I feel I should announce that there is Egomon 5000 group on Yahoo where they have posted some images of diatoms and what appears to be images of test slide of...
Hi, Carolina, The front reflex housing lets you look at what the camera sees through an eyepiece and if the distance the camera is set back from the reflex...
John, I have a Leitz Aristophot with a light shifting device like that one and an have another light shifting box that mounts on the two uprights of the...
Hi David, I preview on a good monochrome monitor. Mine is only 12 inch and bigger is better. The more I hear about Carolina's camera the closer it comes to ...
Hi Charles. The ideal would be a flash integrated with my fiber optic illuminator. As it stands now I use the modeling light for composition and focusing. This...
Ron, I have not yet tried it but maybe you could use a bifurcated light guide in the reverse direction. Putting the flash on one leg and the illuminator on the...
Hi Ted, Opps - that email was meant for Charlie so it is out of context. Yes a bifurcated light guide can be used - the down side is the fibre optic adapter on...
Hi Gordon, Thanks for updating your list on the Ergonom discussion. I do NOT wish to resume the discussion on this list now, I just wanted to add a few points...
I have failed in a search on this site for a thread concerning entering the diagnostics of a nikon camera. If anyone remembers the thread could you post it or...
While waiting for delivery of my first microscope, I'm getting together a few of the accessories I'll need. One thing puzzles me - given that most objectives...
Thanks, Gordon. I have two of the mirror boxes and the plate that joins them as pictured in the photos. I am missing the actual base on which the microscope...
Ron, Have you considered introducing the flash like this: http://www.couger.com/microscope/pix/flash%20optic%20cable.gif I have some 50 mm dia 40 mm focal...
Dear Dave: Get a Pax-cam not the Motic. The Pax-Cam has a 3mg and a 5mg.. The cost is not near as bad as you might thing... if you consider all the trouble...
Hi Gordon, Excellent article! The inboard flash tube setup you made up looks ideal. However I am not yet ready to "sacrifice" my Nikon flash but that day may...
Hello Dave, Jim S. makes a sound suggestion. The PAXcam system has several platforms of the imaging system software and camera, which includes full screen...
... For the DIY'er, a good way of doing this is to buy unjacketed, clad fibre-glass strands. Take half of the bundle, say, and form into a circular shape. Take...
Gregg, The EDU unit is 1.3 mpixel for $1200 What is the price of the 3mpixel unit? Regards, Mike Gregg Kleinberg <microscopeman@...> wrote: Hello Dave, Jim...
Hello Mike, A bit more pricey, I'm afraid. PAXcam 3 "Camera Only" (meaning no imaging software, just the acquisition window) is US$2,900.00; including the...
The machine shop finally got my adapter* back to me so that I could test out my D70. The setup works as I had hoped it would. I mount the D70 to the adapter...
Thanks Jim, Gregg and others for advice. I've heard the Paxcam is a good system and it is available here in the UK but the price is about 80% higher than the...
I have uploaded some photos that were taken with the setup that I described earlier - a Nikon D70 mounted on an HFX camera system attached to an SMZ-10 stereo ...
Hi All, With all the various opinions on various camera systems, I thought I would just upload to my photos folder (Aaron) a variety of images all taken with...
An unprocessrf digtal image is never very sharp by film standards. The process of pixalization reduces the sharpness that is restored by image processing. To...
Ron, I did not make the idea and integrating box clear. The reason for using an integration box you can point any flash unit in to the box and not modify it at...
Dear David: I sympathies greatly with your difficulty... For years I have gone through most of the possibilities available to consumers interested in...
Yesterday I joined 'Skype' and have called a few people around the world. It works very well and even if it worked badly it's still free. Some time ago I used...
