presuming that there is something not working with the diverging mirror.
Why pull the Knob off when it looks as if you could access the mirror by undoing the lighting tube access panel at the rear.

Just a suggestion as i have no experience on a Polyvar MET.

Right place and time again Charles.
Beautiful shots as normal for you.

living as I do with no access to any beaches
(shielding) here in the UK. nice to see the unusual with absolutely no idea on the unknown subject but lovely clear shot for someone with the knowledge.

Keep exploring Robert.
Your subjects and presentations are always interesting and well received
on this side of the pond.
Just wish that i lived in Canada.

lovely shots.

Please leave it alone.
Lovely shot, conveys all that one could wish for.

Lovely standard of staining from whoever.
Kind of slide I wish that i owned.

And still giving first-class results.
lovely shot.

Nice capture Frank.
intrigued by the change in background, was she dragging fly back to a lair?

Lovely tint in the first photo.
All very good shots and will have to give this one a try.

That was some coincidence that my other half and myself were looking at a leaf
under stereo with exact leaf and markings, or should that be hairs.
The same time as your photo popped up on screen.
wish i could say Great minds.

Thank you all for the suggestions, also to the PM's Received.

More to do to finish two mask, but getting there.

Can any one help with instructions for making slit mask for hoff mod.
picked up a couple of objectives, but web instructions seem to be getting very complicated.
Old Age again rearing its head.

Reminds me of an Alien Code message that we can not yet read.

I do find that the background distracts a little, the I go back to it and seems appropriate for the subjects.

What i am saying is nice shots, lighting could do with more work, overall i like it.

Very nice shot, and I find the lighting very good, and the "idea" well done for that one.

Wanted.. So that is two of us after a "Zeiss Universal Epi Head"
I will take any, especially with the Pol Insert.

Sorry if I have taken from your thread in any way.
Should i get any offers will pass on to you first.

Love the lighting on those first two shots, very special.
