Is there a "best" adapter?
I was planning on attaching a Nikon D600 DSLR camera to my trinocular Nikon Optiphot, but I see there are lot of different adapters and ways to attach a camera. Is there a "best one"? is there any difference between the available options apart from cost and appearence? And what would you recommend I...

issues w/ Nikon trinocular eyepiece tube " F " (trinocular head)
The top viewport on my trinocular head doesn't work. Unlike most heads, this one doesn't have a slider, I looked it up and the manual (https://neurophysics.ucsd.edu/Manuals/Nikon/Nikon%20Biological%20Microscope%20Labophot%20Y-R%20Stand%20Instructions.pdf) says this: When using the trinocular eyepiec...

Connected a 110V microscope to 230V
A transformer arrived (input 220V) (output1: 110V) (output2: 230V) I connected a power extender and connected my microscope to it (Nikon Optiphot) but didn't realize it was the wrong output (230V instead of 110V). It turned on for maybe 1 or 2 seconds and then it turned off. I realized the mistake, ...

PZO MPI-3 polarizer not rotating
On my PZO MPI-3 interference head, the gray wheel to rotate the polarizer seems to be stuck, I also tried to look at my monitor through it and rotate the entire thing and unlike with regular polarizers nothing changes. I don't think that the person who sold it to me disassembled it and took out the ...

KPI2 and MPI3 Compatible chassis
My PZO DIC parts finally arrived (KIP2 and MPI3) As expected, they are incompatible with the Amscope microscope I have, so I guess it's time for a microscope upgrade. The head of the PZO Biolar (the microscope designed to be used with these parts) has a slightly different tube length than most micro...

Polyvar questions
I found this: https://www.olx.ua/d/obyavlenie/mkrosko ... derIndex=3
I know it has a DIC prism over the objectives that can be used for reflected light, but I have no idea about the condenser, does it have dic prism?

Re: Buying a PZO DIC kit.
As far as I understand, the condenser (KPI2) is supposed to have a few DIC prisms, which you rotate depending on the magnification you are usuing.

Re: Buying a PZO DIC kit.
I'm a bit confused, the description says the codenser is a KPI2, but KIP2 is DIC. On the photos it looks like a K3Ph Phase condenser: (https://www.avito.ru/moskva/fototehnika ... ion=621540)

Re: PZO DIC
The polyvar basically says that it's in good condition, comes like in the photo and that everything works, I'll contact the seller later to ask some questions. Also, about the PZO DIC. 21 hours ago this was listed: https://www.avito.ru/moskva/fototehnika/nabor_pzo_dic_mpi5_2739739973?slocation=66229...

Polyvar DIC
Hello, I saw a video of a Polyvar being used for epi-dic, but I was wondering, can it be used for transmitted light DIC? does it have DIC prisms in the condenser or does it just have 1 nomarski prism over the objectives (https://www.olx.ua/d/uk/obyavlenie/mkroskop-polyvar-reichert-jung-IDP98ww.html?...

Re: PZO DIC
Do you think it would be better to try to find all the parts and build a PZO DIC system or buy this: https://www.olx.ua/d/uk/obyavlenie/mkro ... derIndex=0 and try to find a condenser prism for it?

Re: PZO DIC
The issue with PLAN CFN is that I can't find them for a normal price, every objective I see is (apart from the 100x) is 150euro+
I found some other nikon objectives for a normal price.
