But, do you have a Meopta Camera to go with it? Meopta Optical equipment is good quality stuff, in the German league in optical and engineering quality. Nice Microscope, clean carefully, they are worth it.

Same here, I have the miniature Half Frame and Robot negative size version, which also took masks for 16mm Meopta and Minox film as well, a simple design enlarger, but it works perfectly. It has a deeply recessed lens mount to take take short focal length Minox size at 10mm focal length. It came with a 30 mm Belar lens as standard, very difficult to source the lenses for Minox neg size, so I found one from an optical reflectometer!

My Opemus was a discard from the local high school, when they updated their darkrooms (ten or so years ago). It has shutters in the negative carrier, to adjust for film size. I had problems with Newton's rings - the negative carrier had 2 glass sheets in it. I took these out, and made a mask of cardboard, for 35mm. A coat of polyurethane varnish gave the cardboard a smooth hard finish.
