Interesting XYZ Combo
This is an interesting XYZ combo, given our recent discussion regarding translation stages.

This is strange. Type Mitutoyo 319-101 Microstage into Google and you get 2 companies selling this exact same piece:
LabX at $859.50; recycledgoods at $850.91.
Makes me wonder who actually owns the piece (perhaps even a 3rd party).

Charlie,
I found the item while looking for a suitable way to attach the BHMJ focusing block to a similar microstage that I already own. The picture above is from an eBay listing. The brackets and stage support appear to be a good way to link all the pieces together.
My new setup will look and work similar to the one pictured if you can imagine a stage made from a lens board attached to the front of the BHMJ. It will all fit nicely on the baseboard of the PF-4.
I'm waiting for the BHMJ to arrive. The currency exchange rate and various shipping quotes are ridiculous at the moment.
Gene, I'd offer them $200.00 but they want almost $500.00 USD to post it to Australia. The Aussie dollar is significantly under-valued at the moment, so the current exchange-rate dampens such an impulse.
They appear to have additional BHMJ and brackets available. I'm just reading some responses to emails I have received from RecycledGoods. I sent through a few enquiries.

Here are some additional images of the BHMJ and brackets. The item pictured at the link below is sold; but the pictures are useful (just need to turn that stage-holder up the other way).
*The BHMJ can also be post mounted (as demonstrated in the second link below).
