Dear colleagues

I´m searching for a Leica power supply to run an ancient fluorescent
microscope:

*Power supply 12V 100W, *Lamp power, stabilized, AC-input range: 90-250V
AC / 50...60Hz , DC output voltage: Adjustable from 2.5V up to 12V,
ambient temperature range: +5-60°C, protected for short out and open
output connector

If you have such a power supply and you don´t need it anymore, I´d
appreciate your reply.


Sincerely yours,

Philipp Tripal

Hi Phillipp

If unsuccessful you could try an LED transmitted source..

You may be looking for used/donated but in case you're not, I bought a new
power supply exactly as you describe direct from Leica not that long ago,
so it should still be available from Leica. I think it cost me US$600-700.

Hi Philipp,
maybe some regulated laboratory power supply would be cheaper than "Leica
solution".

Try to google (ebay, amazon) for 'STP3010' to get an idea (cheap Chinese
product).

Check the input line voltage, and check that you can regulate current and
voltage independently from zero up to your required values (12V, 8.3A in
your case). That should be OK for driving an incandescent lamp...

Best, zdenek

If I understand correctly this is for the transmitted light/brightfield  incandescent lamp.

A cheap regulated lab power supply with the right output range (0-12V) works fine.
I have several Leica Ortholux I scopes (the black ones from 1960's) where I replaced the original Leica plug with two "banana" plugs (is that a right term?) that go into a 0-12V lab power supply.

Another option is to look for car/RV light dimmers, but you would probably have to feed it with 12 V DC.

Similarly, a cheap (~$3 off Ebay)  dimmable 0-12V, 8A dimmer switch should work if you can supply a DC power to it, e.g., from an old  laptop computer power adapter.
