I would like to replace the binocular head with a trinocular on my Labophot. According to the manual, eyepiece tube type T, F, or UW would fit. I'm guessing UW has larger diameter eyetubes, and my eyepieces won't fit. I could find next to no information on older Nikon microscopes on the web-- only infinity-corrected Eclipse, etc. There is on ebay a "TT" head, but no information on it (I did contact the seller and he sent me a brochure on the Eclipse); I suspect that the head is for infinity optics.
Thank you for any tips.

Re: WTB: Trinocular head for Nikon Labophot and Questions
I don't have specific info about Nikon, but most microscopes use only two eyepiece diameter standards: 23.5mm and 30mm (some stereomicroscopes use 30.5mm). Reducing converters to put 23.5mm in 30mm tubes are usually made by manufactures and aftermarket makers and are not difficult to find.xys wrote: ...I'm guessing UW has larger diameter eyetubes, and my eyepieces won't fit....
