This is description of this part:
Heine microscope condenser made by Leitz Wetzlar.
A Heine condenser allows smooth, continuous switching between different observation techniques:
- bright field
- dark field
- oblique illumination
- phase contrast
It can work with phase objectives of different magnifications and from different manufacturers (it is sufficient to manually adjust the ring diameter).
Basic parameters:
Manufacturer: Leitz Wetzlar
Model: Heine condenser
Mounting diameter: 39.5 mm
Numerical aperture N.A.: variable, up to 1.4
This Heine condenser was designed for microscopes with a condenser holder in the form of a circular clamp (e.g. Leitz SM microscopes). It is not a condenser that slides into mounting rails (as found, for example, in the Leitz Orthoplan microscope).
This condenser fits microscopes from many manufacturers (e.g. PZO, Steindorff Berlin, Zeiss, Carl Zeiss Jena, Leitz, Kremp Wetzlar, Will Wetzlar and many others) equipped with a 39.5 mm condenser holder.
What is this part needed for?
- if you want to use this microscope component in any microscope with a 39.5 mm condenser mounting diameter
