Re: Buying an Eyepiece

I bought a very similar microscope a year ago. It was sold as a
Bresser Biolux AL 20x-1280x.

The package included an aluminium ring (21mm int, 23mm ext,
16mm height) that was attached to the video capture device
named "PC-Ocular". (The PC-Ocular is part number 4, and the ring
is part number 4b.)

I can use this ring to adapt the 19.9mm eyepieces to the tube
without the Barlow lens.
The ring can fall into the tube so I put some adhesive tape
around it to make it wider.

A 23.1mm eyepiece from a another microscope works OK.

My microscope is still working, so I guess it must be quite "fool friendly".
I hope you have fun with yours and learn as much as i do !

Very good! I took out the barlow lens and tried one of the eyepieces.
The eyepiece was very loose but I could still focus with it. So,
without the barlow lens the 23mm eyepiece should work fine.

This is all new to me and I'm having fun with it.

Thank you Isla
and
Thank you Richard
