I recently bought a Olympus BHTU-BH2 on Ebay which came with a small box marked "darkfield". The microscope works well and I assume the condenser (DCD 0.92-0.8) does too. The problem is that I have no idea how to install it. No help is forthcoming from the internet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
installing a darkfield condenser

It's very simple, you just need to remove one condenser and put the other in place, there are two Olympus main condenser mounting systems but I think that all BH2 do use the base dovetail mount referred by houstontx. Once mounted you must place it at the right height and perform a careful centering to get good dark field.
