It's a great microscope, you just need to find the parts for it. Also check ebay.co.uk and ebay.at, they have items that aren't listed on ebay.com sometimes and the sellers are willing to ship internationally. What kind of microscopy will you be doing with it? Used for waste water treatment plan.

I'm using the Polarizer Cube with Nomarski module, but it's not an Analyzer. I haven't seen the Analyzer anywhere yet except for the one in this post: https://www.microbehunter.com/microscopy-forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8906&p=76871&hilit=polyvar+analyzer#p76871 I look on Ebay every day for new items...

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/254201359320 Is this the same one ? I don't think this is a dic prism, or perhaps it could be a dic prism but more likely for leica microscope. Do you know if this cube can be used to analyser? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/254201357991?hash=item3b2f94e6a7:g:e74AAOSwDN1UOqie And w...

Congrats on your purchase! Do you have photos of everything you got? I have a Polyvar '1' with both transmitted and reflected light. I have a mix of objectives as well. Some 28mm, some RMS. When using the RMS, I use an RMS-to-28mm adapter which also extends the objective length by 11mm (if I recall...

I can't tell much about the prisms by looking at them. You could use the epi objectives . Your parfocal length will increase by the depth of the adapter. Only the few low power ones marked -/.17 will work for transmitted illumination, the rest for epi only.

Thanks!

Can I use 28mm EPI objectives by using RMS-28mm converter?

If you search for Reichert objectives, the R.M.S. infinity objectives will show up but they are not that common. Most will still be in use. There are usually some planachros around for sale and at sub. 100.00 prices but other colour corrections are a bit rare. Diligence will find them. Search on eb...

Is the 160mm objective fit for Plyvar 2? It sounds like you bought a transmitted illumination ( diascopic ) microscope with an R.M.S. nosepiece but want to use existing episcopic 28mm objectives on it? There are 28mm nosepieces available, usually motorized but they are often in the 400.00 + range. ...
