# Belongs to category:
Revolvers (turrets)

# Description and specifications:
The Ploemopak (in various versions) is an EPI fluorescence device for Leitz Wetzlar microscopes.

I'm offering a Ploemopak for the Leitz Wetzlar Ortholux II microscope here.

- Ploemopak
- Revolver for four RMS objectives
- Carousel with excitation filters
- Built-in barrier filter cubes in the turret
- Built-in iris diaphragm (*)
- Mounting adapter for the arm

(*) The iris diaphragm opens and closes nicely, but when I look at it, I'm not entirely sure if it's assembled correctly. However, it works very well.

All filters and mirrors are functional, with no delamination.

# Examples of use
- if you want to use EPI fluorescence in your Leitz Ortholux II microscope
- if you have an incomplete microscope set and are missing this part
- if you already have a Ploemopak, but it's damaged or in very poor condition

- if you want this device as a spare part
- if you're building your own FL observation device
