Experimental 2
After a visit from the Leica rep today we finally determined that the rather firmly attached diffuser can be replaced at low cost and, after several less robust methods failed, did indeed wind up assaulting the little fucker with a hammer. In consequence of which, I am able to report at least partial success in the matter of projecting a test pattern through the microscope onto a fluorescent sample. Behold!
