The Seller has now added a few new pictures in the ad.

The new pictures confirms for me that the JML 23mm is an eyepiece intended for a 23mm microscope tube.

Maybe it's an eyepiece to a 23mm microscope tube?

I'm not sure but it almost looks like that in the picture.

When I looked at mr Chris Hejnars website I saw that he has developed and now sells a new product named Micrometer adjusting micro rail (325USD). It's a micrometer driven rail and it can be used for focus steps. It's not cheap but it's a new product that I not seen before. http://www.hejnarphotostor...

I would so love equivalents to this for all the insect orders! I have found a bookstore in the UK with a wide selection of insect books. http://www.pemberleybooks.co.uk/ One book of interest for me is, The European Families of the Diptera- Identification, Diagnosis, Biology written by Pjotr Oosterb...

Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge, I think the 650D if my 500 breaks down or 5DMKll if i get some Mitutoyo glass for xmas I think one DSLR of interest in this matter also would be an used Canon EOS 50D with few exposures. If the luck would be with you and you have the patient I suppose you...

But I don't know how long should the bellow to be. Does anyone know the optimum tubelength? I have seen some wonderful pictures, using 50-60mm distance. Not a standard tubelength. Magnification varies between 3x - 7X, fitting nicely in the range of objects already aquired and their usable magnifica...

Cheers guys, i'm due an upgrade and would like a camera that will give me the best image with the best glass, I'm not really thinking of 1:1 macro but more 10x to 50x. Mitutoyo will be my optic of choice unless there is an as good an objective range out there with a different badge. The mkll i thin...

Thanks...now it is a matter of finding these adapters...seems like all I can find are adapters for Olympus 4/3 Olympus OM to M42 http://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-kood-olympus-om-to-m42-body-adapter.htm And adapters from M42 to RMS could be found at Ebay to a good price. You can also go OM to T2 th...

I would like to mount a microscope lens on an Olympus OM bellows. Does anyone know where I get an adapter to do that? I would prefer a flat adapter rather than a conical version, if possible. Thanks!

Nice work. Thanks Conny for this comparison.They are both excellent. I think the contrast and definition ( at this size and resolution) with the Mitu is better.

Nikon is describing their considerations in choosing a standard tube length to design a system around. To get a 10X objective, we have a lot of possibilities: 10 mm on a 100 mm tube lens, 15 mm on a 150 mm tube lens, 20 mm on a 200 mm tube lens, and so on. Which of those tube lengths will make it e...

I think you can go +- 50mm from the reference focal lenght with good results. At the same time it confuse me that Rik got so good results with the Nikon CFI 10X on a 100mm lens. Confused by what aspect? --Rik I don't remember my setup, but once i did a test with a 100mm lens as converging lens @10X...
