At least I could managed to set a led in place of the filament lamp of origin ! As this 3 Watts led is larger then the filament lamp, I couldn't use the base where it is normally set Therefore I've made with a small aluminium plot and 2 iron pieces a new led support (see picture) P1100406.resized.JP...

Thank you for address in Spain and information about Amscope. I'll check this

Hello,
If ever you have such a kind of Nikon infinity Optiphot, or even Eclipse head to sell, I would be interested.
Only a trinocular one!

Thank you


Like these ones :

salut Stefan,

This add-on is presently not very common et more frequently sold in USA, generally above 300 dollars......

happy to meet here a neighbour!
I've been living a long time in Switzerland too (Jura and Genève)

Michel

Hi Stefan

And where did you buy his one?

I'm in France.

Regards
Michel

Thank you I've already seen it , but trying to know shipping cost to Europe, as seller doesn't seem to sell outside USA!

Hello,
Looking for this add on (ref wild 367916) for plan objective of stereo microscope Wild/Leica serie M
But max budget around 300 euros!

Thank's You mean this kind of led: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002270551023.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000013.6.20de1854FIaQKP&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.291025.0&scm_id=1007.13339.291025.0&scm-url=1007.13339.291025.0&pvid=c499c2fe-5d51-48f6-9786-94f396610ad2&_t=gps-id:pcD...

Impossible to change this lamp housing ( a coaxial vertical illuminator ) therefore which has inside several prisms and lenses, in addition to the lenses pair placed besides lamp/led bulb!

I'll try with such a G4 COB 3W LED with a 360° lighting in place of the previous halogen lamp (20W)! But I wonder if a classical dimmer for such low voltage Led could be efficient, as it also seems there is electronic items inside this LED.... My experience has been that, if LEDs are not advertised...

Thank you scarodactyl for information about led models

Hello, Besides my project to modify the original lighting of a Leitz SM-Lux microscope (see post below), I also want to do the same but for an Olympus SZ1145CHI which has a vertical coaxial illuminator This one had a 6v 20W filament lamp therefore I suppose a 2-5W cree LED will be adapted? But the l...

Thank's scarodactyl for detailed information and buckblock idea Some more questions about : - "20k potentiometer" : you mean a new one, or the original one of the Leitz lighting system? - the original filament lamp was a 6v 15W therefore I suppose a 3w Cree LED (xml2?) would be adapted? - for recove...

Yes, and you need a proper power unit for the LED. The original incumbent bulb was fed with AC power, not suitable for any LED.

yes Alexander, I'm aware that a different power unit for led, even with a dimmable unit, will be necessary .....

@Alexander Thank's for the link, but I don't want to spend so much for that.... @scarodactyl yes I would prefer to do it by myself as I'm quite handy (even not very skilled with electronic/electricity), but I've no 3D printer! And I think it would be necessary to make a kind of adapter to put in pla...

Hi, just a up Or If anybody has an idea or a link to another Led ligthing kit (or in doing by yourself!) which could fit this microscope? I think there is just a very small place to install a LED with its heat support, in place of original lamp support (see attached picture)! But perhaps I'm wrong :...

Sorry Maarten, But it sems to be impossible to answer your private message as your address is refused! I could be interested by your Olympus TL2 depending on price (including shipping cost and VAT !) have you perhaps any other accessories for Olympus SZ60 45 or 1145, like auxilary objectives, eyepie...

Thank you PeteM for answer. In fact I've been given an old Olympus SZ1145CHI body with its vertical coaxial illuminator (without transformer!) I would try to fix it again and perhaps even to replace the halogen bulb (which seem very "tired") with a led if it's not too complicate :-) I've seen severa...

Hello,
If anybody has such an Olympus transformer to sell I would be interested.

I'm also looking for information about it's electric characteristics (if anybody knows them?), as if I cannot find one, I could therefore perhaps try with another similar transformer, or to adapt one?

Thank's for your comments. In fact considering the very high cost of these drawing tubes (at least the ones recently offred: 400 -700 euros, almost the price I've bought my M8 with phototube!), I've tried another much more cheaper way.....t. I've bought a small chinese 5MP CMOS USB Microscope Camera...

Yes you are right, this model with Wild ref 308 700 is well adapted for a M8, as stated in its catalogue!
You are more attentive then me

Hi
Thank you very much, but this model for M5 is not adapted for this other M models including my M8!

Hello, Do you think it could be possible to make a drawing device using a Wild beam splitter (ref type 319449)? For use on a M8 Wild stereo microscope I don't know if there is a special optical system between 90° prism (beam splitter) and mirror (at the end of device)? Perhaps anybody has a scheme o...

thank you very much John for the link!

I've got a quote, but finally to expensive to send from US and also French VAT ( a 170euros additional cost to seller price!!!!)......

Therefore I'll try to wait for one offered in Europe

thank you for this Motic reference. But unfortunately Motic doesn't sell it any more according to their European office..... So only second hand could be found also for this model :-) One is offered by Martin Microscope Company in US, but a very high shipping cost is required (140 US dollars ! to Eu...

Hello,

If anybody has such an unused drawing device for a Wild /Leica M serie, I would be very interested......


Anybody knows if ever adaptable devices could fit such M Wild / Leica stereo microscopes?

Thank's Hobbyst46 for your suggestion, but in France all laboratory stuff suppliers only sell to companies or schools, but never to private individuals! And seldom French companies selling to private individuals only have a few basic laboratory stuff don't agree special orders........ @macro_Cosmos ...

Perhaps quality from China changes according to plants and also time?
Could you tell me plant name where you have bought yours please?

Thank's for comments

and for the joke about " to cut square coverslips"
