Gaertner Rotary Right-angle Adapter for Micrometer

This is an unusual accessory for the Gaertner precision measuring slides. It consists of a rotary flange which can be installed in the threaded bush of the microscope carrier in place of the microscope. Once the bushing is installed, the angle bracket is fitted into the bushing and secured with a wingnut from beneath the slide carriage. The tension on the joint may be regulated by the wing nut.

The angle bracket has a large threaded bushing perpendicular to the plane of the slide. The internal thread of this bushing is identical to that used on the carriage slider, allowing instruments to be mounted at right-angles to the plane of motion. The direction of the instrument may be selected by rotating the entire bracket, and the orientation of the installed instrument may be adjusted by turning the bushing. There is a locking screw to clamp the bushing in the desired position.

I have not seen this accessory illustrated in any of the literature, but it is very well made. Please note that the precision cross-slide shown in the photos is not included. We have many suitable cross-slides available.
