Nikon SMZ-10 stand diameter?

#1 Post by BombusT » Wed Apr 29, 2020 1:11 am

Hello Everyone, hope you're staying safe at the moment!

I've just bought a Nikon SMZ-10 trinocular body online, without eyepieces or stand. I have some Nikon 30mm 15x eyepieces I want to pair with it, but need to acquire a stand from somewhere. The body is going to take a wee while to get to me and I was hoping to get started looking for one while I wait. Can anyone tell me what diameter the mount on the stand needs to be for this microscope? Thanks in advance.
Mike

Thid one was an early example of the now-standard 76mm diameter. So almost any modern stand will work.
The eyepieces are non-focusing and non-compensating, and 30mm Nikon compound eyepieces also work on it.

Great, thanks Scarodactyl. Glad to hear it is pretty standard
