Hi Taxacomers,

Does anyone know where I might borrow or purchase 
the POL (polarizing) system for a Leitz TS Widefield 
Stereo Microscope?

These microscopes were made about 1968-73 or so,
then no more.

Does anyone have a Leitz TS Widefield Stereo manual 
of about 1970-75?  These manuals have the 
instructructions for using the POL system.

My purpose is to analyze they posterior median eyes 
of many spider family reps as I can.  This has to do 
with spider ballooning, and trigger mechanisms that 
cause spiders to come back down to Earth.

Robin
