Re: Metaphot direct projection with Nikon trinocular Tc
Thanks for the reply. Do you now if this Nikon TC head will fit to E200? TC head has a dove-tail diameter of about 51mm (I may be of tiny bit). I had success in the past mounting cameras and getting great images without the tubes (chimneys). However, I never experimented with Exclipse series.

Re: Metaphot direct projection with Nikon trinocular Tc
Do you know if this Nikon TC head would work with Eclipse (for example E200) series? I noticed that the dove-tail diameter is much larger (like 52mm) than what is needed for Labophot series. Thanks.

What are the uses of 530nm and 147.3nm wave plates
All I know is that 530nm is "Full-Wavelength Retardation" plate and 147.3nm is "Quarter-Wavelength". I would like to know the different applications for each. If I can have only one of these which one would be "better" to own? Thanks in advance for guidance and info on these plates.

Re: What is a good video camera to use with a microscope?
No. The HDMI output while recording can be in 4K. If you do not have a 4K monitor, it will down sample the signal to full HD, and tell you on screen it is doing so. For external (Ninja, etc.) recording you can get 4K with 10 bit 4:2:2 color as well. You can download the regular and extended manuals...

Re: What is a good video camera to use with a microscope?
So do the cameras recommended here stay on, with HDMI live view, plugged in (ac) indefinitely? The Panasonic GH4 stays on for me, with HDMI out to a monitor, recording continuously in 4K (which is about as hard on battery life as you can get), for between 1 hr 10 min and 1 hr 20 min on a 64GB card ...

Re: BH2 BHS MTV
I received the adapter from Dealcorner.com this morning. The image quality I see on my 4K monitor is great and par-focal with the eyepieces as far as my eyes can detect. It is about 10cm long.It does not have any optics in it (as expected). It mounts firmly to the my BH2 trinocular head and my DSLR ...

Re: BH2 BHS MTV
In response to MichaelG'... I don't agree that we have a 'lose-lose' situation here. Removing the lens is great idea. I experimented with the original OM adapter tube modified for Nikon mount. The increased length (about 10mm) did NOT cause any image quality reduction and was still perfectly par-foc...
