RL and all,
Post by leggI also note that in the zeiss opmi_1 manual, a 12V 100W halogen lamp
is specified - and a self-resetting thermal limiter is built into
the lamp holder.
You have an original paper manual?
OPMI 1 is a family of microscopes rather than a specific model;
correct?
A search in eBay, for example, finds many variants. Appears that
components were assembled according to requirements of a customer.

EFR, ELS and ILO are bulb manufacturers?
After my original enquiry, also found a page for a replacement LED
illuminator. 700+ $US. Beyond my budget at present.
Also found some old bulbs in boxes labeled 390153. They have the
unusual (Zeiss?) triangular base and the filament is parallel to the
bulb axis. The 39015 has the filament crosswise to the bulb axis.
Also found an inexpensive motor controller which adjusts light
intensity nicely. The adjustable power brick can be set to deliver 6
V. The controller connected beyond that adjusts intensity.
In case a 90-1202 Zeiss 12V as listed above turns up, my power supply
should suffice for that also.
Thanks to all for the replies, ... P.
