This afternoon I took a break from a long editing job I've been doing and took a few pictures and videos of living bacteria in a Vaseline prep. I used the...
Interesting images Don. I presume the main point you are making is about necessary lighting adjustments. Are the dark spots inclusions in the bacteria? Also,...
I have a selection of pictures with different filters. This one showed more internal structure than the others. I will have more time soon -- I hope -- to take...
Hi all, and thank you, When I say "personal Dic Prism", in fact I have some old Nikon Nomarski Prism from an labophot 1 and Olympus scope prisms in stock. One...
Dear group, this publication has been referenced by the group recently, and I have just discovered that it has been made available to read via the internet. ...
Hi again, I have just looked at all the pictures I made yesterday and another dozen or so made a few minutes ago. I used the phase contrast green filter, a...
Hi Don, As always, your shared images and comments are very much appreciated. A general question: how do you feel the white LED illuminator compares with your...
Hi there, Eric (et alia), I've now managed to get a copy of the diagram of the FSA ray paths to behave as a JPEG (it kept shrinking to a microdot!!) and I've ...
Hello all, I just picked up an Nikon AFM and need a manual. Does anyone have one they could make a photocopy for me? I will pay any/all costs and a reasonable...
This group has really helped me a lot! You're GREAT! Where can "off-brand" high-magnification eyepieces that are 23mm diameter, and are designed for 160mm...
The white LED seems to give me as much light as I need and there is no flicker in the video clips. I'm wondering now if my plans to use other colours will be a...
I recently acquired 4 American Optical binocular scopes: 1 AO 10, 1 AO 150, and 2 Cycloptics. Each of them has the well-described adjustable ocular to correct...
Hi Mike. I asked the same question a few weeks ago. You might like to read the responses I got. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/37554 ...
Hello Cynthia, Thanks for your response; it doesn't appear as though you got much (if any) feedback on the manuals, hope something shows up for you soon. The...
Steve: What you need to do is focus a sample on the highest dry objective you have available (or, in the case of the Cyclops, the highest mag on the zoom ...
... This is not an answer, but... Eyepieces greater than 20x are uncommon. Generally one varies the magnification of the microscope by changing the objective....
POL objectives are strain free, so that when used in their normal position between the polarizer and the analyzer of the microscope they do not introduce...
Hi all, I posted some phase photos of what I think is Frontonia in my photo section here. http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/photos/browse/d6bb I...
Many thanks. As usual, knowing what you are doing makes it easier to do it. Steve K. Eldon Granier <NOslapshot@...> wrote: Steve: What you need to do is...
This may not be the reply you do wish, but I believe that: your looking for high eyepiece magnification is a big mistake. Microscopes have usually two kind of...
Many mounths ago, I asked what the 30 degree mark, that was on the polarizer was for, no one then came up with anything. I have by chance found what it might...
Mike, I may have one at home. I don/t have time to scan the manual, but I will make you a copy. I just have to remember to look for it and copy it. Send me a...
... Hi Pete, Thanks very much for the FSA diagram showing the light paths. I'm wondering if my 'double vision problem' (left eyepiece image much lower than...
Eric, The item in the picture is a camera shutter. You can tell because the dial has shutter speeds, and there is a spot for the cable release. This is an...
Thanks Jim, Charla Mason kindly sent a photo of the 'real' Ortholux field diaphragm. Now that you mention a camera shutter, I'm embarrassed that I didn't...
... Whatever the heck it is (probably a photo accessory), it is not the field iris that inserts into the base of the Ortholux. Looks like the seller was just ...
