This is description of this part:
Slider with space for two filters for Leitz Wetzlar Dialux II and Ortholux II microscopes.
This filter holder slides into the slot between the head mount and the objective nosepiece. It can hold, for example, fluorescence barrier filters, a polarization analyzer, a neutral density filter, or a custom DIY project.
Basic parameters:
Slider width: 20 mm
Slider thickness: 4 mm
Number of filter positions: 2
Filter diameter: 19 mm
A slider with a filter holder of these dimensions fits the following microscope models:
- Leitz Dialux II
- Leitz Ortholux II
Note that these are models marked with "II" and not the older black Leitz Dialux and Leitz Ortholux microscopes. It is also not compatible with Leitz Orthoplan microscopes, which require sliders with a width of 30 mm.
This slider is empty - it does not contain any filters and can be configured as desired.
What is this part needed for?
- if you have a microscope without a filter holder slider
- if you want to use a larger number of filters and have dedicated sliders for them
