20x ELWD for Nikon E200 for reflected light?

Post by RCAguy »

I’m looking for a CFi60 20x infinity/0 for my Eclipse E200, ELWD for reflected light of 3D objects using stack focus. Would Nikon’s MUE20201 work, at left in image? Any alternative suggestion is welcome. Less expensive would be better, or used in working order.

Hi RCAguy,
What about ebay ?
e.g.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-Microsco ... SwSz1an5e5

I have been using it with the LSA as a tube-lens for some weeks:

Thanks for the info. Does this objective, and the LU that I referred to above, work on an E200? Is there a less costly alternative?

Hi RCA,
The LU Plans have a mount with 25mm 0.75

Thanks adalbert. I’m watching eBay, but I am concerned about compatibility. I already bought one wrong onjective; fortunately the seller graciously took it back. Once burned, twice shy. Spec-wise the Nikon Eclipse E200 is a CFi60 (infinity tube, 60mm parfocal, with M25x0.75mm thread. I’d like to find a CF Plan (ideally APO) ELWD with good reflected-light imaging. The LU mentioned in my first post is the only documentation I’ve found from Nikon that seems to fit these specs (two inquiries to Nikon have gone unanswered.) Not wanting to go down another blind alley, I’m reaching out to the experts here. Which economical objectives will work? Thanks.

Nikon CF Plan 20x0.35 inf/0 EPI SLWD for an E200?

Post by RCAguy »

Ebay lists a "Nikon CF Plan 20x0.35 inf/0 EPI SLWD Microscope Objective Lens WD 20.5" infinity\0 with SLWD. Altho only a 0.35, It looks like its length (by eye) plus WD of 20.5 might add up to a parfocal of 60mm, but I would like an opinion of it working on my Nikon E200?

It's been 3 years so that is not surprising.
I imagine you've gotten this info long since, but for future readers the LU plan would be compatible but infinity CF plans are optically compatible but have a 45mm parfocal distance and either RMS or m27 thread (on the BD version). They do make adapters for them though, or you can but a third party adapter or 3d print one.
I don't know if Nikon makes a 20x lwd apo, but the LUs aren't bad. I imagine the TUs are better but I haven't done any head to head comparisons.

The TU plan ELWD 20x is much better at CA correction than it's LU counterpart probably due to it's use of a phase fresnel element. I'd recommend getting a TU if it's not price prohibitive. FYI, though both will work on a E200, the E200 head is only rated for a field number of 22mm.

Cheers,
John
