Hi Don, I like very much your approach. At my first experiences with polarized light, I was rather scared of the many precautions to be taken in using the...
Hello, Here am I again with some (possible stupid) questions. I uploaded few other pictures to the album named "SERGIO" My question is about the blue filter...
Dear Salvatore, It is amazing how much we learn from doing the experiment ourselves with devices we design and build ourselves. The time involved in design and...

Dear Microscopist, Recently, I looked at a thin section of the mineral Prehnite, a slide that was made by the famous Dr. Heddle in late of the 19th century. I ...
Ian, I stared collecting information like that for myself and that shows what being familur with a good Internet bibliography can do in a about 15 minutes time...

Ed, I think you would have better luck parting this scope out. This is not a configuration that someone starts with. They already have a stand and want the...
Beautiful photomicrograph, Gregor, It is indeed a microscopic Matterhorn! Well done...... I see what I am missing without a 1/4 waveplate to complement my ...
I wonder whether microscope objectives that are recommended for DIC are also well suitable for polarizing light microscopy. Or if one still needs special...
Hello Gregor, I know that in the Olympus series, the S-Plans (Semi-Apochromats) were acceptable for POL and DIC. Really, the issue with DIC is depolarization ...
Probably so! That epi part is about the most of the charge though... ... Thanks, Ed Sharpe, Archivist for SMECC See the Museum's Web Site at www.smecc.org We...

Hi, Polarization is everywhere. Here's a really simple experiment anyone can do. Put on a pair of poalrized sunglasses. Sit in your car and look out of the ...
I recently acquired an American Optical (later Reichert) Forty stereo microscope. It's a model 42, with 10X and 20X magnification. It's built like a tank...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your configuration, and pardon me if I am; but if you want to make a reflector out of metal, you should get yourself some specular ...
Ed. EPI find a smaller amateur market than. I with Michelle sell the prices. If the heads Eleen you get 240, 50 or more for the stage, 60 to 80 for the stand...

Hi David, quite a good and precise explanation. With some care and patience it is possible by examining several samples of cellophane and other plastic films...
Hi Gregor and Gregg, I have also read from various sources, including Zeiss brochures, that objectives more complex than achromats were not recommended for...

I just purchased a used Nikon GH (similar to an SKe, but monocular) and I was trying to discover what the problem with the fine adjustment was. I was able to ...
Some time ago, I presented some of my brain slides (actually taken out of my own brain during a very serious life threatening illness). I used my petrologic...
... Well, it's worth quite a lot :-) As mentioned on your website, I would appreciate the Reichert and AO manuals for the StereoStar. Thanks, David Sykes...
To me, magnification is only of secondary importance. The more important thing to consider is resolution. Once you made a photomicrograph, you could just print...
