Hi Bob, Ref yr last e-mail. I would probably go for the Leitz SM. It's a lot of microscope for the price. But I am somewhat conservative and apart from some...
Greetings! Thanks to Arthur at Roseoptics I now have a hand microtome with an AO 940 microtome knife and I'm looking for sharpening instructions. I've checked...

Hi, Thanks for the interesting responses. There seem to be agreement that a phase ring does not affect resolution when an objective is used for BF. However,...
Hello all, I recently acquired a very nice Nikon 10X Filar EP; one of the benefits with this is a vernier that enable very precise measurement. Does anyone...
Hi Charles, I have used this label of "2nd tier" in my own descriptions of microscope brands. It refers mainly to the company size and market share, not...
Hello, I'm, new to this group. When I was a kid I really liked microscopes and what you can see with them. I recently decided to get back into it and decided...
Ross; Thanks for that... I understand my confusion now. Seems that the formula for an obscured Airy diffraction pattern (in this case, a phase ring in the...

Hi All My 2 cents worth. I have just spent the last 3 hours comparing a Zeiss x40 N.a 0.65 plan achromat with a Zeiss x40 N.a 0.65 Ph2 plan achromat in...

Charles, We don't have the number of Reichart scopes in the US that we do AO, Leitz & Zeiss. I seem to see more reflected light model than transmitted light...
Hi everyone I thought that the phase annulus was located in the back focal plane of the objective (where the diffraction pattern is formed). Therefore would...
William, maybe I was confusing you here, but I was talking 2 different things. A phase lens used in brightfield is not limited in resolution, as it still has...

Yes, any phase telescope from any manufacturer should work. I switch from Leitz to Lomo to PZO and notice no difference. best wishes Mark ... [Non-text...
I have seen mentioned that an annulus 0.71 times the NA of the objective gives full resolution. But most phase annuli are roughly half the objective's NA. In...
