Note: DIC prisms and head prisms have some delamination, but still work well. The fluorescence filters have some degradation. Condenser height adjustment is stiff, but working. Power supply has a humming sound, but is working.

Zeiss Axioskop with DIC and Phase Contrast

This listing includes the following:

• Zeiss Axiophot stand w/ DIC Nosepiece. Coarse and fine focus are working. Condenser height adjustment is stiff, but working. Power supply has a humming sound, but is working.
• XY Stage
• Trinocular Head. Missing upper photo port tube. Binocular prisms have some delamination, but provide a decent image. There is a bright spot in the center of the image seen through the photo port. I'm not sure if this is due to the head or the non-Zeiss objectives.
• (2) Leica HC Plan 10x / 20 eyepieces
• Reichert Plan Achro infinity 10x 0.25 objective
• Reichert Plan Achro infinity 40x 0.66 Ph objective Phase Contrast
• Reichert Plan Achro infinity 100x 1.25 Oil objective
• DIC Prism Plan Neofluar 10x 0.30
• DIC Prism Plan Neofluar 20x 0.50
• DIC Prism Plan Neofluar 40x 0.75
• DIC Prism Plan Apo 63x 1.40
• 0.9 Zeiss swing top condenser with Ph1 Ph2 Ph3 Phase annuli, 0.3-0.4 and 0.5-1.4NA DIC Prisms(prisms have some delamination)
• Analyzer slider
• Lower swing out rotating polarizer
• 3FL Fluorescence Filter slider with FITC/GFP(Blue), TRITC(Green) filter sets. Filters have degradation. This scope requires an HBO lamp house and power supply(not included) to be fluorescence capable.

I took several photographs and videos of diatoms through this microscope.  The Ph3 phase annulus can be used for darkfield with the 10x objective.

Price is deeply discounted due to the issues described and not having the original Zeiss objectives. Ideally the head should be replaced and the objectives and eyepieces should be upgraded to Zeiss glass.
