I am looking to try out Rolf Vossen's 'Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces' by combining a 10x Kpl with a 8x Kpl
https://microscopyofnature.com/micropho ... -eyepieces
Don't have either of those pieces as yet, so my question ...
anyone in Europe have one of each going spare
or
would anyone like to share in the purchase (assuming they are sold in pairs) and then divide them up?

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Hi 75RR,
I could sent you the lower part from the KPL8x for free, the eye lense is scratched so it seems a good coincidense for you. So it would be just the shipment, approx 9 Euro or so.
Let me know as soon as you got the KPL 10x.
Sometimes difficult to find one of the KPL 10x with an eyelense in good condition.

Do post some results with your hybrid eyepiece once you get the necessary components.

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Unfortunately not the eyepiece needed to mix and match with the 8x ... so still on the lookout

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
An obvious question I know but have you tried ebay? Querying "Zeiss Kpl" brings back a lot of eyepieces many of which are the 10x and 8x that you seek. Whether you find ones in good condition, especially for photomicrography is a whole other topic.

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Look most days. Have yet to find a suitable 10x in Europe - needs to be the right type, condition and price of course.
Have seen one in the US, but at 50 dollars + 25 shipping + import tax, a little too much for what is basically a test.

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Think I may be able to dig up a KPL 10x that looks a lot like the one in the eBay ad you just posted. Will have a look tomorrow.

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Hello 75RR I thought you'd managed to get a pair. I am selling my standard 18 which has a pair on it but realise that that's not much use to you. I hope you get sorted soon.

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
Does it need to be the one with white lettering, a d not the more normal black-topped kpl? I have both and have been meaning to try it on my own standard, I'll repoet back on results.

Thanks for the good wishes IanW
and can be screwed in place interchangeably in either eyepiece barrel.

Not sure that the colour of the writing is significant, I believe the main condition is that the top and bottom lens of the 8x and the 10x screw out,Scarodactyl wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 3:51 pmDoes it need to be the one with white lettering, a d not the more normal black-topped kpl?

Re: Zeiss Hybrid Eyepieces
I got one for like 25 bucks shipped last week. Afocal through a 12.5x has been unimpressive CA-wise so I hope this will be better.
