The PM-SDM-2 Light Excluding Collar was designed for connecting an OM body to a microscope in conjunction with the auto bellows of the PM-PSS Photomicrographic Supporting Stand and a PM-ADF eyepiece adapter. It had an OM bayonet for connecting to the bellows.

There was also a Light Shield Tube PM-SDM for connecting an OM body to a microscope in conjunction with the Auto Bellows and the Objective Lens Mount PM-MTob.

The Light Shield PM-SDM-2 allows the Macrophotographic Equipment PMT-35 to be used for microphotography, preventing false light entering the bellows.
The microscope is put on the Support Stand of the PMT-35, replacing the illuminator base, and the bellows is used as a photomicrographic adapter.
It connects to the OM-mount of the bellows of the PMT-35 and slides over the eyepiece.
The eyepiece must be inserted in the proper eyepiece adapter.
For best results in microphotography a photographic eyepiece with low magnification is recommended.
The Olympus FK 2.5× or NFK 2.5× are recommended for 35 mm film.
Be sure to leave some space between the top of the eyepiece and the PM-SDM-2 to prevent vibrations to be transmitted.
