Hi Folks;

We discovered that the 0.9 NA swing-in lens on the condenser assembly on our
Zeiss Axio Imager M1 upright microscope has cracked/delaminated. The
microscope is part of our Excite/Pascal confocal platform. Anyone out there with
a lead on a replacement swing in lens? Although we can get one from Zeiss,
they require that the whole condenser assembly be returned to Germany --
which is over kill for us, considering the transmitted light path is only used to
quickly queue up specimens.

(Zeiss part # for the whole condenser assembly: 424200)

Any leads would be appreciated.
