Dialux and LM-LUX

DIALUX and LM-LUX

Classic Leitz biological laboratory microscopes with Koehler illumination. Several are available with basic brightfield equipment or set up for oil darkfield studies of live blood, bacteria or aquatics. Available with high intensity fiber optic illumination as well as Ploem illuminators for fluorescence studies. All with trinocular tube for photography or video.

DIAVERT / EPIVERT

The LEITZ DIAVERT (tissue culture) and EPIVERT (metallurgy) was introduced in the 1970's. The world's first modular inverted microscope designed for ergonomics and expandability. Several phase contrast models of the DIAVERT are available with photo tubes. EPIVERT is offered with brightfield infinity corrected objectives or brightfield/darkfield objectives. Typical lighting is 50W halogen but fiber optic lighting is offered as an option.

Diavert/Epivert

ORTHOLUX ONE

The world's first true research stand first introduced by Leitz in the mid-1930's. A timeless design that offers the serious microscopist a first-class research tool for the same price you would pay for today's laboratory microscopes. No plastic or cheap metal in these beauties...basic black finish with photo / video tube. Biological options...brightfield, Zernike or Heine phast contrast kits. Transmitted light oil darkfield for Enderlein live blood studies. Industrial options...RARE incident light PHASE CONTRAST!

Ortholux One

 

ORTHOLUX II

Replacement for Ortholux I in the late 1960's and upright companion to Diavert. Several Ortholux II instruments are available from Bunton including one with the original Ploem illuminator and one with Ploem 2.2 to accept modern filter cubes. These fine instruments are carefully restored with focus overhaul and proper lubrication, stage adjustment and tube alignment. All used research instruments are collimated using factory tools and alignment device.

Ortholux II

 

ORTHOPLAN / METALLOPLAN

The world’s first WIDEFIELD research stand was the Orthoplan (ca. 1965). This microscope was the Leitz flagship model for more than twenty years. We have a good selection of NEW STANDS with reconditioned tubes, stages, condensers and nosepieces. All will include a trinocular photo / video tube. Certain models equipped for epifluorescence after Ploem, phase contrast after Zernike and excellent plan apochromat / fluorite sets for pathology and photomicroscopy.

Complete Metalloplan (new stand) with DIC (incident light) with 5x, 10x and 20x (P) objectives, mechanical stage, FSA-GW tube and lamp. DETAILS AND PHOTO UPON REQUEST - $13,500.00

LEITZ Metalloplan with LINNIK interferometry unit that includes 10x and 20x infinity corrected paired optic sets. This is a very scarce device and will only be sold with a complete microscope stand. LINNIK is quickly removed (one piece with stage) and the Metalloplan may then be set up for normal incident or transmitted light studies. Special Price...subject to prior sale.
