That is interesting. I don't think I've seen so many native system tubes stacked before. I stack a lot of M42 tubes, but those things are 1.0mm thread and sturdy like gas pipes, and I have adapters to M42 for all my objectives (RMS, M25, M26, M27) the 50mm Photar (M40) and enlarger lenses (M39 forward and M40.5x0.5 reversed).

What is the rotator under the camera? Is there a swivel section in the tube near the camera that we can't see from this angle?

The macro tubes are a Kenko set with Nikon mount, plus a short set of threaded tubes to ensure the optimum distance needed for the microscope objective.

In this formula, the rotator provides only the optimum/reduced coupling height above the track. In another formula with longer optics, it is replaced by another device and it is mounted below the track on which it is now mounted, to provide convergence for S3D captures.
