You can't count on it, though you may find some are OK for home / hobby use. I just tried threading 3 C mount plastic plugs, from 2 different makers, into 3 female M25x0.75 adapters. Of all the combinations; 2 of the plastic plugs would screw into one of the 3 female adapters about 1/2 to 3/4 turn. ...

You wouldn't see the polarizing effect in the eyepieces and that, to me, makes it an odd place for a polarizer.ChrisR wrote:B would be for a polariser (analyser), surely, but it looks like it may be off something else!
mbb, does anything within the barrel move up and down when the lever is rotated?

Re: Optiphot: Can't attach lamphouse to epi illuminator
. . . Model names I've seen include Optiphot, Optiphot 2, Optiphot 66, Optiphot 100S, 150, 200, 300, Optiphot Biological, and Optiphot Pol. You can eliminate most of these by stage size or shape. For instance the Optiphot 66 has a stage with 6" x 6" of xy travel and the Optiphot 200 has 200 x 200mm...

If I understand the manual correctly the M42x0.75 lens mount is a separate piece, and can be replaced by f.i. a C mount. Perhaps this user replaceable mount system is the reason for the back focus imprecision (listed as either 17-17.5mm or "about 18mm"). In the side view of the flange the only mean...

Re: Copper Nickel Gold balls
The reason for my post is that I found in a box a small vial marked Copper Nickel Gold, with about 1/4" deep of very small metal balls. They are clearly gold, but must be Cu/Ni alloy based on the sticker. Does anyone know what these might be used for? I think they are ~10um in diameter but that's o...

Re: Puzzling out eBay ad for Olympus laser + halogen microsc
. . . The equipment shown in the pictures consists of an LG-PS2 laser with a thinner light guide, apparently ending in a connector for an AX/BX series illuminator port, and a FV5-TD halogen illuminator with a thicker double light guide, the ends of which are not visible in any picture. You have the...

. . . Sure would like to have a nosepiece turret adapter thing if you have one laying round. I'd like to know what it's called too if you know. -JW: I believe the full model name for your base is MM-11U and the adapter is called an "optical head bracket". I think it's more likely that Nikon was the...

Here's an interesting note in Design News from Lin Engineering somewhat confirming the more physical cogs (motor step "teeth") the better where accuracy is concerned. I found this while looking for info on driving 5 phase stepper motors, since all my stepper drivers are 2 phase. Surprisingly, the t...

There is no light guide inside the tube. The tube is completely blocked by the ceramic ? substance. Here's a photo of a water dipping Zeiss objective with similar appearance. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/1973_ZEISSWATERDIPPER_1.jpg and here's another view of the Leica objective (I c...
