Help with condenser...
Have a nice day.
Does anybody have the instructions for disassembly of a Leitz condenser as the one that appears in the following link?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
you may have a look here: https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/index. ... ic=13536.0
The explanation is unfortunately in German. If you contact the guy he will sure help you in English

luxicon,
Is gumming up of the oil condensers fairly common?
Is this a procedure that would be worthwhile being familiar with if I can on working with an oil condenser?
Thanks for the info either way!

Gumming-up of oil is a general problem on older microscopes, so any good advice is worth noting.jb89 wrote: Is gumming up of the oil condensers fairly common?

In the case of condenser assemblies the problem is commonly more to do with old lubricants than with immersion oils [but both are possible].
The gumming is caused by evaporation of solvents and by oxidation ... both of which are accelerated by heat ... and in the case of condensers [which can get quite warm] there is also the risk of lubricants migrating to places they were never intended to be. The use of LED illumination has reduced such problems, but older instruments with high-power tungsten lighting are prone.

Somebody seems to have transposed oil immersion condenser for immerse condenser in oil!

Hi, you may like a look at some of the images I took when I did a tear-down of my Leitz 600 series condenser, here's a link to my shared images on G-Photos..hernantoro wrote:Have a nice day.

mrsonchus,
Thanks for the album, that should help a ton if I ever need to pull a condenser apart!
What kind of pin wrench is that?
