Hi Piotr, I have no idea. I can give you measurements from the Wild phase plates, but without similar data from the VZ you're stilll nowhere. However, just go...
Don... I think it could be a member of Thecamoeba. How about this one: "Artodiscus - body globular (...) a few pseudopodia extend through pores of the...
I have no idea, but it looks a bit like a small Chlamydoprys, based on the clear test and the filopodia sticking out. I haven't been able to find more info...
I've read that chapter carefully. The difference is that these lay down a web of very fine filaments and I don't think they are really 'part' of the cell after...
I have a Wild M20 with phase fluotars that do not work with the Universal Phase Condenser on my Zeiss Photomic III. I agree with René that bulding a phase...
Hi Rene, ... At the risk of starting some more 'nitpicking' - from your experience would you estimate these differences to be less than 20% say? The real...
Hello Pelligrino, I apologize for the delay in responding. ... This document is not available as the link is no longer active? Do you happen to have the PDF...
Hi Don, ... Is it possible that this demonstrates what Rene has referred to as a "difference in spacing of the frustules" - and hence the dimensions of all Ap...
Michele, the H position should be empty, allowing the condenser to function very much like a standard #600 series BF condenser. HTH, Howard ... about ... just ...
You are right: the link is not still available. Try this I checked: http://swehsc.pharmacy.arizona.edu/exppath/micro/confocal.html see you Pellegrino ... ...
... Probably yes, but remember, that's the difference between 0.25 and 0.20 um. On another scale, the difference in resolution between a 1.25 and 1.40NA is...
Okay, I've added more images to WIT: http://www.science-info.org/pages/edfwill/WIT/ rather a lot of them. With this camera it's so easy. No smart cards, no...
Hello Group! I have a rather long question, but important for me to get an objective answer. I want to buy another microscope to replace my current one. I will...
Dear Fellows: I’m not sure where this idea that Amphipleura pallucida comes with different size dots came from but it is a bit misleading. Diatoms with...
For many years the PMS (Postal Microscopical Society) maintained a North American Circiut. I was the Circuit manager and it was indeed a very taxing job. The...
Hi, The only A. pellucida specimen I have ever seen have been supplied within the last few years by Klaus Kemp. I have tried many Zeiss 100X objectives...
Hi Frank, I have a Chinese microscope (along with a few non-Chinese others) and it has served me well. But for the same price I paid for it I could have...
Hi Aaron, My apologies for sending my response, in error, to Rene.... ... I am not an expert microscopist, but I do believe your observation re the "specimen"...
Hi Tim, I took a look and the beautiful Leitz for $495, reconditioned and is hard to pass up. But it doesn't have the trinocular port which is my whole reason...
Hello Jim, It is a pleasure to hear from you again - especially on a diatom issue... ... Oh yes, Jim, once again you make these subtle aspects of optical ...
Hi Jim, Your's points are a very interesting. I could not fathom why I could get good results with F.rhomboides and have issues with A. pellucida which was...
I discussed this matter with Klaus some time ago and he told me that although the specimens had been mounted on the slide the cover had also been "pressed...
By the way there are a few pictures of a colourless cresent shaped protist that looks like a colourless green alga; very similar in shape to Kirshneriella or...

Jim has a good point about the sferical abberation, this is correctable though by changing tubelength slightly, if needed. When asking KK, he mentioned the...
