Most of the Olympus microscope cameras don't have an OM mount, they use a
custom adapter which is dependent on the microscope being used. None of
these cameras will take an OM lens, so just because a new body will work
with a microscope, it does not ensure that it will take an OM lens. Even
in the medical/scientific field (where Olympus is a major player), the OM
system is dead.
