Leitz/Leica

This is one for the collectors. An all original Leitz stand-alone light source. Pole base stand with a lamp unit that has tilt, focus and a filter slot. Original Leitz transformer unit. In very good condition for its age

a rarely found accessory in the used market. a leitz teaching head with integral moving pointer, will attach to any modern leitz compound microscope stand and will except two binocular heads (not supplied).

This is a Leitz Wetzlar photography system in full working order with two cable releases. Complete with its original box it looks hardly used and would date from the early 1950's. It has preset shutter speeds and the focusing eyepiece has cross lines to aid focus. It is rare to find complete units in good condition these days. A collectors piece.

An incident light system that will fit the Ortholux and SM-Lux microscopes. Double iris and filter slots. Condition fully functional but cosmetically average hence the price.

This is an excellent Leica MZ8. It is binocular with a continuous magnification range of x6.3 to x50. The MZ8 has a window on the right hand zoom control knob that shows the magnification chosen. It also has the mechanism to set click stops to audibly indicate changes in magnification over 12 steps. The excellent wide field eyepieces have independent focus systems and a rubberised front piece.

The focus block can be attached to the support pole as shown or if the specimen being studied is particularly shallow it can be easily reversed to get closer for focus. The base is heavy for stability and the horizontal system can be moved easily backwards and forwards and up an down the vertical pole. All original and in very good condition. These do not come up on the used market very often.

This is really a collectors item, a crosshair slide for centring circular rotating microscope stages by Ernst Leitz. Dates from about 1920 and in very good condition

Complete with its original case, these dark ground condensers do not come up very often. This item is in excellent condition and has the Leitz dovetail fitting so it will fit most of the Leitz range. It has a numerical aperture of 0.80 so would be used dry for x10 and x40 objectives.

A binocular Laborlux D in very good condition. The body work has a few small chips on the paint of the base as would be expected and the stage shows some evidence of slides being taken on and off over the years. We always fully assess the objectives of used microscopes and were appropriate replace them. In this case we have replaced the x4 and x20 objectives with our own plan objectives. They are parfocal with the original Leitz objectives which are x10 EF (0.25), x40 Plan (0.65) and x100 plan oil immersion (1.25). Original Leitz x10 eyepieces. Kohler illumination with 6v 20 watt halogen lamps. Flip top lens condenser.

The quality of Leitz (and now Leica) microscopes needs no endorsement here. This is a trinocular Laborlux 12 with phase contrast options. It has a Zernicke phase condenser with a bright field and dark field options as the condenser plate is turned. The microscope has a mix of objectives to make full use of these options. Leitz phase objectives x10, x20 and x40 with x4 and x100 (oil immersion) new plan objectives that are parfocal with the originals. This provides excellent imagining for all three optical systems. Large stage with, as would be expected, some scuff marks caused by slides over the years with drop down coaxial controls. Kohler illumination with 6v 20 watt halogen lighting. The general bodywork is good. The x10 periplan eyepieces are suitable for spectacle wearers should they need to keep their glasses on. Extremely good value.

This is an M45 screw thread Leica objective of excellent quality. It is a x100 plan fluotar oil immersion objective that is infinity corrected with a numerical aperture of 1.30 and corrected for a coverslip thickness of 0.17mm. These do not become available too often these days. The general condition is excellent

This is a condenser lens from the Leitz Labovert that is the classic inverted microscope that Leitz made to look rather similar to a Laborlux, except that the objective turret was below the stage with the light system above. This has the numerical's A0.30 - S50 and a part number of 513635

This is a Leica fibre optic halogen light source with brightness control and a Swiss made (Volpic) fibre optic ring light that will clamp onto any stereomicroscope with a parallel sides bottom lens up to a maximum diameter of 65mm. Condition excellent.

This item really belongs in the Antiques section of this web site. It would date from 1900 or so. It consists of an RMS screw thread and mimics an objective except that it has a small diamond mounted at its end and slightly off centre so when lowered onto the slide/coverslip and rotated it leaves and etched circle for future reference. Complete with original 'objective' pot

In very good condition, this is a Leica focusing spot light for use with stereomicroscopes. Quartz halogen lamp unit with brightness control.

This is a very rare Leitz product. It is an ergonomic head that allows angle of the eyetubes to be adjusted through about 30 degrees to suit the height of the individual. It will fit the following Leitz models Laborlux K, 11, 12, and D, Dialux 20, 20EB, 22 and 3A. Eyepieces not included. Condition excellent
