screw
- double-sided knob (focus knob) for adjusting the condenser height with a geared shaft
- rack gear (so-called rack) for vertical travel of the condenser holder
On the last photo, an arrow indicates which element it is and where it is located in the microscope to clearly identify this part.
What is this part needed for?
- Sometimes this element is missing in second-hand microscopes
- If your microscope has a damaged part (knobs, gears, rack, pinion)
- If you're building something DIY yourself
