    Description

    This is an Olympus BH2-Era BHM metallurgical microscope, complete with a working illuminator with power supply and three NIC (epi DIC) objectives with prisms, a 10x, 20x and 40x neo SPlan.  It is equipped with a rare superwide trinocular head with 10x/26.5 superwide eyepieces which is DSLR ready with a 2.5x NFK eyepiece and modified photomicro adapter with a Canon adapter (another brand can be used with an m42 adapter).  You can get very nice DIC with good color on a variety of surfaces, plus epi brightfield and darkfield illumination.  This was a very high end piece of kit in its day.
    Note it comes with a 5x NeoSplan objective on a spacer which is not quite parfocal with the other objectives.  This objective unfortunately is a little decentered, so while it's fine to use as a finder objective it isn't going to be good for photography.
    Note one of the magnetic side dust covers was missing when I got it and I have made a 3d printed replacement which works just as well.
    This baby was my pride and joy for a bit but I ended up assembling something more custom and I don't need it anymore.
