Re: A marine diatom with oblique lighting
Hi Louise, there is no plugin required to post images from postimage and the service is free. I also still have all the original images saved offline in case the service stops.

Re: How to take measurements of things under the microscope?
Micam 2.4 has a system for setting up measurements for each objective by taking images of a stage micrometer with each objective then calibrating the image. Once setup, using Micam to take measurements is simply a matter of picking which objective was used to take the image. https://i.postimg.cc/FHq...

Re: Stacked pictures come out Cartoonish
Make sure you don't stack images from below the halfway point of the subject and that you have the correct order of images, either from the top down or bottom up (middle) (depending on which order you took the images) in the settings.

Re: Two Microscopes: Which one to buy?
As far as I can see there are no Bresser dealers in Australia. :cry: Also dark-field microscopy is not a difficult or expensive technique, just the addition of dark-field stops under the condenser. The stops can be made by hand with a felt tip pen and some clear plastic. Better of course with the ad...

Re: Image Stacking Questions
It doesn't do anything with the parts that are out of focus. It 'copies' the parts of the images that are 'in' focus and combines those 'in focus' parts into a new image.

Re: Moss?
Maybe it's just sugar, water and some colouring and not honey at all. I don't think you can filter pollen grains out of honey and still have a product that you could sell at a profit.

What a strange thought. Maybe we should let those pesky microbes have their freedom to do as they (want? will !!!) and let Covid, Dengi, Sars etc, have the freedom to do as they see fit. Wolves will lick your hand, bears will eat your food (and probably you) and bacteria will dissolve your flesh. Li...

Horror of horror's, it's bad enough seeing your finger ends when looking at rocks under the stereo scope. My advise is not to look in great depth at anything that comes from your person.

Platanus is larger than 30um, see here:- https://www.paldat.org/search/genus/Platanus Salix is around 10um see here;- https://www.paldat.org/search/genus/Salix however there are many species which are slightly different in size. It would help if you could say where and when you found the sample.

Hi JodyMusto,

Hi Dave S
Glad you got sorted with the battery adapter is it really a year since you bought the camera?
