This is description of this part:
Replacement part for the Zeiss IM 35 / ICM 405 inverted microscope.
This is an anti-reflective Telan lens located below the microscope head.
This lens was removed from a Carl Zeiss IM 35 microscope. Note that the database also contains a Telan lens removed from the twin model, the Carl Zeiss ICM 405 (here: https://www.microscopeparts.eu/part/99708). The dimensions, the function it performs and my knowledge of the design of both microscope models lead me to believe that both lenses are identical - but since they were physically removed from two different microscope models, they are listed separately in the database.
The photos show the dimensions and exact appearance of this component from various angles. The first photo also shows the lens's precise position within the microscope.
What is this part needed for?
- if the lens in your microscope is damaged, e.g. cracked, scratched or has a damaged anti-reflective coating
