Information on microscope heavy duty chassis suitable for making custom microscope assemblies
Some microscopes using heavy duty chassis:
- Minnetonka Precision
- Mitutoyo toolmaker
- McBain Z-Scope
- Nikon toolmaker
BH2 Toolmaker
Above: McMaster 2 left, McMaster 1 right. 1 originally looked more like 2 but the bottom illuminator and original XY stage were removed
I've never been able to positively identify who makes it. The common parts are:
- Focus: crank for coarse focus as well as medium-fine focus knobs like on traditional microscopes
- Bottom illuminator
- Mitutoyo digimatic for Z measurement
Comparison as received:
| Component | Mc1 | Mc2 |
|---|---|---|
| XY stage | Style 1
Large Mitutoyo manual |
Style 2

| Observation tube | Trinocular standard | Trinocular ergonomic |
| Objectives | Mitutoyo M Plan Apo | Olympus NeoDPlan, MSPlan |
| Illuminator | BH2-UMA
