I put this together. It works well, but slow. I am not using it. Parts were more than what I ask.

And two M-42 fitting Pentax bellows. In good shape, no leaks and in boxes.
Pictures and description of system next.

The system consists of two of the bellows shown that had ripped bellows.
A digital vernier accurate to .01mm.
All tubes and fittings to fit Canon or Nikon.
A Vivitar 2x doubler, fits M-42.
And a 4x and a 10 x RMS(Royal Medical Society) microscope lens.
A flash/light with LED and articulated arms.
You will have to devise ways to hold subjects.
When you buy I will explain setting up and how I used. Amazing at ten x.

System $110
Bellows with two rails $60
Bellows with one rail $45
I will pay shipping. Prices open to haggling.
I have pay pal. RSVP here.

That's quite a system. Congratulations. I remember bellows being popular in the 1970s.

They work. They are much smoother than the focus rails today. Another use of the larger one.
When in use I get close, then the vernier gives me the ability to move the specimen in .01 mm incriments.

In the first photo, the rails look like they have a curvature (bend) in them. Are they bent or is that lens distortion?

Yeah, me too. I even had one for an Exakta camera. Didn't use it much but I had it.
