Might I ask a rather simple question? What sparked your interest in microscopy? Astronomy? When I was 4, my mother bought me a microscope for Christmas. When...
Hello Stephen, I have serviced hundreds of Cycoloptics in my lifetime, and have never used a bead of epoxy to "reinforce" original prism cement - however, I...
Great points, Dale! Just the thought I had when I read the other posts regarding interest of our younger generations. Since my daughters entered Elementary...
Thanks! This discussion reminds me of the time I was at a lake and someone was obviously having problems. A guy was flailing in the water clearly on his way...
Hi Greg, ... 0.1" = 2.54mm = 2540 microns. I suspect that this would be the smallest fillet that I could reliably make with epoxy. ... I take it that there...
I recently had the opportunity to spend 3 days in an elementary school with a bunch of props from the Vancouver Aquarium and I brought along 2 of my...
Here's an idea of something we can do: You can buy 10X loupes from Surplus Shed (surplusshed.com) for a dollar each (no, they're not apochromatic triplets or...
Stephen, Sorry, guess I read your post as 0.1mm (hence 100 microns!). No worries. That would indeed be a tiny, almost worthless amount of epoxy. Yes, the...
Good for you, Ian, Many of those lads and lassies will remember your involvement for years to come. I have been very fortunate in life. My yearly appearance...
I have been doing microscopy for some time but not getting involved too deeply. I have a Graf Apsco with a 47 power objective and a 10X eyepiece. If I buy a...
Hello all, I have an opportunity to by an AO 110. I want to set it up with a permanent camera attached so I don't have to keep putting it on and removing it...
Infinity corrected. Never used an E200 or a 110 (I only have a 10 and a 4) but as the objectives and eyepieces used are the same on a 110 and a 10 I would say...
Thanks Steve It only comes with it sounds like it is worth considering. Dan ... From: Steve Neeley <psneeley@...> To: Microscope@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi ALL, I rarely post, but I need to add that microscopy requires a lot of "messy ol' chemicals and cultures" and more equipment if one is serious. Astronomy...
... It's cheesy, and the optics suck (at least the QX3, I haven't seen the QX5), BUT 1) It's easy to get an image 2) It's easy to _capture_ an image - or even...
We could sure use some drum majors and news wire service a conference call on a slow news day to the press every week or four that tells our story. In short...
Hi Stephen, if I had the prism out I would cement them. I am not real sure what I would use for cement. Loading the epoxy with a lot of very fine wood flour...
If you were a newspaper editor, what story would you tell? My point was, and still is that if you want to see some interest in microscopy in the world at...
What is the going price for a new Olympus BX-41 with eyepieces, Plan 4x, 10x, and 40x objectives, binocular head, set up for brightfield? How much does...
David, I will depend on the condenser and lighting system. If it is a 2 objective student scope they usually don't do will with higher powered objective ...
And a vehicle to go where the lights aren't. And the strength and youth to handle a Celestron 8" SC or larger. I did the stars and planets in my youth. Now...
It's a three objective student scope. 3.5X, 10X, and 44X. Does that make a difference or would I still have a problem with lighting. Thanks for the Help David...
Well Hey back to you, I am 63 and 120lbs of asymmetrical weight is more than I want to handle. Especially when I want to have fun. Write me again in 10 years...
All seriousness aside, I bought a roll around case for mine. I take a portable sawhorse, put the top of the case on it next to the tripid and it's just a...
Those are better scopes than the two objective ones. If it has a high n.acondenser 0.9 or higher it should do fair. If you can borrow a 100x objective from ...
I just got an Old Carl Zeiss Monocular POL scope and it is beautiful. However, the red order plate is missing. Where can I get one that fits the slot below...
A job I was doing a while back required the use of a text editor under Linux and I was told once I got use to vi I would love it. Never did get use to it, I...
Hi my name is Mal I don't think I have ever posted on this group, but I have been monitoring for at least a year or more. I am the pres. of an astronomy group...
I didn't read all the posts before replying so I have two more comments. I am 63 and I have a 50# tripod onto which I have an 80# mount, a55# telescope and 60#...
