Wanted: FT395 beamsplitter/dichroic filter for Zeiss IV FL Epifluorescence

Hi all, I've been looking for the Carl Zeiss epifluorescence filter sets 01 (H365; BP 365/11, FT395, LP397) or 02 (G365; G365, FT395, LP420), or just beamsplitter/dichroic filter FT395 for some time now. Sadly, I've yet to encounter these, so I was hoping to ask here if anyone would like to sell the...

Replace filters in Zeiss Standard Epi-Fluorescence filter cube

Hi all, I've just got myself the Zeiss Epi-Fluorescence condenser (46 60 00) with a HBO50 (mercury arc) and a filter cube (46 63 01-9901). The filter cube contains two sets of filters, I don't know which exactly, but those are near-useless to me, as I'm specifically interested in 365nm UV fluorescen...

Re: "Semi" Dark field?

Is there is a name for that technique? Have you tried it? Yes there's a name! This seems to be a colour-filtered variant of VBDC (variable brightfield-darkfield contrast), more specifically "condender-based concentric VBDC". This technique was, as far as I know, first named and published in 2011 by...

How to set up a 4f relay?

I've read about 4f relays and how they allow the externalization/projection of the objective back focal plane. It's a fascinating concept and I certainly see some potential (future) use, which led me to investigate how to actually set one up. Although the concept is pretty easy to grasp, I'm slightl...

Re: For sale: Carl Zeiss Jena apochromat 60x w/ correction collar + others

Hello, the 60/0.95 is indeed a dry objective, similar to infamous 40/0.95 but much harder to find wspecially in good condition :) Hi and thanks! I suspected it was rather uncommon, given I couldn't find any documentation on this objective (though the publicly available documentation is quite patchy...

Want to buy: Zeiss Standard Zwischentubus/intermediate tube

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a Zwischentubus/intermediate tube for Zeiss Standard models, article number 473059, used to insert pol or DIC sliders. It wouldn't matter to me if it is "bare", i.e., without any sliders or filters. If someone has one for sale, please let me know :)

Cheers!

Re: Complete Zeiss Standard 18 microscope with 5 objective turret for sale

What model Zeiss microscope do you have DevonianSea? I believe it's a model directly preceding the Standard 14/16/18 line, based on photos seen in an early 60s catalog or brochure. I reckon it was called the Standard RA, but I don't known if there were different names or model numbers for ones with...

Re: Complete Zeiss Standard 18 microscope with 5 objective turret for sale

Dear IanW,

If it's still available, would you consider selling the phase contrast condenser separately?

Kindest regards
