BLACK ULTRAmicro Flex · Ø 3 mm round · DLC
The window is small and the angle is never the one the instrument was made at. ULTRAmicro Flex is Hahnenkratt's answer to that: a micro mirror on a flexible stem, so the head is set to the case rather than the case worked around the head. This is the smallest of the three, Ø 3 mm, finished in BLACKline DLC so nothing on it flares under coaxial light.
This pack: 1 × Hahnenkratt BLACK ULTRAmicro Flex Micro Mirror, Ø 3 mm round, flexible stem, BLACKline DLC, SS thread · mirror only, handle sold separately
Made by E. Hahnenkratt GmbH, Germany · mfr code B5181
| Ø 3 mm round | The smallest head in the ULTRAmicro range. Where the access is the limiting factor rather than the field of view |
| Flexible stem | Hahnenkratt's flex version. The stem is set by hand to the angle wanted and holds it, instead of committing you to one fixed geometry |
| BLACKline DLC | Diamond-like carbon, extra matt. Hahnenkratt's stated purpose: no disturbing reflections, which is the point of it under a microscope |
| SS thread | Hahnenkratt state the SS simple-stem thread combines with all SS-threaded handles – so it fits what you already own |
› Buy it with the handle and save – the 3 mm mirror and BLACK handle bundle is £64 against £80 bought separately.
› Handle on its own – BLACKline ERGOtouch, same DLC finish, so the whole instrument stays matt.
› One per pack – these are bought singly and by size, not by the box.
› Made in Germany – Hahnenkratt's own description of the range.
3 mm, 5 mm or the oval?
Ø 3 mm goes through the tightest opening. Ø 5 mm gives you more to look at once you have room. The 3 x 6 mm oval is the compromise – narrow one way to get in, long the other once it is there.
How often can the stem be bent?
Hahnenkratt do not publish a bend count, so neither do we. Treat it as you would any adjustable stem: shape it deliberately, and avoid working it back and forth at the same point.
Does it fit a standard mirror handle?
Yes, if that handle is SS thread – which covers the Hahnenkratt handles QED stock. Follow Hahnenkratt's EN ISO 17664-1 processing instructions for reprocessing.
