Testing new addition to the old setup (thanks Charles for the inspiration and idea !)
Very first rough test photo, just to see will this idea work at all , using Mitutoyo 5x and Reichert trinocular head ( tube lens - original Reichert), 117 photos, Chromo Inc LED CI-160 panel. Had to crop little bit right side of the photo (vignetting, missed somewhere in adjustments ). For future - have to bring closer objective to the tube lens, too big distance for the tube lens diameter.

Do Reichert heads fit Nikon scopes dovetails?
Where IS the tube lens exactly - is that your Sigma?
Reversed or not?
Is the 3D printer yours? 
Oh - nice gritty picture..

Yes and no - OD is the same but I had to do some "ugly" work to make it fit

No, it is original Reichert head tube lens. Reichert Microstar is infinity corrected microscope, so I decided to take a risk and bought this head ...

No, not mine, but my work colleague is 3D printing maniac, like me in macro . Very useful equipment . Let's put it as a very distant goal ...
Last photo just for the reference, no idea what grit that paper was

Hi Saul,
That 3D-printed adapter looks very interesting. Can you show/tell us a bit more?
Regards, Ichty |

Is RED the new black?
What does one have to do to see the 3D views?

Yes , red was in the the 3D printer ... Had to put "black crushed doodlebug" paper inside

Can you see this in your browser ?
If yes, you can rotate, zoom in/out and other things If not - most probably you have to try another browser...

Hi Saul,
Very interesting; thanks for the illustrations. So you printed an M52 thread into the plastic for the metall filter ring? Did you also glue it in?
Kind regards, Ichty |

Hi Ichty,
It is too fine thread to print with my colleagues printer. For the top part I pressed on 42-52 adapter, no glue. For the bottom red part I pressed in 52mm UV filter ring without glass in order to have normal thread because I have RMS Nikon 50x 0.55 and have to jump between Mitu's & Nikon, no glue also, both sits very well . On the final version (after final adjustments) I'm going to apply few drops of the superglue around edges after pressing in.
Are you going to destroy your Microstar ?
BR,
Saul

Assembled and ready for the first test. One thing left - to replace green adapter with shortened original with 42x0.75 thread
