Hi Doug, Not sure from your posting what you've got in addition to the basic stand. 10x KPL W seems the usual choice. However, my Universal came with Nikon...
Hi Doug. One thing I forgot to mention in my first reply to you is that the stiff coarse focus may be caused by the clutch being too tight. This is rhe knurled...
Hello: I have a Leitz Diavert inverted microscope equipped for Phase Contrast Transmitted Light. It has a Phase No. 1 annulus (Part No. 520 381; W- ...
I'm trying to make up something like an illustrated inventory of parts and would like to extract small pics or line drawings from a .pdf file I didn't create....
Thank you. I just went to get the .pdf file to play with from the Linos Photonics web site and discovered they now have individual pics of the parts, and I can...
Hi John & Gary, If you can't get a picture to save enlarge it on the screen as much as you before it falls apart and use a screen capture utility. I use any...
We have had a small outbreak of these. I don't know what they are. Brown segmented body White hairs Lots of legs (just about visible in 1st photo) About 2mm to...
i would go with a woodlouse of some description, most inverts will favour a warmer area as their metabolism is dependent on temperature, what worries me is in...
James, correct me if I'm wrong but the simple diavert condenser has an NA of 0.25, which is too low to be used with most 40/0.65 phase objectives. You can...
Hi, Although they superficially look like woodlice they certainly look very different to woodlice I have encountered in the UK; its seems as if your sepcimens...
These appear to be carpet beetle larvae (Dermestidae: probably Anthrenus sp.). They would thrive in the warm environment you mention - scavenging on bits of...
Hi- I recently acquired 2 scopes: a Leitz laborlux 12 HL and a Laborlux 12 ME. These are metallurgical scopes I guess since they don't have any substage...
Hi Everyone - I'm new here and looking for some information on 2 new microscopes that I recently bought to classify pollens. They are the Leitz Laborlux 12ME...
Hmmm, does look pretty similar. Except, these appear to have lots of legs, like a woodlouse - maybe 13 pairs? I have added a couple of new photos showing a...
Oops, forgot to trim my last post - sorry. I also forgot to add that we have been seeing these the last few years but we never see anything that I would...
Andy: thanks for the extra photos - which clearly shows that my first ID was wrong! These guys are Polyxenus sp. - pincushion millipedes, family Polyxenidae. I...
Many of your pictures show: 'metamerism' (repeating body plan modular units, as with cattepilar, or mealworms, or wax worms, etc.,etc.), there is no reason...
Harry, Try the website http://www.gtimicrosystems.com/equipment_leitz_objectives.html for Leitz objective designations. Also, there is a partial list of Leitz...
Hah! That's definitely them! Thankyou so much. Apparently it's a millipede! - I never would have guessed! Looks like it ought to be Polyxenus lagurus aka...

Hi Ross, Thanks, I did discover the clutch adjustment. I have the version with the black knobs, so the clutch is a ring with holes for akey to grab. I rigged...

... Rick, have you had this camera long enough to give us a report on how well all this works together in practice? For example does the live view work well...
I'm thinking of getting one of these as many dealers offer them here in the UK -does anyone have one or know anything about them? I'm thinking they may be...
