For those interested in Vickers microscopes you could try contacting
Geoff Cottam who was the last technical director of Vickers
Microscopes (e-mail me off-list for address and phone number). He
will know who might be able to help. For our M55s, after the decease
of their photographic systems one of our technicians designed a face
plate with a T mount to replace the 35mm camera back, The T mount
then being used with an Olympus OM2 back. This worked very nicely; of
the two made one is with Dana Goodburn-Brown in Chatham and the other
is on its way to EH at Portsmouth. I also know you can get a C mount
adaptor from Nikon for the Nikon Coolpix 9xx series cameras, and
their SLR digital camera back will fit a standard Nikon mount as on
an Epiphot.
Yours,
Peter
