Description of the microscope from ZEISS Archives below:
Device name: LT Stand, 1933
The LT stand is a completely innovative microscope stand, whose appearance differs greatly from the previous stands. While it also features the division into illumination apparatus, stage, and observation device like the other stands, the arrangement of these parts is such that the LT stand represents a completely new type with a particularly low build. It has the advantage of a finely adjustable mechanism located below the stage level, allowing all the controls to be close together and enabling convenient work. The usual main tube found in other stands is absent from the LT stand, and it lacks a tilt function. Resting on the robust, elliptically shaped, front-opened base of the stand is a box-shaped housing that contains the gear mechanism for fine adjustment and carries the control knobs for it on the side. At the upper part, the stage carrier is attached to the front. Below this carrier, the rack is fixed in place, on which the illumination apparatus is adjusted in height in the usual way using a drive. Only the mirror is fixed at the lower end of the rack, ensuring that the set illumination remains constant during this height adjustment. On the back of the housing, the slide for fine adjustment, moved by the gear mechanism, glides and carries the upper part of the microscope along with the coarse adjustment. Thus, all the movement mechanisms of the stand are directly arranged above the base. This sequence of individual movable parts results in a considerable depth of the stand below the stage. From here, the intermediate carrier for the optics extends in a large arc and almost horizontally over the center of the stage. This creates space for large objects that need to be examined in parts. The illumination apparatus provided for the LT stand comes in three forms. The illumination apparatus for the LT stand represents a simplification, as the iris diaphragm is located on the folding part of the illumination apparatus without the diaphragm carrier. The diaphragm is no longer rotatable and laterally adjustable but only foldable to the side. Oblique illumination can only be achieved to a limited extent by incompletely folding the diaphragm. The round color filters and special-shaped diaphragms of 32.5 mm diameter can be inserted into the diaphragm, as usual. The stand can be equipped with tables D, E, and G, with monocular and binocular upper tube parts.
