Nikon Eclipse C-CU Universal Condenser and DIC literature

Post by Photomicro »

I have spent some searching online for a manual for the Nikon Universal Condenser, C-CU.

Strangely, all I come up with is one for the similar D-CUD, which looks a little different.

I wondered if anyone has an electronic version, or can point to a source for one for the C-CU.

That or any literature or guides relating to the DIC system used for that and the Eclipse E600 microscope.

As Nikon have 'evolved' their Eclipse range and accessories, it is difficult at times to see the wood for the trees (as one of lecturers used to say about my essays).

Any help, pointers etc. gratefully received.
regards, Mike.

Hi,

I have a work in progress PDF document showing the old and new Nikon DIC systems with some pictures, part numbers and Nikon system diagrams.

If you send me a PM I can send you a copy.

I replied to this yesterday, but for some reason the message remains in my in-box; no idea why, I have sent and received PMs before.

I wonder if it would allow me to reply to one from you?

Thanks for your offer of help BTW.

See if this applies: "FAQ: There's a PM stuck in my Outbox. What's wrong?"

ah....I see ! No doubt you are right...I guess there is no way of knowing unless the recipient replies, or says here they haven't had it.

Thanks Rick.

Rather a late reply but I was also looking for C-CU information and came across this post (and subsquently also found the links below).
