These components and interferometer systems by HP, Agilent, Excell and Teletrak, for measuring distance, velocity and vibration are among the most useful available. They are simple, elegant, but do require your understanding and a little homework. However, I) because system design is a MAJOR component of the "success" (read that " - it works, is consistent and accurate - ") of your project, and II) because both engineering and tech time is expensive here in Silicon Valley, we strongly recommend 1) that you do your own design, and 2) that you bone up pretty thoroughly on the principles and details. PLEASE NOTE ON GUARANTEES - we provide tested, working laser heads. We do not measure the outout power.. We are in no position to GUARANTEE the lifetime of the head.

ILLUMINATION is the other "half" of any microscope.
The choice of illumination and the illuminator itself make the
difference between anumber informative view and a useless one.
With a little creative effort and some tinkering, the result can
be "brilliant". Several approaches are suggested:
a) Fiber Ring lights offer a quasi-darkfield approach.
b) Brightfield can be improvised by shining collimated into one
eyetube and making the observation through the other. This is
a vert powerful technique for revealing surface detail and creating
contrast in semi-transparent materials, especially if polarizing
filters are also used.
c) For diffuse lighting, take a disposable polystyrene coffee
cup, cut a hole in the bottom to fit the nose of the microscope,
cut a smaller hole in the side to introduce illumination, and
voila, you have a 90% effective integrating "sphere"
providing very uniform illumination.
d) Finally, for specular, collimated light, the new "white"
LED flashlights are VERY good, and are quite small enough to aim
easily. Experiment to get the best results and to see fine surface
marks and indentations.

MICROPHOTOGRAPHY
Using Digital Cameras:
For Small Entrance Pupil cameras such as Nikon 950, 990, 995,
to avoid vignetting (you will have to adjust the camera zoom towards
midedle or telephoto end of the range) you can create perfectly
focused images relying on autofocus. All that is required is to
place the camera lens against the eyepiece, or close to the same
position the eye would be in, focus the microscope (or telescope)
until camera autofocus can "acqure" focus, and shoot.
And don't forget to turn the flash to "off".

IOHO (Our Humble Opinion -) the Greenough geometry has fewer glass/air
interfaces, is less costly for equivalent performance, and does
not introduce an assymetrical element (the common objective lens)
in the optical path. The result is a "clearer" image
with more contrast. The same cannot be said for all brands. Nikon
optics have been renowned for decades for high acuity and excellent
resolution. The view through these Nikon SeteroZoom scopes rivals
the best we
have seen.
