Leica GZ6 Stereo Microscope Head 0.67x-4x w/ Focus Block For Parts

Leica GZ6 Stereo Microscope Head 0.67x-4x w/ Focus Block For Parts

The Leica GZ6 is a zoom stereo microscope head offering a 0.67x to 4x magnification range, designed for use with Leica's GZ-series stereo microscope stands and bases. This unit is being sold as-is for parts or repair due to two documented mechanical faults: the zoom knob turns freely but does not engage the zoom mechanism, and the focus block drive responds only to the left focus knob — which is missing. The head body, eyepiece tubes, and objective port are physically intact.

Applications

The Leica GZ6 is a general-purpose zoom stereo microscope head used in electronics inspection, PCB assembly, biological specimen preparation, watchmaking, gemology, and light industrial quality control. The GZ series uses a Greenough optical design common to entry- and mid-range stereo microscopes, with a continuous zoom system that adjusts magnification without changing objectives. This particular unit — with a non-functional zoom and a missing focus knob — is well suited as a parts source for repairing another GZ6, as a test or training head, or as a project for a technician comfortable with stereo microscope repair. The intact 50mm objective port and 30mm eyepiece tubes are compatible with standard Leica GZ-series objectives and eyepieces.
