![]() ![]() The binocular eyepiece tube contains two Huygens eyepieces 5×, signed ‘Carl Zeiss Jena’ (in logo)’. This is an objective for use without cover glass. (5): signed ‘Carl Zeiss’ (in logo), later addition, possible 1960-1970. 0.85 / Homogene / Glycerin Immersion / Tube 160 mm. Objectives, all signed ‘Carl Zeiss Jena’ (in logo). Below the limb a quadruple nosepiece changer, above the binocular eyepiece. The microscope has a circular stage which can be centred and rotated. with iris diaphragm that can be adjusted in height by means of rackwork, the condenser can be moved out of the optical axis as well. This specimen has below the stage a concave and flat mirror in a bracket, a condenser N.A. In this way it is possible to create the desired optical tube length of 160 mm for which Zeiss objectives are designed. The great advantage of this horizontal U-stand is its stability and heavy attachments like binocular tubes and micro-photographic apparatus do not rest on the delicate adjustment mechanism anymore.Īll of these microscopes do not have an actual mechanical tube anymore, this is compensated for by one or more lenses in the limb between the objective and the eyepiece. Ultimately this resulted in the development of the horizontal U-stand which is popular today. This has been changed over the years, in later microscopes with a L-shaped limb the limb and the foot are molded in one piece and the coarse and fine adjustments both act on the stage. ![]() In this early example of a L-stand both the coarse and the fine adjustment act on the L-shaped limb. However, in more demanding applications where a heavy camera and binocular tubes were needed, the old horseshoe stand was not stable enough and less convenient to use. The old inclinable horseshoe stand with its long body tube was well suited for simple applications where just an eyepiece was used, this type of stand was produced until the end of the twentieth century. The L-stand was a revolutionary innovation. This is an early example of the new L-stand which was sold by Zeiss since circa 1932. ![]()
