Zeiss 5-position quintuple DIC nosepiece for Axiovert/Axiophot/Axioplan, compatible with RMS objectives.
The Zeiss 5 Position Quintuple DIC Nosepiece 453176 is an essential microscope accessory designed for use with the Axiovert, Axiophot, and Axioplan series featuring dovetail-mounted nosepieces. This objective turret supports up to five positions, facilitating rapid switching between multiple RMS thread objectives critical for versatile imaging workflows. It incorporates precise rotation with click stops, ensuring accurate alignment and reproducibility during differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy and other advanced optical techniques. This nosepiece is widely used in biotechnology research, particularly in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and molecular diagnostics, where reliable and repeatable objective changeover is necessary for high-resolution observation and bioprocessing applications. Its compatibility with standard RMS objectives makes it popular among researchers focusing on synthetic biology and biomedical engineering workflows requiring high-quality optical performance.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
