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).

Technical Data & Dimensions

* Microscope head: approx. 42 cm (L) × 10 cm (W) × 18 cm (H) | Weight: approx. 3.0 kg

* Arm (extended): Length approx. 77 cm | Weight: approx. 5.5 kg

* Total weight (without case): approx. 8.5 – 9.0 kg

* Power supply input: Primary 100–240 V, Secondary 6 V / 30 W, 30 VA, 50–60 Hz

Condition Description & Legal

* Condition: Used with typical signs of wear. The device has been tested for basic functions (electricity & light source work, optics are clear). The accessories in the case are like-new to unused. The device is expressly offered as a tested used item without warranty for absolute completeness of all housing parts.

* Warranty / Return: Private sale of a used item – no warranty, guarantee, or return.

Shipping & Pickup

* Shipping: Insured shipping is possible. The device will be packaged very carefully and shock-proof. Due to the high total weight and the sensitivity of the optics, shipping may be split into two separate packages to maximize safety.

* Pickup: Personal inspection and pickup in Eberswalde are possible by arrangement.
