great service

Thanks very much labperson will give him a call

Hi,
I've been trying to find the correct name for this clip, but I'm unsuccessful. It holds the objective lens in place.
Does anyone know what this is called and where I can find a replacement for it?

Thank you!

It has a few names, depending on which brand service handbook you look at....
index spring, stop spring, detent stop, and simply spring

I prefer to call it the Detent stop spring, it seems to cover most bases!

It would be improper to tout my own business on this forum so I humbly suggest you try a few of the usual repairers in your state first.

Hi labbassistant, if you have several items needing repairs and parts you might want to give Bob Death a call - he does a great job and doesn't charge the earth for it.

There is tricky adjusting bit that refocuses your microscopes. It is just on the turret below the stage I think. I will check and get back to you.
