what is this?

[tvagi]

i recently got this piece of gear but i don't have a clue what is it.
it looks to me as part of an enlarger but i would like another opinion!

 

[tvagi]

for those who ask if there is any other inscription,besides "Carl Zeiss Jena" on the front and "1,2" on the back, the answer is no!

 

[tvagi]

what is going on?
nobody knows what is this or am i asking for a quick answer?

Looks to me as if it might be a microscope substage attachment, but there are no doubt those who know more than I and can say whether this is a possibility.

Cheers,

Mystery to me too. Zeiss makes all kinds of optics- could be from any number of things.

The numbers on the metal only go in one direction so I'm ruling out some optometry thing.

i tried to find details about microscope accessories but no luck!

 

[tvagi]

that "optometry thing" was not of a big help either!!!.
i can not find anything.
thank you anyway.

after a long time,i solved the "mystery".
it is a part of microscope,a substage condenser of slanting light beams.
