37mm condenser with Amplival/Fluoval?

#1 Post by Piter_ » Thu Aug 22, 2019 9:14 am

Hi everybody.
For my Fluoval microscope I have 1.4NA condenser
Have anybody heart of a condenser mount for an Amplival microscope which would allow mounting standard 37mm condenser?
Thanks.
Petro.

Hi Petro,
for my Zeiss Jena NF I have a condenser holder with cylindrical mount, probably 37mm (I don't know if for sure). As far as I know The condenser mounts of the NF and Amplival are compatible, but I don't have an Amplival to try it.
Do you know the Zeiss Jena brochures that can be downloaded on mikroskopie-online?

Hi Bob.
Thanks.
I had a look on manual for of amplival. And there is something similar to what I was asking. But I cannot locate proper name for it. A colleague has a Meopta analog of NF stand. I may try his condenser to answer question about compatibility.
Best.
Petro.

Hi Petro,
this is what you look for: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Carl-Zeiss-Jena ... 2739136615
The high price comes from the rare condenser, not from the holder.
You best look for condenser + Zeiss to look for such a holder.
