Hi everyone, I've been a member of this group for a while and read all the posts even though I dont post much myself. I am curious to know how many members of...
Tim There are quite some (ex-)pro's in this group allright, I myself work in plant virology. However, that's surely not the reason why a lot of discussions are...
... I'm a pure amateur, but I think that an amateur also may collect a deep culture in a technical branch and a good set of professional instruments. In...
Dear Rene, I am quite interested in your experience and photos, since I am involved in servicing a similar mechanism from Zeiss, and I could get some...
I have to agree with Rene, while a lot of people in this group have worked with microscopes profesionally, I think most of their theoretical or technical...
Hey Tim! FYI - I am an amateur that does work with microscopes for a living - however it is just with phase contrast and transmitted light and NOT with the ...
Hello, I've been reading this group for sometime and noticed that Edmunds scopes are hardly ever mentioned. I own two of them and am quite happy with them. ...
Torino 01 October 2003 (ITALY) Hi all, I wonder if someone knows or uses the "Brunel Rocking Microtome". http://www.brunelmicroscopes.co.uk/microtomy.html My...
I put some photos in briefcase http://it.briefcase.yahoo.com/darkfield2001it If it works for all users, I'm going to delete the Zetopan's fluor folder. Please...
OK, it sounds like there is some interest :) I'll put something together in the next week or so. I encourage everyone to take their microscopes apart and take...
... I just took a look at your photo of your fluorescence Zetopan. It does not look at all like the Zetopans that I have seen listed on ebay. Is there a ...
Pellegrino, It works just fine. No problem whatsoever in accessing your pics. Btw, I have never seen a Zetopan in real life, but it sure looks like a fine...
... on ... Thanks Frez! Maybe we should ask Sony to create a new category for micro pics. At the moment I have my imagestation set to "wildlife" and "general"....

Pelligrino - A beautiful Zetopan. The cream colored Zetopan was always my favorite. The black and grey versions were nice, but the cream color was so...
Yes, I bought the phase one on ebay and the fluorescence one by a private auction with Sean Boushie (there was an advice on this group too) in the last 6...
Hi, I'm both -- when I have time! I'll tell you this, being an amateur microscopist can be a slippery slide. I am a microbiologist - medical technologist who...
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm very interested on your suggestion on a more effcient use of my Kodak MDS 100 camera: the fluorescence real images are...
... on a more effcient use of my Kodak MDS 100 camera: the fluorescence real images are far better than my photos. Also, I have discontinous results: some...
Tim, This is a form that is mostly for amateurs. There are people from every level of knowledge here. There are no stupid questions but the ones you fail to...
Now that I have the phase objectives on the Standard, the annuli in the condenser don't all seem to line up with the objective annuli. The 40x apo in...

If the phase rings are the correct rings for the condenser it makes no difference which microscope the condenser is used on. Zeiss did have differennt sized...
The Zeiss APO 40x .95 is proving to be a fine objective. The correction collar is a bit stiff, but does move smoothly. The problem is accessing the collar...
Hi Everyone, Thanks for your responses. They were all interesting to read. By the way Rene, apart from the obvious, what does a plant virologists job consist...
Dear Chas, I think Bob Brewer has answered your question. The ring size can only be wrong if you have the wrong top lens in your condenser or if somebody put...
Hi I am a complete newcomer. But I hear and read so much of darkfield condensers etc. Now then, could I make a pseudo darkfield if I glue a black disk onto a...
Hi Tim, This Group is blessed with a blend of members from beginners to professionals. Many of the ongoing discussions may be over your head now, but will...
... which ... That was a good question. 1$ to you. Start by using different sized coins. A penny would be a good 1st try. You can tack it in place with...
