Hello Gang

 I found few days ago a beautiful Leitz Laborlux K (with fluorescence) at a price no one could refuse…

 😇 So here’s I’am with the beast, but I do not enjoy that much the small bino head and quite narrow view field. My question is : which better trio/bino head (with 30 min WF ocular if p...

Thanks you Michael.
Very interesting and informative Pdf !

Hello Gang,

Please pardon my newbie question : what is antiflex cap for and use ?
Thanks you.

Yes @apochronaut I have an optovar. So with an eyepiece x10 and the Optovar x2,5, I might be around the limit of the Apo dry objective NA 0.95 .

Yes it is far higher than my 25x and a bit lower than the 40x.

Do you think something can be done ? Extension on the objective or at the eyepiece level ?

@Apochronaut, thanks you for these historical information. It seems now that the objective would de more efficient if the tube was a little smaller of 20 mn (the protubing part above the tread) @Scarodactyl, by the way it is impressive that it lower the magnification of around 25% Instead of a 50x/0...

Hello @Greg thanks you for these usefull input, it gives me one more motivation to keep as much as I can, every pieces from the same brand on each microscope. By the way Axiomat an Axioplan are both Zeiss from the same era. @Scarodactyl, thanks you for the information. This objective is quite specia...

Hello all, I adapted a Zeiss 50x/0.95 dry objective from an Axiomat Zeiss (infinite) to my Axioplan (infinite). It works perfectly but... obviously the magnification I obtain is lower than the one I have with the 40x/0.75 objective ! Is there an explanation or is my 50x damaged ? Contrast, image and...

Thanks you both of you Scarodactyl and Pete. I’m asking that as I received a beautifully Apo objective for Axiomat. So the thread part on the objective is not on the top but 1/3 down, and there is a huge upper protubing part that needs to be covered by an extension tube. I did something with tape + ...

Hello Gang,

I’m searching some objective M27 thread extension tube (15 or 16 mm). Some idea/links for a good cheap source as I didn’t found some in Ebay.
Thanks you all.

Hello Gang,

Does someone has good links for flotation kits to buy/make and good tutorial please ?

Thank you

Thanks a lot, I’m going to try that...

Can you please show me a picture of the tape roll, as I’m in Europe - and not English native speaking - so it is still a bit confuse

That’s seems beautiful...

Where did you get the filter ?

Thanks you for the information 75RR.

So I’d Better forget my experiment

But by the way, what the use in this kind of objective, for the options “Immersion with no cover glass” for glycerine or water ?

Hello Gang,

I’d like to know if it would be wise or dumb to use my neoFluar x25/0.80 Multi Imm Zeiss directly in thin layer of pond’s water to avoid using cover (as there is an option for W Imm with no cover) ? Or do I risk to spoil it (sand...) ?

Thanks you all for your inputs...

Hello everyone,

I’d like to improve my Axioplan Zeiss with new oculars in 12,5x (or 15x) with a field as wide as possible ( and glasses compatible).

Which ones would you suggest to me (to look for on the Net) . And is there someone here that had a pair to sell ?

Thanks for your advice .

No one with an Axioplan/Axiophot around ?

@viktor, thanks you a lot. These article are a huge source of more than precious informations...

Very interesting piece of information @Viktor. Does it leans that I do not need DIC Neofluar to achieve DIC (as long as the condenser and the prism bounty fit) ?

Hello gang,

I have a newbie question :
Some of my objectives are Pol ones. When I use an adequate DIC prism (and adequate condenser) with these polarized objectives it seems to work quite well as a DIC set up. Does I do/have something wrong ?

Thanks to you all for these advice and information. It is going to help me a lot.

Hello Gang, I recently bought 2 Phase Contraste objectives Olympus FL PL x40 and x100 (tube 160) to update my Labophot II. I’m waiting to receive them shortly. In the same time, I’m searching an Olympus Phase condenser and found one : CX-PCD but it is for Infinity objectives ! My question : will thi...

Hello PeteM For now, on this one, nothing very fancy but it will evolve... A standard misaligned head (picture) 3 standard Nikon objectives (half silver grey mat and half black on the upper part + a silver ring) x10/0,25, x20/0,40, x40/0.65 1 standard Olympus objective x60/0,80 ( silver grey mat wit...

Thanks you PeteM, I have standard Nikon oculars and a mix of Nikon and Olympus objectives (that seems to work properly) ! I found this afternoon a decent deal on 2 Ph FL PL ones from Olympus. (Do I need better Olympus ocular ?) By the way my condenser is a Nikon BF - DF - PH 1 to 4, I hope it will f...
