This is description of this part:
Rear sheet metal cover plate from the body of the Carl Zeiss Axiolab microscope.
This particular cover plate was removed from a Zeiss Axiolab re, P/N 45 09 05 (also written: 450905). It also fits the following variants:
- Zeiss Axiolab drb KT, which carries the same number 45 09 05 (450905)
- Zeiss Axiolab E re, 45 09 07 (450907)
- Zeiss Axiolab Pol, 45 09 10 (450910)
This is the plate that the transformer electronics are originally screwed to from the inside (if the microscope has them). What I offer here is the plate only - the bare cover - nothing more.
Many people treat the cover plate and the power supply as one single part. So when the power supply burns out, it is usually unscrewed together with the plate - and taken to the repair shop that way. If the power supply cannot be saved, it often never comes back... and unfortunately neither does the body cover.
In that case the options are:
- cut the cover yourself out of cardboard
- print the cover on a 3D printer
- or simply buy an original cover, like the one offered here.
What is this part needed for?
- if you have a microscope with no rear cover, or the existing one is in very poor condition, for example badly bent
