Back after a long absence. I recently became the owner of a olympus bx41 with a phase contrast condenser. I'm currently restoring it. Some parts were missing like the lamp house. Please pardon my terminology if I'm incorrect but I'm trying to replace the lense in the illuminator as it is scratched. ...

Wow. Sorry for the necro. Only stumbles back after almost 2 years absences. I had originally purchased a swift sw380t and am back now looking for help with new micscope that was added to my collection.

Hi all,

I'm very new to the world of microscopy. I purchased my first microscope this week. Currently knuckling down to learn the lingo and basics as well as browsing the forum for much-needed beginner info. Looking forward to becoming a part of the community. Happy hunting.
