Thank you so much JW for sharing your journey on the forum. When I get the remaining parts for the Laboval 4 I will undertake the journey as well and feedback.

UPDATED:I was told that all attachments that fit the Labophot will fit the Optiphot. The opposite isn't true. You can't mount an epi illuminator on a Labophot due to the optic in the head mount. I think the condenser centering carrier are interchangeable but that's it. I have no personal experience with this, only what I was told.

Interesting - it must be a different illuminator. Maybe the tube length is different.
There's a parallel-looking slug of glass in the Diaphot turret, too.

-JW:
I have an Optiphot stand that I could possibly sell without any optics...the PSU doesn't work, but you can power the lamp externally of course, as I have been doing.

Has stage and binocular head.

I am in the UK.

Mike,

I am really only interested in the items outlined in yellow, especially if it was coming from overseas.

Thanks for responding,
