My Leitz SM microscope has the low voltage condenser (#051 475), but was missing the lamp holder and transformer. This lamp holder fits standard E10 low voltage bulbs powered from a DC power jack (RND 205-00905) and incorporates a rheostat dimmer (⌀30xH15mm). A M3 screw is used as the bulbs center connector, while the outer connection is done with by stripping a wire and feeding it by the bulb mount. The halves are held together with two M3x30mm screws & nuts, and the optional brass spacer is only for aesthetics. This model is made to be 3D printed with a resin (SLA) printer for finer details and higher temperature stability.
The LED head torch mount is made for the dimmable D10/D20 headlamps from Aliexpress, that use a 18650 Li-ion battery and incorporates a USB-C charger. Consider adding a ground glass diffuser for a more even illumination. This mount should be printed in a slightly flexible plastic light ABS or PET-G filament and with good layer adhesion.
The mirror mount is for using a standard flip double sides mirror, with or without a build-in LED light.
