Finally found some time to pimp my Amscope T490B

Stepper motor

Infinity (Reichert tube lens) dovetail/42mm adapter and 42mm/Nikon-Reichert head adapter (this thing could be used on my studio setup also).

Finite/infinite tube assembly

DF and Rheinberg stuff

Sorry for the low quality Rheinberg filters photo - in reality they look better ...

Very cool. I love how the stepper motor is linked to the focus knob. Very well-constructed. How are you controlling the motor?

Very nice. Saul, are those DF filters 3D printed?

Thanks, James, yes it is 3d printed

Do you have favorite(s) among the DF design filters?

Hard to say - just started this field. It depends on the situation.
They work good on the Amscope. But not yet on the my vertical setup - maybe because of the different condenser and other optics
