Thanks for the link, I did look at that but the website didn't allow shipping to my country. So I asked the same seller on ebay but he had no more stocks of it. So that was a dead end.

I was just about to post an update actually, that I don't need this any more, as the design is actually not optimal and I am designing and fabricating an improved version myself. I'll post about that soon!

Thank you for your help.

My modified design is here: https://www.microbehunter.com/microscopy-forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=13673
Looks pretty slick. Would you be interested in selling one of those?

Glad this might be useful for others. I have given a more detailed answer on the other thread on how I intend to make this available.
