Features

  • Externally M32 x 0.75-Threaded Adapters Compatible with Bergamo® and Cerna® Microscope Systems
  • Externally SM2-Threaded Adapters Compatible with the CSA2100 Cerna Mounting Arm
  • Internal Threading Compatible with Olympus, Nikon, Zeiss, and Leica Objectives
  • Lip Prevents Over-Threading into Microscope Nosepieces
  • Solid Brass Construction

These Brass Microscope Adapters can mate an externally threaded microscope objective to an internally M32 x 0.75- or SM2-threaded nosepiece. The design includes a flange to prevent over-threading the adapter or the objective into a microscope nosepiece, keeping the objective at the proper position and preventing damage to the optics inside the housing. In addition, the brass construction is harder than aluminum which reduces thread binding. The M32M32S adapter was created since many M32 x 0.75 threaded nosepieces have recessed threads. Due to the large diameter of some objectives, such as the TL10X-2P, a smaller diameter mount is needed to properly load in certain mating pieces. Each adapter has spanner wrench holes or slots for compatibility with our SPW801 Adjustable Spanner Wrench to help thread the adapters into a microscope nosepiece.

Hello. I'm looking for an adapter of 0.75 inch diameter to 1.0 inch diameter. The idea is to use Nikon objectives in a Zeiss microscope. Can you help me to decide which option is better? Thanks, Best regards, Andres Medina

Hello Andres, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Based on our direct discussion, in order to convert the M25 x 0.75 threads of the objective to the RMS threads of the microscope, you will need the RMSA2 adapter.
Tobias Noebauer  (posted 2020-08-31 21:00:44.693)
We keep having issues with this adapter getting stuck in a microscope objective thread. I think this is because of the two d=0.06in holes that go through the flange ring (the face with the markings). These holes have sharp edges on the opposite side of the flange ring, which get pressed against the microscope housing when the adapter is fastened. These sharp edges create extra friction that can get the adapter stuck quite firmly. Not even the spanner wrench tool can help in these situations, we have to use WD-40 and some special pliers. I would suggest not to drill these holes all the way through the flange ring but leave them blind. Thank you!
