Lynx Stereo Dynascope

#1 Post by zeew » Mon Jun 03, 2019 1:07 pm

Hi,

I'm a real noob when talking about microscopes. Company I work for was dumping that microscope (see picture) as they did an upgrade on all their lab equipment. All I got was that microscope. I can see there is connection on the led lamp and back of the microscope. I was wondering do you know what i need to buy to get it going ?? I plugged in cable on the back of it but only blue light and something like fan comes on.I cant see anything looking through the scope. Thanks

As a stop gap, it may be that you can put a normal stereo head on in place of the vision engineerong projector. Vision engineering does make a stereo with a normal head (the Beta I think) amd I have seen one of those geads mounted on a Leica mz6. So it may be a Leoca bino head would fit, and allow you to use it as a normal stereo.
Sorry, tha may not be much help for the real issue.

I'm curious too. They're really strange scopes!

VisionEngineering microscope are truly amazing. For soldering and repairing electronics, they offer a working experience next to nothing. They're also very expensive.

What makes them unique is you don't need to focus your eyes on the eyepieces and this prevents eye fatigue.
