Re: Nikon SMZ (2?) Collimation problems.

Thanks again, I'll check those. Another question - is it ok for a stereo microscope like this if I always get black fields obstructing the vision whenever I don't look in the center of the field? Is it connected to the eye relief parameter? Any suggestions for good wide angle oculars for a microscop...

Re: Nikon SMZ (2?) Collimation problems.

Thanks for the concern but I don't think it's really that bad/unhealthy. I'm looking at the pics I took and thinking - shouldn't the metals cover the edges of the prisms? - I'm attaching a picture what I mean by it.

Re: Nikon SMZ (2?) Collimation problems.

No idea, i bought it cheaply as "defect" hoping there would only be 2 screws for collimation adjustments (x and y) like my compound microscope and binoculars. Also, the collimation error seems to be on the vertical axis only (relatively to viewing - upside down), so now I need to find just the one s...

Nikon SMZ (2?) Collimation problems.

Hello, unfortunately my first post here will be about fixing collimation on a Stereo microscope which shows a bit of different image. I have successfully aligned the collimation on compound microscope and some binoculars, but with this item I'm having problems. I've disassembled the microscope head ...
