ADAPTERS for Nikon Microscope nosepiece
Looking for some adapters to mount my reversed 28mm Componon on my Nikon MM-11 nosepiece. I have the RafCamera M26x0.7 female to RMS male thread adapter (see attached image) so I don't need that so I am looking for the rest of the adapters. I figured someone here might have these somewhere collecting dust instead of me purchasing them on eBay.
From the microscope nosepiece is goes as follow:
1) (RMS hole in Nikon nosepiece)
2) RMS to Mitutoyo 26mm adapter
3) 26mm-30mm (step up adapter,
4) 30mm-49mm(step up adapter)
5) 49/49 reversing ring, "macro coupling ring" (male 49mm thread both sides)
Thanks,

It's not for sale (thought I'd say early)
but I have a dovetail ring, on a fattie 1x objective (which is too big for the turret so has to go "straight in").
I could get an adapter - dovetailed outer disc with an M42 female thread, made. It would be a useful thing for the MM lenses, too.
(I think it's large enough for M42, I'd better measure it!)).
Plain Alumin(i)um shouldn't cost much, especially if a few were made on a run.
It wouldn't be before Christmas!
Anyone interested?

I"m still not up to snuff on all the terminology here but is this what you're talking about?

I mentioned the possibility here:
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 242#200242
and I thought someone said they'd tried a Rafcamera adapter and it didn't fit.
I don't know the size and mine's the other side of the room (meaning it would take a week to reach it...)
But if it measured right, I'd ask him - I guess he knows what hs parts fit
A female M42 thread would be more convenient
52mm female (if it would fit inside the arm), would be even better).

I found a spare turret I forgot I had. (That's handy, it has 4 Mplans on it).
I saw your post and remeasured, 43.96mm diameter, best I can measure.
The 4mm and 1mm are a bit of an eyeball-estimate holding near the step at the end of a vernier caliper. That would make it 54º. Could be 55 though - only 0.2mm different.

I didn't purchase one of those, I was simply asking if that is what you were talking about since I'm struggling with all the nomenclature which is new to me. Suppose I should of been clearer. The 'dovetail' on the 'bottom' of my Nikon MM-11, where the dovetail on my Nikon nosepiece attaches measures 43.96mm, so no that wouldn't fit. The 'top' dovetail where I mounted my 50D measures approximately 48.5mm.

Rafael (RafCamera) contacted me via email about the adapter in question for my Nikon MM-11 and said this;
http://www.rafcamera.com/en/microscope- ... m-to-m42x1BTW, I remember that I have 44mm dovetail adapters They are made with negative tolerances (actual DT diameter is 43.90-43.95mm)
Should fit you miscroscope, I think.
