Leitz microscopes are microscopes which are made by Ernzt Leitz. Ernzt Leitz produced 50,000 Leitz microscopes and sold it to the United States. It was one of the leading manufacturers of the microscopes by the end of 1900. From the catalog of the company in 1896, it was noted that this company was able to sell more microscopes than any other manufacturers. It implies that Leitz was one of the reliable manufacturers at that time.
Basically, all microscopes are produced with same purpose. It is developed to provide new information about small objects. This instrument is then contributing a great discovery to the blood circulation, molds, plants cells, bacteria, and other useful discoveries. At their times, Leitz microscopes were designed to meet the need of the scientist.
The first microscope of Leitz microscopes is constructed of the base as the stand with a broad curved limb. This enables the microscope to support the stage as well as the body tube of the binocular. It is attached to limb with a rack. Meanwhile, the knurled knob controlled that rack. The tube body was divided into two separated Greenough stereoscopic tubes. Each of the tube contained an eyepiece and an objective. They were to produce the stereo effect. It was believed that this type of Leitz microscopes was to be the greatest compound binocular microscope in 1889.
Nowadays, the models and the types of the microscopes are varied. Also, there are a lot of manufacturer that runs the business in the same industry. The company of Leitz microscopes also developed the design of the equipment of the microscopy in order to accomplish the microscopes.
The models of Leitz microscopes are varied. They are Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Panphot Microscope Base Measure, Leitz Wetzlar Optical Comparison, Leitz Orthoplan Monocular Microscope, Leica Leitz Wetzlar Bellows Camera Microscope, Leitz Ergolux Wetzlar Ernst, Leitz Wetzlar Microscope Light Source, Leitz SM LUX HL Binocular Microscope, Leitz Metalloplan Trinocular Head Microscope, Leitz Wetzlar Microscope Heating, Leitz Orthoplan Monocular Microscope, Leitz Toolmaker’s Microscope that comes with a tilt stage, and other equipments for the laboratory.
DD12NLC 1.2 X C-Mount for Nikon/Leitz Microscopes
This is another option of Leitz microscopes you can consider. It is enabled with adapter which mounts the C-mount cameras to the microscopes. DD12NLC 1.2 x has a low profile adapter. Moreover, it also has good magnification of 1.2x. It is compatible to the cameras which has >1” format CCD sensors such as SPOT Insight 4 MP camera as well as SPOT Flex models.
The latest adapter is supplied with warranty of two years. This type of adapter from Leitz microscopes is designed to have compatibility to some microscopes including Labophot-2, Optiphot-2, Nikon, Eclipse series, Alphaphot-2, Optiphot 100S, 150, 200, 300, MM40/MM60 Leitz Dialux, SMZ1500, SMZ1000, SMZ800, SMZ10A, SMZ-U, Labovert, Diavert, Metalloplan, Mettalux, Fluovert, Aristomet, Aristoplan, Ergolux, Diaplan, Orthoplan, Ortholux, Laborlux, Metallovert Leica MZAPO, MZ12, MZ8, MZ6, MS5, DMIL, GZ6 with 13410302 phototube Wild M420, M10, M8, M7, M5, M3.
As one of the most satisfying instrument, Leitz microscopes are now not widely known. However, this type of microscope is carefully and strongly designed and constructed for providing you the best quality. It is mostly used in academia but rarely in geology laboratory.
