I prefer a U-URA with manually operated cube revolver (with place for 4 cubes or 8 cubes, either one would be fine). I may also consider a motorized model to convert to manual operation.
Alternatively, I may consider an Olympus BX stand (BX 51, BX 61 etc.) in good condition with an equivalent built-in fluorescence illuminator. The stand must also allow transmitted illumination (which rules out the models with only reflected illumination).
Edit: I now have (or am waiting delivery of) U-URA illuminator, U-LH100HG mercury burner, U-RFL-T power supply, and two ND filters for U-URA. I "probably" also have the U-MWU filter cube and a couple of cubes for VIS excitation, unless they will turn out to be burned through.
Potentially, this leaves only minor accessories missing (analyzer for U-URA for example), and the UV shield to attach to the U-URA.
Wanted: Olympus BX fluorescence illuminator
