jean pierre,

I am not personally familiar with that particular focus block. Looks expensive.
Meiji makes nice stuff. One thing I would be sure to check is the fine focus travel. I have a Meiji ML2000 microscope and on that piece the fine focus, (although it is coaxial with the coarse focus) only provides a travel of a couple millimeters or so, and then you need to "back it off". Don't know if that's the case with this block or not.
