Amazing!

Nice clean image … What did you do to improve the illumination? MichaelG. Thank you! All what i did is just a changed my stupidity really, all that time i left one extra piece on the condenser that narrowing the light path, i thought that is non removable and i thought maybe the scope has to be cha...

Hi all, I did it finally, almost i fixed the issue with illumination for my microscopy imaging, i can't say it is perfect now, but it is a big difference now than before, this way i can enjoy doing more imaging for better results. So, i post for you a nice plant sample, "Tilia Stem", I really like i...

Beautiful work //KD

Thank you!

While i am having a long nap or coma from astrophotography so i decided i will return back to microscopy again, nothing new just more samples i have, plants samples in specific. Equipment details: Microscope ofcourse ZWO ASI178MC oaCapture [on Mac], Autostakkert, Registax, Photoshop CC Samples names...

Here is one of those samples

The oil immersion objectives are useful if you want bacteria to be your focus. They are likely more trouble than they are worth for looking at amoebas, worms, ciliates, rotifers, essentially all those pond creatures. A difficulty may be in your samples Air conditioner water is distilled, so it migh...

It is really very difficult, i am using 20x eyepieces, i do have 10x eyepieces too, and honestly speaking, i could never see anything moving with that 10x EP even with 40x objectives which is not good enough and need to be cleaned maybe or modified, while using 20x i can barely see something moving ...

... many say go bring pond water, in fact i don't get that anywhere and even if i don't like to collect water from there by myself, but i was thinking maybe if i can find something around my house, or even in my garden, maybe trying plants samples at least although i really wanted to see something ...

Well everyone should have a lemon tree. It's the best little tree-- I built a whole greenhouse just for mine. Well, my garden is small, and i live in very hot climate, but i do have few trees, lemon, almond, mango, pomegranate, berry kind of and something else i don't know, just i don't take care o...

If you have a handful of dirt you should be able to look at a great number of things. You might even find the reason your lemon tree is wilting!

How did you know that i have a lemon tree?!!!

For now, i think i will forget about the lighting issue for a while, but i should start about preparing few samples at least simple one and test them, it will be so thrilling to make samples by myself, i remember once or twice i made samples from blood [my daughter], expired banana juice, and i thin...

Thank you very much all for those kind words, i appreciate it. Well, i did buy few objectives that i don't believe it but i bought it which says "Plan" on it, and surprisingly, it is way "Heavier" than the stock objectives that came with the microscope, but i won't hold much hope on those to give me...

Hey all, It has been a while since i used my microscope, last year was interesting or before that, but this year it was like i barely touched my microscope, maybe only once or twice. I am feeling like i am no longer interested in microscopy because i can't afford a better one and i am not only spend...

Microscopical life forms from the environment are far more diverse and amazing that those that come from body fluid. Leave your body out of this game and save yourself unnecessary concerns about your health. Need not look into sewers, either. Every sea shore, any lake, any stream, any pond in the p...

Hi Tareq, Did you clean the slide and coverslip before using them? Either, or both look contaminated to me. Hope this helps. Peter. Hi Peter, to be honest, i only cleaned the slide, but i used new coverslip because i have so plenty of it, wasn't doing things serious so didn't want to through slides...

I also had this once and I thought it was blood (blood sample on the slide). But it was just dirt on the cover slip. Even dirt can look nice under a microscope. Ah ok, because honestly i couldn't see those at all until i used 40X objective honestly, if i used 4x or 10X those will be very tiny more ...

You have a severe case of chromatic aberration

Sorry I can't say anything useful...

Almost recovered, no need for a doctor anymore

CE

My saliva [if that was a correct word], i mean from my mouth.

I still want to know how someone connect their Canon/Nikon cameras either full frame or crop factor bodies and having the full view of the slide? i tried and it is only showing a circle of the sample in the middle, it is like the camera didn't enter or get much much closer to the sample, i really d...

Hi all,

Anyone has any idea about what is this i see on this image?

Thank you very much

Quite impressive, good work.

Here is my setup

I will post my setup soon once i take images.

Hi all again, I do have problem connecting my full frame cameras to my microscope, i always get that circle like fisheye effect and not wide-field filling the frame one, so how to solve this? Also, the illumination light doesn't spread the light uniform, i really don't know what is the method to avo...

Reply wit your new finding out, let us know, and show examples please, i was planning to buy a Phase Contrast kit, but if it won't help much then i won't bother to buy one.

apochronaut wrote:I sent you a p.m. There is a set of very high quality plan objectives in Asia, that should work on your microscope. Very good deal, since they were over $1000.00 when new.

Thank you very much for your P.M., i already replied to you, i will see what i can decide.

No, just darkfield filter
