Hello all from Spain:
I have recently purchased a Leica Wild M10 with an planapo 1.6x objective. Since the working distance is very short, about 19 mm, I have problems to manipulate the samples. I know that it is possible to detach the ring at the end of the objective in order to have easier access to the sample. I have not seen any screw in that ring, only 2 lateral holes. Does any one knows how to detach that ring marked with arrow in the pictures ?
Another 2 questions: 1) can a trinocular head from a Wild M8 be used on the Leica Wild M10. 2) Can a coaxial illuminator from a Wild M8 be used in the Leica Wild M10 ?
Thanks,
José María

Hi,
I do not know how to deattach the ring on the objective but most likely it is just screwed on the lens.
Answers to the two other questions: yes and yes.
By the way, the objective glass seems very dirty. You should absolutely clean it but very carefully.
