Description from the seller
Carl Zeiss Jena Colposcope / Examination Microscope with Articulation Arm and Integrated Power Supply.
Product Description & Details
For sale is a professional, robust optical examination unit (operation microscope / colposcope) of high quality, complete with a flexible articulated swinging arm, integrated power supply. This set combines precision engineering with extensive functionality.
1. Microscope Head & Optics
* Manufacturer quality: The optics originate from Carl Zeiss Jena, renowned for excellent glass quality.
* Condition of the lenses: The lenses and optics are clear, not milky, and show no haziness or scratches.
* Function & settings: Binocular view with adjustable eyepieces, diopter adjustment, and precise focus controls.
* Tested illumination: The integrated lighting has been successfully tested. The electronics (plug/cable) work flawlessly, and the lamp shines brightly.
* Note on the housing: At the front area of the lamp cover on the housing, a cover or a specific accessory device may be missing. This does not affect the light function, but absolute completeness of the housing cannot be guaranteed (see detail photos).
2. Articulated Arm & Power Supply
* Flexibility: The multi-jointed heavy-duty support arm enables stable and highly flexible positioning of the microscope in the room.
* Stability: Solid locking knobs (red and black) lock the device securely in the desired position.
* Integrated transformer: The power supply housing at the base of the arm is equipped with an on/off switch, a voltage selector (100–240 V), and the connector socket for the illumination cable.
3. Interaction of Arm & Microscope
The microscope head is mounted on the articulated arm via the integrated guide rail. The combination yields a stable, ergonomic system for precise work with a large range of motion.
4. Comprehensive Accessories
Included is an original Carl Zeiss Jena accessory case (light-colored housing with a red logo). It contains:
* Equipment + large black case
* Various filters: Blue and clear optical filter plates for different contrast examinations.
* Spare parts / small components: A spare pair of rubber eyecups and a spare bulb (both new/originally packaged).
