I am trying to be able to use epi lighting, which is new to me. Can anyone help me determine which Olympus microscopes are compatible with this "universal" Oly epi-illuminator which I just bought on eBay?

One site says it goes with the BH2-KMA, but it is not clear whether other BH2 models will also work. Can it attach to non-BH2 models? Thanks very much in advance.
Of course, I should have asked this before I bought it....
Which Oly scopes can be used with this epi illuminator?

It looks like a hybrid, part of a BH2-RLA Brightfield/Darkfield Vertical Illuminator plus part of a BH2-MA Brightfield Vertical Illuminator.
Details are in this brochure:

It will fit the BHS and BHT BH-2 stands.
It will fit the BHA, BHB and BHC stands.
If there is nothing extending below the lower mount, it is probably possible to fit it to a BHTU BH-2 stand or to any of the CH and CH-2 stands.
The BH2-RLA is designed for both RMS brightfield objectives and 26mm brightfield/darkfield objectives. You cannot use 26mm objectives on the BHTU, BHB and BHC stands, or on the CH or CH-2 stands, because they have fixed RMS nosepieces.
The BH2-MA is designed for RMS brightfield objectives.
