Leitz Condenser

Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have a Leitz Wetzlar condenser that is, I believe, for their Orthoplan and Ortholux microscopes and perhaps others. I will start by saying that I don't know microscopes well (cameras yes, microscopes no)but recently acquired a small assortment of primarily Leitz microscopy items. I'm doing my best quick research to try and identify each item and my best to provide you with an accurate assessment of the condition. Please see my other listings to see the rest. And please correct me if I'm wrong so I can update the listing and provide more accurate info to any potential buyers.

I was able to identify this because its shape and structure are identical to another condenser which I had just researched (and all these items came to me in an Ortholux accessory box). However it doesn't have the swingout rotating bottom section. It does have a pivoting top holder for a lens cell of some type and a diaphragm (with oil on the blades but working fine, turning easily). Condition is first rate.
