Polarizing filters for a Leitz Dialux 20EB

#1 Post by Norbert » Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:04 pm

Hi all,

Due to the whole Corona crisis here in Europe I'm mostly working from home these days. That means that the Olympus-beast on my desk at work is collecting dust and my own little Leitz Dialux 20EB is reliving its youth. I'm reading histology slides (I'm a veterinary pathologist) and I am sometimes aided in making a diagnosis by using a polarizering filter. My Dialux has a filterslot above the objectives and I guess I can put another filter on the field diaphram. Does anybody of you know a filterset which would work on my microscope? I'd rather use Leitz-orginial components, but I'm willing to go for a good alternative of course.

Cheers and stay safe everyone!
Norbert
