Description
Lomo MBC-10 / MBS-10 / OGME-P3 MFU stereo microscope trinocular head tube / camera photo adapter with M42 threadMFU - adapter for connecting a camera or photographic device to the MBC-10 / MBS-10 / OGME-P3 stereo microscope.
This microscope component allows simultaneous visual observation and image capture (photography or video recording) on the LOMO MBC-10 (Lytkarino) stereo microscope.
The designation MBC-10 is the Cyrillic spelling. The equivalent name written in the Latin alphabet is MBS-10.
The MBC-10 microscope was also sold under the following names:
- OGME-P3
- SF-100 (name used in the USA)
- Silver Connection MBC-10 (mainly on the German market)
These are exactly the same microscopes, therefore this trinocular attachment is also compatible with those models.
