Natural Science Forum / Physics / Optics / July 2008Need: slide finger assembly for Leitz Laborlux D
Does anyone know of a resource for Leitz Laborlux D parts? I have a used microscope that's missing a specimen holder/slide finger assembly. I purchased a "universal" X-Y mechanical stage finger assembly from Ebay and made some adjustments to allow it to clamp onto the stage itself. But the dimensions are wrong and there's not enough clearance to rotate the objectives. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rebecca Ritger > Does anyone know of a resource for Leitz Laborlux D parts? I have a > used microscope that's missing a specimen holder/slide finger > assembly.

I have one spare holder (the one without the spring) of a SM LUX. > Does anyone know of a resource for Leitz Laborlux D parts?

Leitz plant. I've had the Marzhauser catalog, a notably boring tome, it was huge. There were hundreds of stages the Marzhauser brothers did build or could build and hundreds and hundreds of slide holders. I'd try to find a pathologist who used a Lab, he just might have the slide holder and it would be unused, probably. However I've substituted one makers slide holder for another, it may need some very simple machining but it can be done by a skilled microscope repair person. The last one I did wasn't all that expensive, I'd guess mid- two hundred dollars. Contact your local microscope technician. Thanks, Kevin Cunningham SMS |
