That looks lovely. I think Nikon is way too often overlooked for Zeiss in older high quality optics. I bought some Nikon CFWN microscope eyepieces (10x so 25mm, and 15x so c 17mm) and a microscope head which I use for solar & lunar, and they are brilliant. The EPs are on a par w Zeiss microscope EPs at a fraction of the price. Enjoy!

The optics look very good -- but I'm a bit sceptical of their focuser. What's your opinion?

Those eyepieces look just like the Japanese microscope eyepieces from that period. I'm guessing around 1970?

Thanks guys

The focuser is not great and I have a 3D printer adapter to be able to use other types of eyepieces. The objective is great, great color correction.
