Dear all,
I wonder if anyone here can help me put a name on the monster-mincroscope that I just got my hands on. I call it a monster because it weighs upwards 20 kilos and looks like a ww2 tank.
It is a Leitz metallurgical microscope with incident light illumination (6V, 15W). It works quite very well. At 50x and 100X the build in illumination is a bit hazy, but that does not matter much as it works really well with external gooseneck leds on those magnifications. At 200x and 500x, the built in bulb gives a pleasant and clear light.
This was a bit of a spontanous buy with which I am kind of happy, as I often observe non-transparent objects. However, despite some rather serious searching, I have not been able to figure out a name of this model? Anyone have any ideas?
All the best,
n3ee

Sorry, I don’t know the model … but count me envious !
It appears to be the ‘Simplex’ stand with a trinocular head … very nice !

Its' the same general build as their hardness testers. It could be a measuring microscope of some sort.

Thanks for the input. After some more searching, I found a catalogue for this model. Apparently it is a Leitz Multipurpose Microscope equipped with an Opak illuminator. Please see attachment.
Does anyone know what I would need to be able to attach a DSLR with an Amscope DSLR-adatper to the trinocular head? I guess I need something that makes the 38mm photo tube suitable for mounting the 23.2 mm adapter? The Amsscope adapter which I have is one of these: like this one: https://amscope.com/collections/microsc ... ca-can-slr.
