This is description of this part:
Service element / repair part for mechanical XY microscope stage from Carl Zeiss (West Germany).
Name: roller guide.
This microscope part was removed from a Zeiss microscope stage on which no model designation was provided. Over the years during which Zeiss produced such stages, numerous variants were created (I have personally seen five, for example Zeiss P/N 47 34 28 - 9901 https://www.microscopeparts.eu/microscope/282). Despite this variety, the construction is largely consistent, and most parts are identical.
It is therefore highly likely that the part shown and offered here is compatible with many variants of such microscope stages.
Such stages are interchangeable and can be installed in many Zeiss microscopes, however they are most commonly used in the following microscopes:
- Zeiss Standard 14
- Zeiss Standard 16
- Zeiss Standard GFL
Also often in:
- Zeiss Standard WL
- Zeiss Standard Universal
Note that there are two such guides in the stage. They are made of a soft, thin piece of brass sheet and are often damaged; the bearing rollers also frequently fall out of them.
In the photo gallery there are detailed photos of this element together with the dimensions.
What is this part needed for?
- as a repair part by replacing the entire damaged element
- if you have a microscope stage where this element still works but is of very poor quality.
