OM-MOUNT PHOTOMICRO ADAPTER L
For photomicrography with the OM-1 SLR Camera, this adapter is used to mount an eyepiece to
the camera. In this use, the eyepieces require special eyepiece adapters FK, P or G in conjunction
with an Olympus microscope except the Universal Research Microscope VANOX and the Photo-
micrographic Stand PM-PSS. For 20X objectives or lower, the adapter L directly connects to either
of these three eyepiece adapters, while the VANOX and PM-PSS do not require any eyepiece
adapter for photomicrography with the OM-1 through the whole range of magnification.
