The mirror house allows changing between three different light sources for different purposes with only one switch and without any great manipulation on the microscope stand and the working place.Įxcuse my sad english, please. In case of working with the Orthoplan, it can be connected at an upper position for incident light or at the lower position for translucent light. Itself has to be attached to the microscope stand. This lamp house can be connected to the mirror house on the right side. It also needs a special power supply for every light source, of course. It includes a small box with four exchangeable light filters which are switchable in and out. The black knobs outside allow to adjust the lamp in all three directions, because you must not open the lamp house while the lamp is burning or hot. The big lamp house on the left behind is a special lamp house for high performance light sources like the 250W Mercury highpressure short arc lamp or 150W Xenon short arc lamp etc.

The white light on the front side is burning during exposition time and the red light shows you the transport of film.

The camera includes a photo optic with a 3,2x magnification. And you need the power supply and light meter, which has to be connected with the black cable, if you want to work with it. Under the upper door of the camera should be special, exchangeable film container, so one can change between different kinds of 35mm film without loosing frames. What you see sharp in your eyepieces (one should be attached with a photo frame) you should get automatically sharp on your film. So you do not need a separate eyepiece for adjusting the sharpness before shooting like you need, for example, by working with the MIKAS. In opposite to former trinocular tubes this one compensates the difference of tube length, depending by adjusting the different distances of the eyepieces. The Orthomat in front is a (very good if complete) microscope camera, which belongs to the FSA-trinocular Tube, first developed in the 1960s for the Ortholux and Orthoplan microscope stand.

If anyone is interested to see them I can post some photos- and they may be relevant to understanding the Orthomat and friends. It also came with a great deal of odd high end carl zeiss microscope (photography) parts that were possibly from the same set up. I guess there are Leitz microscope collectors and aficionados- maybe some on this forum?

Does anyone know if it has any value or use today to anyone? know that this is not the place for quotes- I am just curious.

This stuff is definitely not up my alley as a collectors (a touch too technical and obscure) so I will be looking to pass it on to someone with an interest- if anyone here is interested I could advertise it for sale on the forum. If anyone can tell me anything about the gear- or direct me to info about it- I would greatly appreciate it. the third rectangular device has no name or number on it- it seems to be another part of the Lampenhas- or an accesory- a kind of beam splitter and director. The Lampenhaus (Light House?) seems clear enough- I love the levers that are used to control various colored filters inside. I am assuming they are all related to microscope photography? The Orthomat is actually a camera- with a lovely little 35mm film holder inside. Today I ended bringing a wheelbarrow load of Zeiss Microscope equipment home- amongst many obscure, redundant, and once very expensive items I found these Leitz pieces. I can't help buying anything that has the Leitz name on it.
