Description
Olympus BH-2 microscope right eyepiece prism for BH2-TR30 trinocular and BH2-BI30 binocular head | AB0304Right eyepiece prism for the microscope heads used on Olympus BH-2 / IMT-2 microscopes.
This is the prism that is mounted inside the head on the right eyepiece tube. The metal casting - the one with the eyepiece tube that the prism holder is attached to - carries the number AB0304.
This particular prism was removed from an Olympus BH2-BI30 binocular head, but it should also fit, among others, the following microscope heads with eyepiece tubes for eyepieces of 23.2 mm diameter:
- Olympus BH2-BI30
- Olympus BH2-TR30
- Olympus BH2-TBI
- Olympus BH2-TTR
- Olympus BH2-TET
Before you decide to use it to repair a head other than the one it was removed from, I recommend checking it first with specialists on forums or groups devoted to Olympus microscopes.
The prism shown here sits in its original holder, and the whole assembly is attached to the right eyepiece tube (casting AB0304) - and that is exactly what I am offering, as a complete unit.
This prism is not a spare part for the microscope itself. It is a repair part for an Olympus microscope head - and that head can sit on various microscopes, even on instruments from manufacturers other than Olympus. The most important microscopes this head is most often used with are listed in the "compatibility" section, but this is by no means a complete list.
The irreplaceable Carl Hunsinger has written an excellent service manual for the BH2-BI30 microscope head ([[ LINK ]]) and for the BH2-TR30 ([[ LINK ]]).

A note on the eyepiece tube diameter: the mounting diameter for the eyepieces is 23.2 mm, but some sources state 23 mm or 23.5 mm - that is a rounded measurement, and it is still one and the same tube.
