Thanks Markus
I really want to avoid taking the base off again in the short term..I should have taken notes damn it....that little arm you can see in the photo is held on by a spring washer and it is difficult both to remove and refit.a nightmare actually..the base only comes away by three quarters of an inch and you have to reach in with pointy pliers in that small gap to disconnect that arm to open it up...so if I can get an external unit I will give that approach a go...if I am forced to I will take it off again I will but in that event option two (if no success that time with a transformer fix etc) I will fit led lights...and certainly do away with that spring fastener somehow.
I don't know if I mentioned but it has a pointer in one eye piece and a scale in the other so I can record actual sizes of animals and things.
I was looking at a worm last night and one could see all his internals working away.
I know the lighting is a big deal that is why I was both happy and surprised my jury rig worked..it would be great to be a able to take advantage of the lighting set up with the polarizer...I have yet to order some slides and cover slips..I have a couple of slides but no cover slips so no high mag until I get them.
But great so far.
