I'm trying to get a Bio-rad two-photon with and Olympus BX51WI optics 
aup and running. I need a nosepiece for that, but the lenses I have are 
all large barrel. Olympus sells a 6 position rotating one, but with the 
old, thinner thread. And then they have a very expensive sliding 
two-position one with large barrel threads.
Does anyone knows if some other company fabricates this sort of parts? 
Ideally I would wish a 4-5 position rotating nosepiece large barrell, or 
any other model with at least two large barrel positions. All these 
lenses are infinity corrected, so I'm assuming no problem on the 
distance from the scope, should I look for trouble on that as well?
Last case scenario, anyone knows of an alternative (with better price) 
or second one for one of these Olympus 2 position sliding pieces?

thanks in advance
