Very reasonably priced. Hope it finds a good home.

Just a heads up: Had a look at the Ebay listing, you do not mention eyepieces. Neither for nor against.

Also - all your objectives (sold separately) have a blue cast to them. Are these the famous and therefore expensive 'blue' objectives or are they just in need colour correction? ;)


By the way. Nice to see the objectives photographed correctly, lens up!

I wince every time I see an objective resting on its lens.

Hi 75! (they're standing upon a blue plastic sheet - I should've used a white one... )
I'm selling the Orthoplan including it's original Periplan 10x - diopter-adjustable eyepieces....

Yes, I've these two Achromats 'spare' from the Olympus, I found a nice set of 4 UIS2 objectives for a very reasonable price, although they're the supposedly PlanC N for the CX series rather than the Plan N series for the BX.
The performance is superb, with very good crisp resolution.

The Olympus has a phase-contrast condenser with nice 10x and 40x phase achromat UIS1 phase objectives - I left the 40x phase on the turret as it's so nice to use.
I'm really pretty impressed with the BX40's phase, even with the achromats, likewise the UIS2 Plans....
I really must put up a few images of the new BX40.

Thanks for the mention 75'
