I want to add a filter holder to the .90 Achr flip-out condenser on my Labophot. Anybody have experience with something like this? Any other options? Thanks.

Helpful link to previous post, thank you. I'll look more closely at the Abbe 1.25 condenser.

I got an Abbe 1.25 condenser and the darkfield filter set from here and am pretty pleased with results so far. I've only used a couple of the filters, but here is one image taken with the 4x objective - stonefly larvae.

This is just a single shot, no stacking, no sharpening. Works well for doing the ID work I want.

The rotating filter holder that goes on the bottom of the adapter can be used with a variety of 32mm filters; I am using it to hold the bottom polarizer for polarized illumination, with the Nikon analyzer placed between the scope body and head.
