This is a basic type eyepiece tube base.
There is a dovetail (truncated cone) joint at the top to
attach an eyepiece tube, which is used for visible
observation.
If you don't need visible observation, the mount can
be left unused. In this case, attach a cover to the
dovetail joint.
This is an eyepiece tube base with a camera port.
Use the optical path selector knot at right to change
the optical path between the eyepiece side and the
side port side.
A direct C-mount adapter is attached to the side port
for camera connection.
This is an eyepiece tube base for external phase
contrast microscopy.
A turret is provided at the front to attach external
phase plates. Three positions, "A" to "C", are
available. Focus settings can be adjusted for three
positions individually. Besides, phase plates can be
centered with the screws at both side and clamped
with the screw at the back.
A side port with a C-mount adapter is provided at
left. Use the optical path selector knot at right to
change the optical path between the eyepiece side
and the side port side.
Use the side port for photomicroscopy of external
phase contrast microscopy.
