Hi Thefsb - I sucessfully removed the cemented in glass in an Olympus Pen-S using a rotary tool and a very small engraving cutter (0.8mm). But taking a close look at your posted photos, doesn't look like you have very much room to work in. I had a lot of room in the Pen-S to access the glass.

The beamsplitter is 13mm X 24mm.
Bust the old one out and have the new one cut to the proper size. |
