If the 580 doesn't work out I have a nice 570 up for grabs.
Al.

Thanks, I'll give him a few days and see if he shows up and if not send him a DM. No worries, no hurries.

Hello All, I've been pottering with an AO fluorescence vertical illuminator. (100 watt halogen and standard 2077 cube). I've acquired a filter cube not listed in the manual. It's the 2075. I've not been able to find any info at all and wondered if anyone has any specs, appropriate dyes etc. Thanks, ...

Just a heads up, i believe that stand has the 1016 50X .80 oil iris objective not the 1014 100X. However the 1016 is a very nice objective especially in darkfield and with 15X eyepieces the 750X mag. means I rarely use the 1014. I have a 20 as well and can certainly attest to the robust build qualit...

Pm'd you,

Al.

Just the filter and plastic housing. The other bits are all there. Can you give me an idea what you would like for this and dropping it in the post to V0R 1X7 Canada? PM me if you prefer.
Cheers, Al.

I'm fixing up a 410, you wouldn't have the blue filter/holder by any chance?
Thanks, Al.

I missed that. The story of my life, a day late and a dollar short. LOL. I seem to use a 20X a lot. With the apparent scarcity of the #1733 I've been thinking I might go for a decent Chinese or India objective if I knew it would be a reasonable match for the AO/Reichert infinity system. Almost all I...

Wasn't directed at anyone in particular, I hope Hans doesn't mind me butting in on his thread. If anyone comes across a 20X it would be much appreciated.

Al.

You wouldn't happen to have a 20X #1733 by any chance?
Thanks, Al.

Golf ball retriever, extends more than you need and common in recycling stores or thrift shops. i paid 2 dollars for mine and wedged an old pill bottle in the end. Works a treat but watch out as some are pretty flimsy.

Looking for an Olympus LWD CDplan 20X. Need the standard brightfield version, not the phase contrast and not the ULWD.
Let me know if you have one tucked away that you would be willing to sell.

Thanks, Al.

Is there any more info available on the 10X and 40X apos'? (cat# etc.) I've not seen them listed anywhere but they sound interesting!
Al.

When you are digging through your A.O stuff if you come across a #1212 20X dark phase objective I'd be very interested!
Cheers, Al.

Still looking for a A.O. 1212 20X phase objective. What I have is the 1223 Planachro 20X longer working distance dark phase in excellent condition. Corrected for 1MM glass (according to mission site) so would be better suited to a Biostar, metallurgical etc? Works fine on a Microstar by flipping the...

Hello All, Wondering if anyone could recommend a brand and source for decent glass 60mm petri dishes for use with an inverted. The cheap glass ones are obviously not meant for this. When held up to the light it is like looking through the bottom of a Coke bottle! I've had some success with the poly-...

Thanks Ross,
Looks interesting, I'll check into it and see if it would be close to parfocal and work with the olympus CK occulars.

Al.

Thanks for the reply,

PM'ed you.

Cheers, Al.

Hello All,
I'm looking for an Olympus LWDCplan 40X 0.55 for an old IMT inverted. Would consider viable alternatives.

Cheers, Al.

Hi Dawson,
I have an old Olympus inverted and would be interested in the phase sliders if you decide to get rid of them.
Cheers, Al.

Thanks you guys, O.K. making some progress. Staying with the 4X and dropping the condenser waaay down has helped. One of the things that had me confused was the 10X. surprisingly I get full darkfield illumination right across the FOV, no vignetting whatsoever that I can detect. No little circle on m...

I've acquired a used #1096 toric darkfield condenser and I'm a bit puzzled comparing it to my other DF condenser. It's my understanding that I should get a central circle of light with a 10X objective as I bring the oiled condenser up to the slide. With this one I get full darkfield across the entir...

Only one item left to find!! (for now, HA HA HA)

Still looking for the
20X cat #1212 dark phase objective,
I just know someone has one of these squirreled away somewhere!

Thanks to all that helped with the other bits.

Cheers, Al.

Well done. I can appreciate the head scratching that went into that not to mention the printing and testing.
Proper job!

Thanks Charles, P.M. Sent.

Still looking for the 20X and 100X dark phase objectives as well as the 1096 darkfield condenser and the 1014 100X oil/iris objective.
Cheers, Al.

Sent you a P.M.

Anyone have some of these tucked away in the cabinet?
A.O. Dark/phase
10X cat#1211
20X #1212
40X #1213
100X #1214

Also looking for,
100x cat# 1014 oil/iris
Darkfield condenser cat#1096

Cheers, Al.

Well She is doing pick-up only so it shouldn't be a scam. Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the continent or I'd be banging on her door.

If you can save the plug on the end it might simplify a new cord.
Sent you a P.M.

Thanks, Al.
