Thanks Alexsander for the useful information it is strange that the leitz, which has always modified the measures of the new components to make them unusable with the previous models, has kept the same attachment of the lamp in many models such as laborlux (12 S D etc.) Dialux 20 etc. Using the merc...

Hello everybody. My Laborlux D is equipped for fluerescence with the PLOEMOPACK 513.591 and its lamphouse (as shown in figure A), which should be the 102Z model with the mercury lamp and its power supply. I've never used it or turned it on, but I know it works. The reflected light is managed by the ...

Hello everybody Does anyone know, have documents and information about this microscope? mp-6.jpg I found few news on the net. If I'm not mistaken the Leningrad optical factories produced LOMO microscopes, but this brand symbol is different. The history of microscope manufacturers is truly fascinatin...

Hi Bogdan i saw your work on thingiverse. They're very interesting. I am looking for a comfortable filter holder to use for my condenser, I have a laborlux D with the condenser 56, I bought the LK condenser from ebay. The question is: With the condenser 56 I tried to place (with hand-made supports) ...

I have had such bad luck with the hempstead halide euparal that I have almost abandoned it. It is very loose, and even a single tiny springtail is far too thick, let alone a soil mite. The stuff leaks out and leaves large voids. Is there a way to thicken it, or is there some other mistake I am maki...

Some mites have a dark exoskeleton. These can be placed in a clearing agent, and left for a couple of days, directly from the absolute alcohol. Such a treatment will lighten the exoskeleton to such an extent that the specimen becomes more transparent. Remove as much of the clearing agent and mount ...

Hello. I'm interested to know if anyone has used a setup with the Orthomat-W (https://www.ebay.it/itm/234103189242?ha ... Swyt9g~J9p). Can its optics be used in some way as the vario Orthomat? I'm trying to get the best setup (in terms of resolution and contrast for photographic)

thanks tony i'll try it.
what types of insects do you study / photograph?
I saw some photos you posted in your post. they are very beautiful, that's what I'd like to get with polarized light

hi patta, I have read some of your posts. very interesting, I will have a lot to learn from you :) yes it's true, thanks to the focus stacking the last two are not so important so I can concentrate on the color and contrast techniques that I will try as soon as I have the right accessories (my conde...

Guess then that you have to try also c), afocal over the Periplan 10x; Need to mount a standard lens on the camera, like 30 or 50mm for your m4/3, and it looks into the periplan. I have an older Leitz and that's the only way it collaborates. More glass, but also better resolution! To know you're do...

Welcome. What a nice microscope. The variables are several, not infinite. Some of them are more important than others. Anyway, success is very likely. I hope that with a little luck I will be able to realize my project. In the meantime I look at the hundreds of topics in the forum. I tried the meth...

Now that is a beautiful microscope, with wonderful optics (all PL Fluotars?). Looks like a great setup with the stepper motor, too.

Hello, thank you. Unfortunately no. only the 25x is fluotar, EF the others

Greetings to all forum users. first of all I apologize for my bad English. I am Antonio from Catania (Sicily, Italy) I am a former entomologist. I have always used the stereomicroscope for work but now to realize my project (I would like to make artistic photos of insect parts) I got a biological mi...
