Gordon told me the same thing in email. Are you guys really sure about that? All the Ortholuxes I've seen (in photos) were trinocular, and I don't see why...
Definitely goes with an Ortholux. I've seen them used for photomicrography in fluorescence applications, where you'd use the monocular to focus and the move...

American Optical had a condenser known as ( ASPHERIC ) along with the Abbe condenser. Both condensers retailed for the same price per there catalogues. Does...
Dear Wumhenry: Ok, I'm not sure when Leitz started to use the dove-tail on there smaller stands. I know the Ortholux used it in the late 1930s. The Heine...
... Wumhenry, I set up an SM like yours and the condenser fits OK. The Berek fits fine too. I see no reason why a Heine condenser wouldn't work on your SM....
