This is description of this part:
Revolver for 6 microscope objectives with RMS thread for the Zeiss IM 35 inverted microscope (also known as the Opton 405).
Catalog number: 47 17 10 (471710)
This turret mounts with a dovetail joint, allowing you to quickly swap out entire sets of objectives without having to unscrew them individually if you have more than one turret.
This allows you to have a complete set of low-power objectives on one turret and a complete set of high-power objectives on the other, quickly swapping them as needed.
What is this part needed for?
- most often if you want a second objective with a separate set of objectives
- if your microscope is missing this element, as it is often removed from used microscopes
- if you have a damaged revolver
