Olympus IMT-2 mystery
I have recently acquired a fairly basic IMT-2 which is causing me some confusion The Halogen lamp-house looks very much like the one for the BH-2 and does not have the very distinctive umbilical cord that seems to feature in all the available IMT-2 literature. It is also very clearly labelled as usi...

Re: Olympus X-Line Objectives
Thanks, Pete … I suspect we will see more reactions in similar vein.
The video was just included in a very friendly, but ultimately not very helpful, response to a question I asked about my recently acquired IMT-2
I will start a new thread on that topic.

Re: Centering & adjusting the Leitz 100Z lamp?
Is your Orthoplan a standard instrument, or a ‘bitza’ ? [ bitza this, and bitza that ] It looks to me like you need to first make some reasonably simple measurements of what your illumination system is actually doing … and then compare with those listed values. Note particularly the reference to IV ...

You should be able to make a replacement disc from a sheet of tracing paper or similar

Re: Motorized Rotating Display Stand
Just one thought … my reading of the Amazon listing is that it turns at 1-2 revolutions per minute !
If I am correct, that is very slow for the purposes you have in mind.

I think there was a special Plan Apo series made for the Olympus IMT-2 and these had a longer working distance.

Just to note that I attempted to report that post when I first saw it … but although the reporting icon opened a form … I don’t think it submitted my report.

Re: Chromatic aberrations filtering
Apochronaut’s comments are wise , and well-expressed. To the best of my knowledge, software fixes can only work by discarding information and/or making guesses. The one relatively safe approach is when pure lateral CA is known to be present, and the channels can then be individually re-sized to over...
