Mystery Nikon Magnifier
Mystery Nikon Magnifier
I have a Nikon item which appears to be one of these:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/275027711597
Unfortunately, I have no idea what it is intended to fit
… and strangely, although the lower lens element works as a very nice ‘magnifying glass’ … I haven’t found any setting where the complete device will achieve focus !
An instruction leaflet would be wonderful; but I would settle for identification of what system it belongs to.
Thanks in advance

I have a similar one, Olympus.
The Olympus onecis used as an alignement tool after a repair exercise involving the optical train.

Might also be part of some version of Nikon's 35mm camera apparatus - used to view and achieve accurate focus. Similar, perhaps, to this:

I have one of the Olympus ones (U-FT) I use for aligning BH-2s, but I think their original use was as a focusing aid for the film camera modules.

Fine focus assist to be used with a camera mount apparatus that had its own eyepiece, it mounts onto the eyepiece.

Thanks for the further replies
… I now need to expand upon my original question
What design of eyepiece, on what instrument ?

Re: Mystery Nikon Magnifier
I had a look at mine. My approach would be to get the top lens off and mount it in a screw housing to allow focusing (3D printed), similar to a centring telescope (CT).MichaelG. wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 9:34 amAs originally stated:… from which I would deduce that it is intended to work in conjunction with other optics, rather than just being a loupe.although the lower lens element works as a very nice ‘magnifying glass’ … I haven’t found any setting where the complete device will achieve focus !

Evident made focusable ones (FT-30), I used it as a CT for a while.
