Still looking through our unidentified fossils. Last week we acquired a collection of fossils from our neighbor. He and his wife collected quite a number of fossils from the Normandy coast over a number of years. While searching through https://www.paleontica.org/ for the previous item I came across...

Just been trolling through our fossil collection of some of the smaller items (kept in a jar) and trying to identify various items. Success on one of them. I have wondered for a long time if this was a tooth of some kind of fish. Images taken from Optica SFX90 with mobile phone camera and trimmed wi...

They claim to be manufacturers !! but I am not totally convinced. I do have one of their scopes and I am very pleased with it (still). Here is the supplier that I bought my scope from when I was at a mineral show in Clausthal-Zellerfeld (where they are based):- https://www.winlab.de/schule/mikroskop...

Optica Italy has a factory outlet with some pretty good sale prices on stereo microscopes. See Here:- http://www.optikamicroscopes.com/optikamicroscopes/product-category/factory_outlet/page/3/ This one SZN-2 was 1062 euro now 341 euro seems to be what you are looking for and is trinocular. http://ww...

You will need a 100x object lens to see the spores and get measurements which you will need for identification.

Yes I would agree definitely a pollen grain.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Sounds to me that you need two scopes, a stereo scope for the artifacts and a trinocular (so you can also take photos) microscope for the mushrooms.

Hi Cellusome
This question and it's variations has appeared many times on this forum, one of which has over 26 thousand views, see the following:-

It may provide you with the answer

Hi John.
I guess it is more of a personal preference and on what one expects to see, as I find the 22mm images to have more detail especially on the un-enhanced images. Still an interesting question and experiment. (I looked at the full set on GP)

Maybe the gunge that was on the glass has glued the glass to the holder.

Hi Antoni welcome to the forum. Parts of the image you have posted look to be in focus maybe you should try stacking the images so that you get all the parts of your slide in focus. There are many focus stacking software programs you could use some of them free. If you search through the forum there...

Gave Shotcut a try and for what I want it is perfect with lots of file formats supported. I have old version of Adobe Premiere Pro which also does the job but does not support the newer versions of movie files.

Many thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up and the link janvangastel. I am downloading it now and will give it a try.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Nice job well done!!!!

Strange "gipsplatte" in English means "plasterboard".

Hi Sarah & welcome

Hi 75rr Perhaps you are correct maybe we shouldn't kill all these microbes there would be a lot less humans on the planet and therefore more non humans, which would of course still die due to those pesky microbes which infect them. My wife say's what do I hope to achieve by this useless discussion a...

We all kill and absorb thousands of microbiological organisms weekly if not daily in our bodies, why worry about a few in a microscope petri-dish? These microorganisms would not care (even if they had the ability to care) if they killed you in the process of their invasion of your corpus. Morals are...

Try this software control for windows 10:-

Hope this helps

Edit: Works fine on my windows 10 laptop.

More from our garden. This plant is on the black list for invasive species in Germany, maybe I should pull it out, only its so pretty (I think I probably have the wrong identification )

Almost run out of flowers but found this one in the forest while looking for mushrooms and interesting stones.

I also have a Bresser Infinity. I used a spare eyepiece and the adapter from my Bresser USB camera to connect my canon DSLR 4000d camera.

Hi John 'Guten Tag'

Hi Bob.

There is indeed many plant studies on this site.

See here for a linked list of all the posts on plant microscopy. A virtual Alladin's cave. From A to Z

HI Bob.
Posts about plant sections seem to get very high numbers of 'views', but I don't think there are many people actually making plant sections. There are not many posts on plants, most seem to be about pond life.

Tigers Eye associated with Hematite.

Hi Gene,

Welcome to the forum. When you decide to sell your extra scopes why don't you give the members here a 'heads up'.
