Thanks, Eddie.

The MXA20495 that makes this thing work is available on "that auction site" for $11, if anybody is interested. I picked up three of them.

This project I recently completed may be of some interest to BH2 owners, if you're willing to use a Nikon condenser. Carl Carl, your link doesn't seem to work. CE Sorry about that, CE - I posted a (hopefully) fixed link in the Illumination Techniques section, since that's a more appropriate place f...

I am posting this here, since it is a bit off topic where I originally posted it. And, as it turns out, the link I used did not work anyway.

Swank!

Gekko- This is good to hear, and please do post photos of the finished assembly. As it turns out, I bought one of these adapters when they were offered, hoping to do something similar one day. The BH2 uses the same condenser mounting, and can even use the Nikon condensers. FYI - that adapter seems t...

Gekko-

What type of microscope/condenser did you use? I have a similar problem with my Olympus BH2, so I'm curious how you did this.
