Follow up on this, that linked Spannungswandler )) works great, ground, etc... totally happy, because the microscope is all that I ever hopped it would be. ...but that is for another thread.... Thanks again for the help!!!!!!!

If the focus is stiff, and especially if it has noticeable hysteresis, then the grease is thickened and the scope needs service. This folder contains two PDFs that describe how to fix the focus mechanism: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bUoWPdyZ_1TQav7QpnH_SuXsLG0HW34d Carl Awesome! Thanks!!!

Ah it was a second place from 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZquzlvEEZq8 So did you/will you get a new microscope?

Mintakax, amazing videos! This one looks a lot like a Nikon Small World Winner: https://vimeo.com/369062481 ...it is no single celled anything, it is a dinosaur that survived the K-T extinction!!!! ...one question, if it was for the money, clear. But if it was about technology, optics, could you ple...

Thanks friends. Grasshopper is in heaven.... ...so the "Boss" from dealcorner.com is actually a photo tube expert. And those black tubes that are linked from ebay (above), I believe, come from him (even cheaper if you buy direct). So I am looking at this not only as a pure biology/microbehunter tool...

Right i actually read that post. Thank you. I kind of see this as a conservation project in parallel to micro biology... so i would like to have the best as designed solution. Then pvc ))) So my nfk Eyepiece need to go in the photomicro adapter L? Amy other tips for an ideal installation? Is the T A...

So I need this one?

Do I still use my nfk 25x eyepiece?

Interesting, this one looks like it could fit. Is this what Alan meant by F Adapter? Do you think it will fit on the mtv-3 silver end?

Well the examples show the lens adapter (T Adapter) upside down. But you get the idea...

Right so here is my best effort (and the Nikon sales guy's best effort) to find a lens adapter. So I could glue it to the black flange (better) or directly on the silver end of the mtv-3 tube. Sound Ok? And more important general question about the diameter of the mtv-3 terminal end.... 1) why so sm...

Here is my choice, at 50 bucks with delivery, 300w, eith ground conversion it was a no brainer

Thanks again for you support. Great that i got to open my new friend, which is unreal.... ...more on that once i fire it up....

Great, thanks friends!!!

No problem to pick up a Spannungswandler today ))) looks like the only cost about 10 bucks. But i will need to do something custom/sort out the ground.....

Thanks!!! ...there is written:
"For Nikon F camera bodies, it is not possible to make an adapter, but it is possible to remove the OM mount from the Photomicro Adapter L and attach a Nikon F mount."

So no standard lens adapter for MTV-3 to Nikon according to Alan Wood? Did I get that right?

Thanks Scarodactyl. That makes sense. And if I lay the camera, without the big camera lens/zoom, directly on the silver MTV-3 tube, it sits there fine. But does one attache the camera to the silver flange on the MTV-3? Should the physical connection just be improvised (e.g. duct tape)?

Better pic of xformer and noise filter. Interesting that filter say 220v....

Tom

Thar she blows))

I see no 220v... ideas?

Tom

Ok grasshopper is learning. I did read http://www.alanwood.net/photography/olympus/c-mount-video-bh2-microscope.html#adapter And I unscrewed that black flange that is not stock mtv3... so now it looks like this (photo). Still how would the camera go on the silver part? And that little plastic or gla...

Hello friends, How do i connect this camera to this photo tube? Any tips on general solutions, or better to just search for Nikon-olympus specific adapters?

Hi friends, This BH-2 BHS Olympus microscope came ftom the usa. I see in the manual, you can select 100v or 110v. I am no expert, but I think here in Austria the voltage on a regular plug is something like 220v. That would be bad. Amy tips? Just buy a plain vanilla voltage adapter? Thanks Tom Webp.n...

Actually, that was a BH part not a BH-2 part. While it might work, time will tell, I am still in the market to buy a BH2-NA Intermediate Tube Analyser with DIC slider. Thanks
Tom

Amazing Tom thank you!!!!

Another great surprise, totally not expected, all my favorite microbe videos/photos are DIC!!! What tender color....

...Amazing thank you for the dic and greater dig photo/ olympus microscope intro Tom Jones!!!!

Also for this thread, here is a great analysis (thanks Boss from dealcorner.com) of the differences between the BH2-NA (for BH2 microscope) http://www.microbehunter.com/microscopy-forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=16403 versus the AH-NA (BH Microscope) http://www.microbehunter.com/microscopy-foru...

FYI, great tip on a BH-2 BHS using an AH-NA (Intermediate Analyser Tube from a BH microscope) from Alan Wood. I applied to join that FB group.... ************************* You might find someone who knows the answer in the Olympus Microscope Users Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1...

ah had not seen that red text.... and this only about stephanoceros/long version/youtube.... ...so three questions from a newbie/never did dic, microbehunter.... 1) why does it look like a super fancy, super optics, color, semi-dark field setting from the beginning? Is this some kind of color DIC wi...

No problem Tom! I really appreciate the help! ....like a lot of things in life (not all) it appears to be a less-than-ideal situation, but it is not. My plan is to use the BH imtermediate tube analyser with my UDC which will have new prisms. Honestly, i habe neber seen a phase contrast image that i ...

Interesting.... ...that DIC set on ebay was for a BH microscope, not a BH2. Interested to hear your opinion on this. Will they fit? Boss, at dealcorner.com, seems to think that the intermediate tube will fit/work but the condenser will not because it does not have the dovetail fitting. Thoughts? I a...

Fyi got the BH2-NA as part of this purchase

Amazing Videos Tom!!!!! unreal... I have some video, still not processed, of something like a microbe cuttlefish/octopus. Interesting to know if it was this Rotifer Stephanocerus. Truly amazing view into the jungle in the jar..... Congratulation on your honorable mention. I think that these creature...

Wow... grasshopper is learning. Thank you!!! Found the dealcorner price for BH2-NA: $1500.... I will try to tone down the buy sell topic for this subject (optics), but in any case the price point is pertinent. I bought the eBay nic set, thanks again Tom. ...shipping to mom in Chicago then to me in A...

But is it a BH2-NA? The slider has a part number, H31103 T.Y, any way to look that up?
