Crouse, R S

The Bausch and Lomb Research II metallograph has been out of production for several years and objective lenses are becoming impossible to get. As lenses become damaged and unavailable, the usefulness of an otherwise fine instrument drops to zero. A successful attempt to retrofit Nikon lenses to a research II has been made. Mechanical modifications to the metallograph were easily accomplished by an experienced service man using the machine shop facilities available. The resulting modifications have restored the usefulness of our metallograph beyond expectations, and provided us with a viable means of maintaining it in sevice for many years to come.
