If one is lost in the dark, or the rubber stopper wears out, the follow-up lens will no longer be stable and your alignment will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This loose screw is the replacement. The rubber cap on the tip presses against the tube without causing a dent or scratch, and at the same time holds the screw in place through friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-M8x55-Schroeven-voor-Volgkijker-ringen-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon M8 screw of 55 mm with rubber stopper for follow-up ring\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-M8x55-Schroeven-voor-Volgkijker-ringen.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon M8 screw of 55 mm with rubber stopper for follow-up ring\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>M8 threaded screw with a thread length of 34 mm<\/li><li>Total length of 55 mm<\/li><li>Rubber stopper protects the probe tube<\/li><li>Aluminium with coating: light and corrosion resistant<\/li><li>Comes as a separate screw<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This size is common for Omegon follow-up rings.
