For sale is a phase contrast condenser, the BH2-PCD from the finite, 160mm tube era.
This condenser comes with its original wooden box. Due to the cost of freight and customs concerns with the wooden box, it will not be offered unless you absolutely want it. Postage will be $100 more expensive because it is heavy.
The condition is great. Clean optics, new, old stock. I am listing it as used.
This works with the BH2. It can be mounted on the BX and AX microscopes.
Compatibility:
160mm system: Ph1, Ph2, Ph3, DF, BF
Modern BX and AX: Ph2, Ph3, DF, BF
On the modern BX, Ph1 will not work because the ring size is inappropriate.
This condenser is at my place in Sydney, stored in a dry cabinet. I need to travel back to get it and ensure its condition. Please expect a delay. The lead time will be approximately 2 weeks for me to retrieve it, and then pack it up to ship to you.

Shipping:
Read this carefully.
I do ship globally. I will combine postage.
Sometimes, eBay does not combine postage costs. Pay anyway and I will refund the difference, or wait for an invoice. I can also do custom listings for you that include all the items.
AusPost Standard (and express) offered for these regions/countries:
- New Zealand
- China, South Korea, Japan, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan
- Mexico, Canada
- Continental Europe, including Russia
AusPost Standard DPP for this country:
- United States of America under Donald Trump
AusPost standard only. I will not offer any other method. If you want AusPost express, contact me.
DPP means I will pay for Donald Trump's tariffs. The postage cost has been adjusted to reflect this.
This means ultimately, you are paying for the tariffs, not me. The tariffs are usually 15-25%. Postage cost has been adjusted to account for this value. Declaring the item as a gift will not work as the "bonifide gift" option no longer applies to holders of AusPost accounts (Donald Trump thinks we are all business owners).
When he ends the tariffs, I will revert my rates back. Anyone claiming the shipper pays for the tariffs are lying to you.
For countries/regions not listed, I will only offer Auspost Express. If you are from these areas and you are okay with up to 8 weeks postage times with standard, message me. There is nothing I can do to improve local customs.
AusPost Parcel Post to anywhere in Australia.
Usually ships in a day, however, I do get busy at times and go on business trips, so please allow up to 7 days.
Returns and refunds:
Accepted if the item is not as described. Full refund in case it is lost or damaged. High value items will be insured.
Customs:
It is the buyer's duty to contact customs in case of items being held for clearance. I will provide invoice upon request.
An item held for too long will be returned. I will not refund postage in this case.
