Thanks very much apochronaut. Great info. That explains what I'm seeing on the big auction site.

Hi All - I recently picked up a nice condition Reichert (American Optical) Stereo Star Zoom Model 570 microscope. It came when a set of WF 15x eyepieces (brand unknown). I would like to purchase a set of 10x eyepieces as well. I'm not finding any of the original AO #1145 eyepieces online, so I'm loo...

Thanks for clarifying the pedigree on the scope guys! I'm going to give the 48mm plastic ring a shot and see how that works. Thank you!

Hi All, I recently found a nice deal on a Reichert Stereo Star Zoom .7X to 4.2X stereo microscope. I'd like to add a ringlight to the scope and I see that the lower body is threaded, probably for auxiliary lenses to modify the magnification. I was wondering if any of you might know of a ringlight ad...

Thank you all for your insights!

Thanks for clarifying Michael!

So if I understand correctly, in Amscope's "Simul-Focal" trinocular system there is no way to shunt 100% of the light to the camera port. It will always receive some fraction of the total light. This is the trade-off for the convenience of being able to simultaneously use the eyepieces and the camer...

Important considerations for my choice will be: 1) I need a trinocul...

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone out there has the instructions for installation and use of the Olympus CH2-PCD Phase Contrast / Darkfield Condenser? I just picked one up on the big auction site, and I'd appreciate it if anyone make a copy for me (electronic or hardcopy is fine). Thanks in advance!

Hi guys. Thank you very much for your replies. Very informative. I had a conversation with someone locally who suggested this route: 1) To the camera attach a Focusable Digital Camera Lens with C-mount Thread (2290-781 from Moticam) This adapter has a built-in reducing lens specifically designed for...

I have an Olympus CH2 binocular microscope that I would like to attach a video surveillance camera to for "live view" imaging. The video camera has C-thread once the lens is removed.
