Help! LOMO MBC-10/MBS-10/LF-100 setup

Post by mikebailey61 »

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I've recently returned to microscopy after a break of about 30 or more years! I recently got hold of a used trinocular MBC 10 stereo with photo adaptor in what seems to be quite excellent condition from Brunel Microsystems here in the UK but sadly, no instructions for use. Does anyone have a PDF or a written manual that they can scan for me?

I'm particularly interested in getting the photo arm aligned and parfocal with the binocular head. I've already had some success with connecting my Canon Powershot A75 and webcam. I have DigimaxT 40 and DigimaxT Zoom 1.25 projection eyepieces and a Creative Sony CCD webcam and other gear from my planetary imaging gear. Oh yes, does anyone know how to calculate the magnification of an eyepiece or know the mags for the ones I'm using by any chance?

Cheers, Mike Bailey
