In 1986 Leitz re branded itself as Leica a name formed from the first three letters of its founder (Leitz) and the first two of the word camera for which it was also renown. This Laborlux 12 is one of the most popular Leitz microscopes. There would be few pathology laboratories throughout Europe that would not have used these models as their standard workhorse as they combined a sturdy-built quality with excellent optics. This good example has a binocular head with periplan x10 eyepieces suitable for those preferring to keep the glasses on. Original Leitz objectives in very good condition x10 EF (0.25), x40 EF (0.65) and x100 EF oil immersion (1.25). The x4 and x25 are parfocal new plan objectives to replace existing objectives that did not still meet the standard required. Coaxial low position coarse and fine focus controls. Kohler illumination with a 6v 20 watt lamp in an external light box. Stage surface, apart from a small scuff area caused by slide being repeatedly added to and removed, and body work in very good condition for its age. A very good buy.

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 a vintage piece of equipment perfect for the Leitz collector. A Leitz Wetzlar photography uit complete with photoeyepiece and a focusing 'periscope' that has a grid for target decisions. Shutter speed options and a port for cable release. Relatively rare in working order these days.

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 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
