You might be able to find the tripod mount here. As the list. Also, John
Hermanson might have one in stock. It can't hurt to ask. The only downside
is that you still have to buy a focusing stage.

Thank you for your quick reply. I guess I basically
bought a $50 paperweight since all this thing has is a
small plastic stopper at the end that screws in,
nothing more. I'll contact the guy I bought it from,
and pray he returns my cash.
