I picked up a Taylor Hobson Universal Micro-Alignment Unit
model 112/636-139. It seems in good condition and complete
except for the light.
This is the place where the light would go.
This is the mounting fitting. It appears to mate to
a twist lock fixture.
The hole seems neither inch .559" nor metric 14.18mm.
No problem, I can make any diameter.
But there is no mirror in the unit that would reflect
the light into the optical path so any mirror must be
part of the missing fixture. A could make the fixture to
hold a mirror perhaps using a slide cover plate as the mirror.
The size restriction, .559", seems like it would
block some of the optical path. I have looked online
for a picture of what the missing part would look
like but have not found one.
Will this work or am I up against some fundamental
limit?
