Incredible images. I'm clueless how the flash apparatus works but I'd like to know. I'm not savvy with things like that. Is there a collector lens in the path or field lens in that hub on the stainless tube? What sort of beamsplitter is in the aluminum box. That's a counterweight on the end correct?

Absolutely amazing images and detail! In order to work at 100x, you must have to press the parts you want to image against the coverslip? How do you do that? Thanks!

Hello Protos, thnak you very much!

Hello Smokedaddy,
I think it is a collimator lense and in the box a special mirror, permeable to the light of the microscope and gazing for the light of the flash. Build in in the best angel for this.
You can see it here:

It is very comfortable, and I can use it for my Zeiss Universal too.

Hello nanometer,
it was lot of good luck.
Carefully reducing the water layer and good luck with this special one which was always on the coverglass and showed me his details.
I had before about 20 others, which showed me nothing with 100 lense.
So a lot of patient and good luck was neccessary.
