The Nikon FX-UFX-II system is a 35mm. film systems

We are offering for sale 2 complete systems, with one controller box.

•  2 photo tubes that fit into the trinocular microscope port.  This part holds the projection lens.

•  3 projection lenses.  These are Nikon CF lenses a 2.5X,  a 4X and a 5X magnification that slide into a fitting in the photo tube. 

•  2 base adapter units with exposure, light monitoring, electronic shutter, with critical focusing eyepiece, electronic unit capable of various methods for assessing the image.  Specifically spot and and averaging metering promotes accurate exposure in low light applications.

•  2 film adapters (35mm film) for the bridge between the exposure control unit and film carrier.  The distal end of this adapter has the Nikon F-mount fitting.

•  4 film carriers (dark box) that couple with the adapter for 35mm film.  The film carriers are capable of switching in real time so that different camera backs can be loaded with different types of 35mm film.  Two of these camera backs are in original boxes and may be new, but I can’t be sure.

•  2 remote control  shutter releases.

•  1 Main controller Box with 3 cables, and 2 hand shutter releases.  I have tested the main controller box by connecting it to the base adapter units and plugging it in. 

•  Copies of the original instructions.

Briefly, the vertical photo tube sleeve inserts into the trinocular microscope port and the projection lens is dropped into the vertical photo tube sleeve.  The projection lens projects the magnified image onto the film plane.   The UFX main shutter control/monitoring unit slides into the photo tube, and 35mm. film adapter and motorized camera back film holder mount on top.  The control unit connects to the exposure monitoring/control unit with 2 cables, a power supply, and shutter release (optional).

Images on this listing are of individual components and the complete system assembled, plus a borrowed image of the system in place (microscope not included).

Note: People are learning to adapt this system to non-35mm film photomicroscopy.  Apparently, because of Nikon's traditional F bayonet fitting, this creates opportunities to mount something other than the camera backs described here.  I have not tried these techniques
