Re: Heine condenser to Optiphot
I saw that on eBay but I'm not familiar with the labophot configuration/dovetail etc. and didn't know if it's the same as the Optiphot.

... BTW, I did ask the eBay seller before posting here, just haven't received an email from him yet.

Re: Heine condenser to Optiphot
Labophot and Optiphot uses the same condenser dovetail, and if you check the last photo in the eBay ad it specifically says Labophot/Optiphot.
Re: Heine condenser to Optiphot
This is correct. I have adapted a Heine to Labophot 2 and Optiphot 1 by using a dovetail adapter, Legos and super glue.viktor j nilsson wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 6:42 pmLabophot and Optiphot uses the same condenser dovetail, and if you check the last photo in the eBay ad it specifically says Labophot/Optiphot.
That eBay solution is more elegant than my DIY and did not exist when I made my DIY.
