Looking for Wild Heerbrugg/Leica Photo Eyepiece Adapter 445932

#1 Post by MountainJM » Sun Feb 24, 2019 1:40 pm

Hello,

I recently purchased a Wild M3B with foto adapter assembly but the seller shipped the microscope without the main objective or the camera adapter lens.
It was sold as a functional microscope, but obviously with these parts missing it's not much more than a beautiful paperweight. Feeling cheated by this seller, but I can't do anything about that now.

I'm trying to find the necessary parts to make this microscope work. I found the 16x photo lens (445305) but it doesn't fit in the lens adapter (304490).

So here's what I have:

404891 for the microscope connection
304490 lens holder
xxxxxx original photo lens is missing
404207 Phototube
162226 SLR adapter with
370759 0,32x lens

The 16x PHOT lens (445305) I have will work with all the parts except the lens holder (304490).
If I did my homework right I need Leica part# 445932 or equivalent Wild Heerbrugg part.

Is this correct and does anyone know where I could find the correct adapter?

Regards,

Johannes

If you bought it on eBay you definitely will get your money back, just report it as 'not as described'. Did you?

Yes, i did, but the case was dismissed by ebay, I'm just trying to get the missing parts now, so i can start using my SLR on my microscope.

I'm in the exact same boat! I have a Wild M7S with the phototube HV but no other parts. Any information on the topic would be warmly welcomed here too. I have found many Wild relay/projection eyepieces but they have magnifications ranging from 6x to 15x. It is unclear to me which of these would work with my (and yours I assume) setup.

I will be monitoring this thread :)
