The Zeiss tube lens 425308-0000-000 is required to use infinity-corrected Zeiss microscope objectives on microscopes from other manufacturers - including those designed for 160 mm tube length. It is also very often used in super macro photography to connect infinity-corrected objectives to a camera.
This element can be a solution to the following issues:
- How to repair or replace the prism in the Zeiss 425503 photo tube?
- What to do in case of prism delamination in the Zeiss 425503 head?
- Repair of a mechanically damaged Zeiss 425503 trinocular tube
- What to do if the Zeiss "tube lens" 425308 is damaged, scratched, or of poor quality?
- Can Zeiss objectives be used on microscopes from other manufacturers?
- Can infinity-corrected objectives be used on a 160 mm microscope?
- How to take super macro photos using infinity-corrected microscope objectives?
And once again at the end: carefully look at the photos. Note that this trinocular (photo tube) does not include a binocular eyepiece head.
