# 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:
Adapters

# Description and specifications:
A photo tube that allows a projection eyepiece to be mounted on the trinocular head of Leitz Wetzlar microscopes.

Photo / trino heads for Leitz Wetzlar microscopes have a standardized mount of 38 mm diameter into which various tubes can be fitted. One of exactly these tubes is presented here.

Basic parameters of the tube presented here:
Markings on the housing: "Germany" on one side and "30ø" on the other side
Mounting connection: a plain tube (cylinder). This is not a tube with a thread or a dovetail
Mounting diameter: 38 mm, that is the standard mounting diameter used in Leitz Wetzlar trinocular heads
Internal optics: none - this tube has no optics inside
Internal diameter: the tube has an internal diameter of 30 mm, so that a projection eyepiece of exactly that diameter can be fitted inside

The trinocular heads this tube fits are used among others in the following microscopes:
- Leitz Wetzlar Orthoplan
- Leitz Wetzlar Diaplan
- Leitz Wetzlar Ergolux
- Leitz Wetzlar Dialux
- Leitz Wetzlar Laborlux
- Leitz Wetzlar SM-LUX
- Leitz Wetzlar Ortholux II
- Leitz Wetzlar Aristoplan
- Leitz Wetzlar HM-LUX

This is not a tube for one particular microscope model. A trino head can be mounted not only on the microscope it was sold with, so the correct assumption is that this is a standard tube for Leitz Wetzlar trinocular heads - and those can be used on most microscope models of this company.

The last photo in the gallery shows what this tube looks like with a 30 mm eyepiece fitted.

The "compatibility" section lists example microscopes this tube fits, although the list is not complete.
