What applies to the Leitz Dialux II also applies to the Leitz Ortholux II. This is actually the bigger 'brother' of the Dialux II. The Ortholux II is the successor to the black Ortholux I and also has a mechanical tube length of 170 mm. With a slightly larger base and wider stand than the Dialux II, stability is guaranteed with this microscope. In terms of mechanical quality, the Ortholux II can only be surpassed by the Leitz Orthoplan. The Ortholux II leaves everything made today far behind.
