So I printed some darkfield annuli. At the moment I'm printing phase annuli and after that I still need to make a holder for my phone to take some stable pictures. At the moment I'm still testing the microscope just staring at a hair and a bee wing, I ordered some cover slips but they haven't arrive...

I lowered the condenser to take the picture, normally it is almost at its max height. I'll make sure to move the auxiliary lens out of the way. Here a picture of the lens with rust on it. The rust is coming from the spring inside the objective, it was that way when the microscope arrived so I don't ...

So I have new eyepieces and a condenser. Next step is to try and make some phase annuli and a darkfield plate to place in the condenser. I will print and try some of the annuli found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3067166/files The optics are a bit dirty and the 100X objective is unusable b...

I went ahead and bought new eyepieces, now I only need a phase condenser. I guess https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOMO-LABOROSCOPE-C-PHM-PHASE-CONTRAST-BRIGHTFIELD-DARKFIELD-CONDENSER-NA-0-80/223046873176?hash=item33eea13058:g:kVsAAOSwIphbPlMx:rk:1:pf:0 would work for this microscope? I also found the manu...

The inner diameter of the condenser holder is 37 mm.
would a normal condenser with small cards work, something like https://www.ebay.com/itm/Microscope-Pha ... SwyXNaG~8o

Here are some pictures for the condenser holder:

Hi, my name is Aatjebanaantje and I'm from Belgium. I've always been fascinated by the microscopic world and I've had a stereo microscope for a few years now. In my daily job I work with microscopes and SEM-tools all the time. A few days ago I bought my first "real" microscope, a secondhand Leica Ga...

I have bought a cheap second hand Leica Galen III microscope. However, the microscope came without a condenser or oculars. I measured the tube for the oculars and it's 23 mm inner diameter. I also noticed that 3 objectives are phase contrast objectives, they have a small ring inside. So here are my ...
