Heine Phase Contrast Condenser (found!!)
Hi, I want one of these to toy with. Seems like a fun thing to have.
It has to be mechanically good and optically adequate. I understand it's a piece of antique so some dust is inevitable, just no cracks, fungus, the sorts.
An oil top lens is a requirement too. I don't need anything else. Listings on *bay comes with objectives and a neat box, but I don't want to deal with having to sell them.
PM me if you have one.
Selling lots of my stuff: https://www.ebay.com/sch/danny7271994/m ... pg=&_from=
If you see something you like, I will give you a discount (more than 10% which are their final value fees). Stuff are marked on *bay, we'll do the transaction outside of that greedy website.
Thank you!

Re: Wanted: Heine Phase Contrast Condenser
Sorry, I missed your WTB by a few weeks, otherwise I would have sold mine to you. Mine went onto eBay and got sold the next day.
Any reason why you really want it in your life I can ask around and see if I can find you another one.
I don't think most people really need it though, if they already have DIC.
It does enhance contrast (e.g., diatom dotting) quite a bit for variable phase contrast, COL and darkfield, however its imagery is quite busy-looking (think donut bokeh) and not as pleasant as DIC.
I sold mine because I am getting DIC in the future.

Re: Wanted: Heine Phase Contrast Condenser
Yep, they sell rather easily, quite a popular item. I found the 2 copies I need (for myself and a friend).
I do have DIC already with a very capable 60x, but DIC isn't the be-all-end-all kind of thing, phase contrast and darkfield are powerful methods, so is COL. Heine does all 3, I especially want it for the immersion darkfield abilities. With the phase contrast condenser, I can only get DF working up to a 20x NA 0.75 objective, or my 40x Iris. I would like it for my 60x as well.
I really like phase contrast effects and POL+COL too. I hope this Heine condenser will replace my u-pcd completely, which is being shipped to Russia anyway.
