Leitz Condenser
This is a Leitz dovetail condenser with a numerical aperture of 0.25 and focal length of 62. From the inversion of the markings it was probably from an inverted unit originally. No iris diaphragm.

Leica x100 HCX Objective (3147)
This is an M45 screw thread Leica objective of excellent quality. It is a x100 plan fluotar oil immersion objective that is infinity corrected with a numerical aperture of 1.30 and corrected for a coverslip thickness of 0.17mm. These do not become available too often these days. The general condition is excellent

Leica Stereomicroscope Spot light
In very good condition, this is a Leica focusing spot light for use with stereomicroscopes. Quartz halogen lamp unit with brightness control.

Leitz Projection Attachment
Before the digital world with its cameras and projection devices arrived, it was somewhat unique to be able to share microscope images with others. This Leitz projection attachment was designed to do just that. It clamped over the eyepiece of a microscope and its prism deflected the image that the microscope saw to a screen. A part of our microscope history.

Leitz Laborlux 12 Binocular (3103)
In 1986 Leitz re branded itself as Leica a name formed from the first three letters of its founder (Leitz ) and the first two of the word camera for which it was also renown. This Laborlux 12 is one of the most popular Leitz microscopes. There would be few pathology laboratories throughout Europe that would not have used these models as their standard workhorse as they combined a sturdy built quality with excellent optics. This good example has a binocular head with periplan x10 eyepieces suitable for those preferring to keep the glasses on. Original Leitz objectives in very good condition x10 EF (0.25), x40 EF (0.65) and x100 EF oil immersion (1.25). The x4 and x25 are parfocal new plan objectives to replace existing objectives that did not still meet the standard required. Coaxial low position coarse and fine focus controls. Kohler illumination with a 6v 20 watt lamp in an external light box. Stage surface, apart from a small scuff area caused by slide being repeatedly added to and removed, and body work in very good condition for its age. A very good buy.

Leitz Parallax Photography System
This is a Leitz Wetzlar photography system in full working order with two cable releases. Complete with its original box it looks hardly used and would date from the early 1950’s. It has preset shutter speeds and the focusing eyepiece has cross lines to aid focus. It is rare to find complete units in good condition these days. A collectors piece.

Leica GLS 150X Light Source
This is a Leica fibre optic halogen light source with brightness control and a Swiss made (Volpic) fibre optic ring light that will clamp onto any stereomicroscope with a parallel sides bottom lens up to a maximum diameter of 65mm. Condition excellent.

Leitz Diamond Slide marker
This item really belongs in the Antiques section of this web site. It would date from 1900 or so. It consists of an RMS screw thread and mimics an objective except that it has a small diamond mounted at its end and slightly off centre so when lowered onto the slide/coverslip and rotated it leaves and etched circle for future reference. Complete with original ‘objective’ pot

Leitz Labovert Condenser Lens (3229)
This is a condenser lens from the Leitz Labovert that is the classic inverted microscope that Leitz made to look rather similar to a Laborlux, except that the objective turret was below the stage with the light system above. This has the numerical's A0.30 -

Leica DM500 Binocular (3298)
This is still a current Leica model and this individual unit is in pristine condition and presents as new. The DM500 in many ways represents an innovation from Leica. It is based on the same optical platform as the Leica Microsystems research line but is constructed in such a way to minimise as far as possible the need for the user to set things up all the time. It is an ideal instrument for those who want to combine the exceptional quality of Leica optics with a microscope that is constantly ‘plug and play’.
The DM500 has a pre-
The microscope has infinity corrected M25 thread plan objectives x4 (W.D. 26.2mm), x10 (W.D. 7.8mm), x40 (W.D. 0.31mm) and x100 oil immersion (W.D. 0.10mm). 45-
Coaxial low position coarse and fine focus controls. The back of the microscope has an integrated carrying handle and a neat storage space for the electrical lead. This is a fine microscope. If you have ever wanted an automatic Rolls Royce that can drive itself, in the microscope world this is it.

Leica DMLS Trinocular with Camera (3305)
The DMLS is a classic Leica microscope introduced for clinical/research applications in 1996. This is a very good example. It is trinocular with one of our own digital cameras attached complete with software (Windows or Apple MAC), cables and IT support if needed.
It is equipped with a fine set of M25 Leica infinity corrected objectives. x5 (0.12), x10 plan fluotar (0.30), x20 PLF (0.50), x40 PLF (0.70) and x100 Hex PLF oil immersion (1.30) combines with x10 LPlan eyepieces that are suitable for spectacle wearers if needed.
Kohler illumination with 12v 30 watt halogen lamp. Abbe condenser with a numerical aperture of 1.25 that has focusing and lateral adjustment. Good size mechanical stage with drop down coaxial controls.
Low position coarse and fine focus controls. The trinocular head has a 3M Digicam digital camera and the software supplied allows still images, video clips and direct measurement together with the usual colour, brightness and contrast adjustment.
Not many of these in this condition around these days.

Leica ES2 Stereomicroscope (3303)
The Leica Microsystems ES2 ster3omicroscope was designed as a University student system. It is easy to use, durable and features high optical and illumination quality. It is a two step system offering x10 and x30 magnifications controlled by a click stop mechanism.
It has x10 integrated high eyepoint eyepieces at an angle of 60 degrees for comfort. It has a working distance of 100mm.
Integrated LED incident and transmitted illumination controlled by separate switches. Condition is pristine. An excellent opportunity to obtain the quality of Leica optics at an affordable price.

Leica MZ6 Long Arm Stereomicroscope
This is a modern Leica zoom stereomicroscope on a substantial long arm system. It is all original and in good condition throughout. x10 super wide field eyepieces with independent focus control. The magnification zoom range is from x6.3 to x40 via two side arm controls. The head is binocular and in good condition. The stand is substantial in size but not overly heavy because the central pole is hollow. The interlocking of the two parallel arms is excellent and gives the unit great stability.
