Hello All, I have a flourescent ring light for the above scope, but it mounts on the 0.5X auxiliary lens - that I don't have. If someone could advise the...

Well My own personal experience with Zeiss is that they are rude, inattentive, imperious and they cycle the service in their confocal scopes so that the...
Dear Bruce, I am sorry you had such negative experience with Zeiss service. But I don't think you can generalize. To please everybody, in a company with such...
Yes, I forgot to mention this: there are plenty of independent sevice companies with fantastic customer skills in addition of knowing all about different scope...
... Wow. I can't speak for confocal. Ours is an old Molecular Dynamics, and not under contract. But our two zeiss TEM service engineers (both "old school")...
Then while we are on the subject of Zeiss (One near and dear to my heart at the moment) I would like to address two topics First: I have the utmost respect...
I don't know if this would work, but it's just another thing to try. Try using a very small amount of immersion oil placed between the cover glass and the...
Hi Kevin, Since I posted this morning, I picked up some Loctite Glass Glue - cyanoacrylate based,(couldn't locate Glass Bond) and it seems to do the trick,...
Hello, You might take a look at some of the optical adhesives, such as provided by Norland. These contain no solvents, and are UV curable and are primarily...
Hi Gary, Sounds like a possibility, and I will check it out. I bet this material is much like the Loctite Glass Bond that is UV curable; the Loctite Glass Glue...

Dear Bruce, Ref: LSM-510 META I will look if I can find one. I have a good friend of mine, also a used to be zeiss serviceman, I will ask him if he can help...
Hello David, Often the "old ways" are still the best! Thanks for the information. If I remember correctly, sodium silicate is used for something else in...
Why would you want quartz eyepieces (see message below)? UV radiation can blind you. Fluorescence microscopes have barrier filters to stop UV. UV microscopy...
Hi Mike, I purchased about a pint of sodium silicate on eBay a few months back. You might check that route out. On the other hand, if you send me your ...

Sodium silicate (water glass) is availble in most drug stores here in Oklahoma at $8 to $12 a quart. Once opened it does not keep well as the CO2 in the air...
Yes, they're primarily for UV photomicroscopy, I guess I didn't really specifiy that. Quartz eyepieces are used for projecting a UV light image onto UV...
Thanks a lot. Getting me the Zeiss 510-LSM META Confocal installation manuals would save my bacon. The thing is I cannot buy them from Zeiss because I did not...

... Do you guys mean shortwave? Deep UV is about 100-200 (give or take). At 240nm we are well into the shortwave range. ... Aha! Does anyone know anything...
I don't know if it's a scientifically correct term, but I usually end up referring to far-UV as 200-300nm, while near-UV is 300-400nm. The difference to me...
... auxiliary ... Looking at the data sheet, no thread details are given. (Nice to see that even large companies spell incorrectly, they used the term...
While convention eyepeices can transmit UV, they can probably only transmit significant levels of UV down to around 340nm, with very minor transmission...
