Reichert Polyvar SC

Hello All,
I recently acquired a Reichert Polyvar SC wafer inspection scope -
big with
a Kensington XY, Theta stage. Sadly, it did not come with objectives
or
any documentation, but the price absurdly low low low so I couldnt
pass it up.
But of course I'll need objectives eventually and documentation never
hurts,
which is why I turn to the goodwill of you folks. I have asked leica
about the manuals
for this, but thy only had one for the Poyvar Met which is configured
quite differently.
Does anyone on this group have manuals for the SC that they would be
willing to share?
or a reference as to where else i could ask?

Regarding the objectives, I have a couple questions. After much
googling, I haven't
yet been able to determine what type of thread is on the objectives
for this scope.
Related to that, are any of the leitz or leica objectives compatible
with the polyvar?
I suspect that the original Reichert objectives might be hard to come
by, so I am
curious about installing some others to get things up and running
while
i search for the originals. I have a bunch of Leitz RMS infinity
corrected objectives for
my Ergolux, are there thread adapters available that would allow me to
use these
on the Polyvar?

More generally, this scope is new to me and I am unfamiliar with the
Reichert
lines so any general info, notes from people who have used them, etc.
would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help.

Mike
