Applications
The AP-60U was designed to power Hitachi Denshi camera attachments used with optical microscopes — a common configuration in research laboratories, quality control environments, and university settings from the late 1970s onward. Microscope camera power supplies of this type provided stable DC power to video or film camera heads mounted directly on microscope trinocular ports, allowing microscopy images to be recorded or displayed on a monitor. The AP-60U dates from 1978, a period when Hitachi Denshi was a prominent supplier of scientific video camera systems in Japan and internationally. These units are still sought today by researchers and institutions maintaining legacy Hitachi Denshi microscope camera setups, as well as collectors of vintage scientific instrumentation.
This Hitachi AP-60U AC Power Adaptor is in good used condition. The unit powers on and the pilot lamp illuminates, though it has not been tested further beyond that. The housing shows light surface wear and scuffing consistent with age and prior use — cosmetically it presents well for a unit manufactured in October 1978. The DC output connector and rocker switch appear intact and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
