Dear Ethan,

most probably your SP2 scanhead doesnt have the adaptation for X1 port.
Check this:
http://biology.illinoisstate.edu/images/confocal-schem-ISU.jpg
X1 port should be just above pinhole (7) and analyzer wheel (8), i.e.
instead of mirror there should be a modification for X1 port.

The subject of your original post was "Leica MP", i.e. it could be easy to
adapt third party detectors for RLD-NDD port of your multiphoton system.

Best regards,
Jan
