This is description of this part:
Side lamp house mount for EPI reflected light illumination used with Zeiss Photomicroscope and Universal microscopes.
This mount allows an additional external light source to be connected. The lamp house is installed on the left side of the microscope, while the built-in mirror prism redirects the light beam into the EPI nosepiece.
Fluorescence light sources are most commonly connected to this mount, but it is completely universal. It contains no filters and can be used with LED, HBO, XBO, halogen or even classic incandescent lamp houses.
If the light source is lightweight (one of the newer models), it can be mounted without any additional supports. If a large, heavy lamp house is used, additional support frames are often employed to carry its weight (these are optional accessories and are not included).
In its current configuration, this mount accepts lamp houses with a 48 mm connection diameter. However, this mounting adapter can be removed, leaving a plain tube that can accept virtually any adapter, allowing almost any manufacturer's light source to be connected.
The last photograph in the gallery shows a Zeiss Photomicroscope III microscope with this lamp house mount installed. An arrow indicates its exact location, making it easy to identify this component.
The video gallery also contains two videos. The first presents this component from different angles and in close-up. The second demonstrates how to remove this EPI lamp house mount using a Zeiss Photomicroscope III microscope (commonly known as the Zeiss Phomi III) as an example.
What is this part needed for?
- if you want to connect an additional EPI reflected light source to your Zeiss Universal or Zeiss Photomicroscope microscope
- if you already have such a lamp house mount but it is in poor condition (for example, the mirror prism is dirty or damaged) and needs replacement
