Hi,

I'm not so sure anymore as to the brand of the device, it could well be
Olympus made: I have carefully studied the pictures I have on this
equipment (even used a strong  loupe) and it striked me, that these units
are only "Olympys" marked on the dustcaps, on the attached cameras and on
the eyepiece. When these are lost, there seems to be nothing to identify
the device... The equipment also carrys a small sticker with some
identification (f.e. "PM-10AD"), but this could be easily lost too...

Could send you some jpgs if you like.

Olympus (Microscope Division) produces right-angle microscope adapters,

f.e.: 

* the PM-6-8 compact photomicrographic system for use on the CH2 microscope
line 
(can be used on any microscope with a standard ocular tube). 

* the PM-10AK Semi-automatic exposure photomicrographic system for CH2

* the PM-10AD Semi-automatic exposure photomicrographic system for CH2 and
BHS/BHT 
(can only be used on other microscopes with the PM-ADF adapter), the
right-angle microscope adapter or more correct: the viewfinder of this
system is named "PM-PBS" or "PM-PBSP". It is used with the C-35AD
photomicrography camera.

The PM-6-8  is round and black, the others are cubic and of slightly yellow
color as far as I can tell from the pictures ("Olympus Microscope color").
I don't have one of these: IMHO nothing can beat a good old OM-1n for
photomicrography...

* There are also the newer system for more recent BX microscopes. I don't
have information on these.
