Yes, the Meiji RZ ergotube looks like a Wild clone, but to my eyes the rest of the microscope looks much more like an Olympus SZH.
I have no experience with the Meiji RZ. The Leica/Wild M10 zoom body is all metal parts inside and very robust.

I have been struggling with osteoarthritis in the neck for nearly 10 years now resulting in stereo microscopy (entomology) being a real pain. For me it has been a significant improvement to get variable ErgoTubes on my stereo microscopes, making it possible to keep my neck in a relaxed and very upri...

Thanks. I am looking forward to reading about your experiences with the super-widefield eyepieces on the M3Z.Rorschach wrote:I'll report when I actually get the eyepieces in a few weeks. They are being shipped currently.

Re: Super-widefield 15x or 16x eyepieces for Wild?
I managed to snatch a pair of Olympus SWH10X-H26 super-widefield eyepieces at a reasonable price for my Wild M3Z, as I know they are the best possible 10x eyepieces. Can you use the Olympus fn 26.5 eyepieces with the Wild M3Z without getting any vignetting at all? If yes, which head are you using o...

Re: Case study: "Portable" stacking set-up.
I took the focus post from a stereo microscope stand and made a base of maple. (I had two bases I could have used but one was too short, and the other, cast iron, was far too heavy). Three 5mm machine screws attached it to the wooden base. To the vertical post I attached an Arca-Swiss clamp. Charle...
