Overview

A vintage microscope substage condenser mount with a centering ring and a dovetail base. A silver-tone metal ring sits in a black painted bracket, with three knurled thumbscrews set around it to center the condenser. The base has a dovetail slide that fits a substage rack, held with two screws on the underside. The ring has small pin holes on its face, and a small pin sits inside the bore. It suits someone restoring a vintage microscope or building an optical setup, or a collector of scientific instruments.

Background

A substage condenser mount holds the condenser below the microscope stage, and centering screws like these let the user line the condenser up with the objective. This mount has no visible maker name or model number. It has not been tested on a microscope, so please check fit and dovetail size against your instrument before buying.

Condition

Used vintage condition. The three thumbscrews look to turn freely. The ring face has light speckled spots and toning, and the black base has scuffs and paint wear on its edges and corners. Please see all photos.

Dimensions & Weight

The mount measures about 3.5 x 3.2 x 1 inches (H x W x D) and weighs about 5.5 oz.
