Description
Lomo MIK-4 Infrared Microscope - rotatable insert (Lomo INF slider) with IR filter and iris diaphragm for the microscope condenserRotatable insert (slider) with infrared filter and iris diaphragm for the microscope condenser of Lomo microscopes of the MIK series (e.g. MIK-1 or MIK-4).
Model: Lomo INF
Mount diameter: 35 mm
This insert fits condensers used in the following Lomo microscopes:
- MIK-1
- MIK-4
- Polam (all models)
- MIN-8
and most likely also in other microscopes that use similarly designed condensers. Note - to make sure that this insert fits your condenser, be sure to check the diameter of this element.
The transmitted light condenser in these microscopes features:
- interchangeable upper lenses to obtain the required aperture
- a diaphragm located below the upper lens
- a slot for inserting a IR filter insert (the insert may, but does not have to, include an additional iris diaphragm)
In some cases, this insert alone can be used without the condenser - the effect is similar to a condenser with a IR filter of low N.A.
This element is often used by owners of microscopes from other manufacturers to convert their condenser into a infrared condenser.
Since this element can be removed relatively easily, it is very often missing in microscopes from the secondary market.
IMPORTANT - this is not a separate microscope condenser. It is a component of the condenser, even though it is sometimes used as a substitute for a condenser.
