This is description of this part:
Blanking cover for an empty filter cube slot in the Zeiss Axioskop 20 microscope.
This cover enables operation in transmitted light. This component has the Zeiss catalog number 451495-0100 (45 14 59 - 0100).
The basic versions of the Zeiss Axioskop 20 microscope, intended only for transmitted light operation, do not include any filter cube. In such cases, this type of blanking cover is required to prevent dust from entering the optics.
What is this part needed for?
- if you have a microscope without a filter cube and without a cover
- if for any reason you need to remove your filter cube and do not want to leave an open slot
