# Part manufacturer:
Leitz

# Full manufacturer name:
Leitz Wetzlar

# Other names of this manufacturer:
- Leitz Wetzlar, West Germany
- E. Leitz Wetzlar GmbH
- Ernst Leitz Wetzlar
These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official. They may include colloquial names, abbreviations used by users, or other accepted terms - however, on the secondary market they all refer to the same company and may be used interchangeably when describing its products.

# Belongs to category:
Condensers

# Description and specifications:
Condenser with iris diaphragm and flip-out top lens for the vintage Leitz Wetzlar Dialux microscope.

Note - this condenser is installed by sliding it into the guide rails of the condenser holder. It is not a condenser mounted in a circular clamp, therefore it does not have a "diameter" parameter describing it.

This condenser was removed from a Leitz Wetzlar Dialux microscope (the first black model), but to the best of my knowledge it also fits other microscopes from the same era: Leitz Ortholux and Leitz Orthoplan. Important - it does not fit Leitz SM microscopes.

The upper flip-out lens provides the best image quality when working with objectives of high numerical aperture (N.A.). When the upper lens is flipped out, optimal illumination is achieved when using objectives with magnifications below 10x.

# Examples of use
- if you have a vintage Leitz Dialux microscope that is missing its condenser and you would like to complete it using original period parts
- if you have a microscope with a condenser, but the condenser is of very poor quality or damaged (for example a damaged iris diaphragm or lens)
- if you have another Leitz Wetzlar microscope compatible with this condenser (for example a Leitz Ortholux)

# Removed from microscope:
