Normally I use the Zeiss base, it is simply more convenient to observe. Unfortunately it does not move in as fine an increment as the Olympus and Nikon fine focus blocks I normally use. It is OK for the 4X, 5X, 10X and 20X, but really too coarse for the 50/0.50 (although with good strong reading glasses and patience I can get by with the 50X. ) If I ever decide to "motorize" the focus stepping I will probably use the upper Nikon fine focus mechanism.Just one question, do you use the fine focus of the Nikon or of the Zeiss base for stacking?

Just to have it in the same thread as the genesis of the MM-11 project, I thought I would add this link from last year that shows how I "automated" this stand for stacking.
