NOTE THAT OBJECTIVE LENSES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE. IF YOU NEED THEM I CAN SUPPLY THEM FOR A DIFFERENT PRICE. THERE ARE OBJECTIVE LENSES SEEN IN THE PICTURES BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED AT THIS PRICE. I have assembled this very high quality system with the platform of a Carl Zeiss Standard microscope. This microscope which came out in 1950 is a classic among all microscopes. It was manufactured with the foresight of having accessories which could enable polarization microscopy as well a fluorescence microscopy. In addition to the Standard Microscope the following accessories are included: a CZ fluoro-condenser #46-63-01-9901 and #46-63-00-9901 with the filter cube CZ#46-63-01-9901 and an installed UV cutoff filter (365 nanometers), a CZ lamp-housing #46-72-59-9901, a Universal arc-lamp power supply XBO75, HBO100 watts #990022, a brand new 100 watt Osram bulb model BW.HBO100W.2. Additionally I have included a 2 piece polarization setup which includes one linear polarizer installed in the slider that is part of the fluoro-condenser and a second linear polarizer which fits perfectly on the top of the field illuminator. Within the tube of the condenser there is a slider which has a cooling filter installed in it so you don't fry your specimen. There is a fully functioning lamp in the base of the microscope which is bright enough for use of a 100x objective lens. Also included are 2 microscope stages. One is the original stage supplied on this microscope and the second stage which I have mounted on the scope is a Carl Zeiss 47-34-15-99-01 stage from a Zeiss Axioscope which is quite a bit larger than the standard stage and it has calibrations for the X and Y directions which is not found on the standard stage. The larger stage is priced between 0 to 0 presently on ebay. Both stages work smoothly.I have included two ocular lenses. They are Leitz Periplan GF 10x/20 which are great oculars (I own 3 Leitz microscopes). AGAIN THERE ARE NO OBJECTIVE LENSES INCLUDED WITH THIS PACKAGE.
NOW FOR THE ONLY NEGATIVE NEWS. The lamp housing #46-72-59-9901 had a l00 watt lamp in it when I purchased it and it worked well when I turned it on. However more recently It wasn't providing any light so I thought it must need a new bulb which I purchased for . I was naieve to think I could change the bulb myself and found out that I don't have the necessary knowledge or tools. I was able to get the new bulb into the housing but it wont illuminate so I did something wrong. When I decided to take the bulb out I have been unable to open it to get the bulb out. Since there are no qualified microscope technicians in the Albuquerque area where I live it would require me to send the housing off to Phoenix or Denver which are both about 8 hours drive from me. I therefore am lowering the package price by which is what I paid for the housing. If you have a technician near you you can have him remove the bulb which is a new bulb and either install it properly on this supplied housing or you can purchase a copy of it on ebay where there is currently one for sale for 0. The power supply is in great condition and works flawlessly. Lastly I am going to include 2 slide preparations for polarized light. One of caffeine and the other of Resorcinol and Urea. I am the manufacturer of the slides and you can find 28 different preparations on my ebay web page all of which were made by me.
I intend to ship in 2 packages, one with the scope and the other with the accessories. I will use USPS PRIORITY MAIL. It will be fully insured.
