Description
Bausch & Lomb Microscope Lamp Illuminator Focusing Mount 25mm OD No Bulb GE 1460X
This is a Bausch & Lomb microscope lamp illuminator assembly with an adjustable focusing mount. The unit houses the lamp and directs the light output through a tapered cone toward the microscope stage or specimen area. It accepts a GE 1460X or GE 1400 series bulb (not included) and connects to the microscope's power supply via an attached 2-pin cable. The focusing mount allows the assembly to be positioned and locked at the correct angle for the illumination setup.

Applications
Bausch & Lomb produced a wide range of laboratory and research-grade microscopes from the mid-twentieth century onward, and external lamp illuminator assemblies like this one are standard accessories for their older stereo and compound microscope lines. This type of illuminator mounts alongside or beneath the microscope stage and provides directed transmitted or oblique illumination for specimen examination. The focusing mount lets the user aim and lock the light source precisely, which is important for techniques like darkfield or oblique illumination. These assemblies are still actively sought by labs and collectors maintaining vintage Bausch & Lomb microscopes, and the GE 1460X / 1400 series bulb format was common across many mid-century American scientific instrument manufacturers. Replacement of the bulb is all that is needed to return this illuminator to service.
This Bausch & Lomb Microscope Lamp Illuminator with Focusing Mount is in good used condition. The body, clamp collar, and cone are intact with normal wear on the metal surfaces — the clamp collar shows some paint wear and minor surface oxidation as visible in the photos. The internal lens is present (visible as a green-coated element in the close-up photos), the spring mechanism appears complete, and the attached 2-pin power cable is in good shape. No bulb is included. Please review our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
