This is description of this part:
Central lens for the trinocular head of the Wild Heerbrugg M420 Makroskop (macroscope) (Leica M420).
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.
Due to the similar design, it is very likely that this component will also fit the photographic trinocular head of the following macroscope models:
- Wild M400
- Wild M450 (another name: Leica M450)
The macroscope is an advanced stereoscopic microscope with a high-resolution ZOOM objective.
Why are dual names Wild and Leica used? The M400 macroscope was manufactured by Wild Heerbrugg (Switzerland). Later, the Wild company was acquired by Leica and the M420 and M450 models may be labeled either Wild M420 / Wild M450 or Leica M420 / Leica M450. Note: this is different for the Wild M400 model - it does not have a Leica equivalent, because "Leica M400" is a model of a surgical microscope.
What is this part needed for?
- as a service replacement part for the full element
- if the lens in your current head is damaged or heavily degraded
