Hi, It is this one. I am just hobbyist and this just arrived a few days ago but it is a bit much for me. I dont need suc powerful microscope. I will be happy...
I posted this message on sci.techniques.microscopy, but the group seems to be "mostly dead" (as Miracle Max would say). I recently bought a Euromex ZE series...
I fully agree with John, a hard steel pinion running on a brass rack should not be lubricated, anymore than the wheels and pinions of clocks should be...
Hi If your stereoscope is new and warranty still remaining, why dont you return it to shop where you buy it from. I have aligned one 40years old stereoscope,...
Thanks guys. I just got this scope at a flea market, so no warranty. The symptom I notice is if I have a specimen in focus it looks a bit off, e.g., looking...
Hi Rich, Hope this anecdotal story helps you. A number of years ago, I was a substitute teacher in up state NY. One day, I was called in to cover the classes...
It's a 0.7 - 4.5 x (or 7 - 45 with the 10x oculars. It also came with a 0.3x single screw-in auxiliary lens that reduces the magnification (natch) but...
Oh, yeah, the illumination system is whatever I stick on it. I have a FO ring light (I need to make a mount for it), double FO spots, and a great Dolan-Jenner...
It is not an anomaly for a stereo microscope to be parfocal. All the good ones start that way. It looks like you have several problems with your microscope....
As an expert repair person (professionally)Â I would suggest to find out in detail what is wrong before attempting any fixes. The worst mistake you can make is...
... Hi Joe Picking up your auxiliary lens comment, the radically different working distance is not uncommon on stereos. These specs are often in the maker's...
I have a recently-acquired Olympus CX31. Two, in fact, from the same source. The objectives in both are so tight that I've stopped trying to remove them for...
Some service engineers carry a type of bottle opener around with them for this sort of problem. They are effectively strap wrenches with suitable belts. There...
Hi All, I am hoping a member of your group might be able to help my team - we are a health care and life-sciences management consultancy doing research on...
When I mentioned strap wrenches / bottle openers I forgot to mention gripping the knurled part of the objective otherwise the outer barrel of the objective...
... Hi According to the CX31 brochure online, all components including objectives are 'firmly fixed to the body' suggesting as you suspected some anti removal...
Olympus may have used some thread locker cement (e.g., Locktite) on the objectives. If it were mine and I was determined to remove the existing objectives, I...
So we have over 50 Swift M8000D compound microscopes in our community college biology department: http://fhbio.com/m8000d/m8000d-05.jpg They aren't pretty but...
From your pics, the 'transformer' is not really a transformer. It's a Solid State 'transformer' which is a missnomer. It's actually a switching regulator. When...
Is that an Ortholux head and nose piece on that frame? Even the stage is the same as the older Ortholux's. Wouldn't mind getting hold of that one but the...
Yes, that is certainly part of the problem. ... From: Microscope@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Microscope@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of charles.2211 Sent: Friday, May...
Ditto per John below. It is not a simple 60 Hz transformer with triac "dimmer" control. In the event that the lamp itself burns out is important to replace the...
Possibly but I don't think so. It is a horseshoe base with a substage mirror. If the horns of the horseshoe are facing the observer, as they must to be able...
Yeah, I may not know a lot about scope models and parts compatibility, but 733 bucks for "For parts or not working" could easily mean... NONE of the most...
That would be a problem getting a light in there or even shining a light on the mirror in that configuration. There are electrical lights that have a prong...
