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.

I kept the tick that gave me Lyme disease, made her a nice little home of sticks and dead vegetation and let her gestate her eggs in a peaceful and relaxed envionment. Her larva as they grew to healthy nymphs were a wonder to behold. I used to let them frolick and play in the warm security of my ar...

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.

I have checked all the pages written in Russian and there is no mention of a price for the software, just contact emails if you want more information. (Use google translate does a pretty good job).

It could be that they no longer exist. The only information I could find about the companies using the software is all Russian based and Altami's website has not been updated for at least one year.

Use toupview instead, its free.

Just a thought, have you fully opened the condenser diaphragm?

For an image hosting website try this. It's free and has links for your images to post on various web sites including hotlinks for forums such as this one. (This is what I use). Once your image and link is posted into the forum you can click on it to take you to the full size image on Postimages. ht...

Young people also have problems with merging the images on a binocular microscope. Oliver has a video on one of his channels where he mentions this but I could not find it.

Options, Magnification, select the 4x or whichever one you want to delete and click DELETE.

Edit: By the way there is a help file in the program. Help, Help contents.

That's an old version of Toupview released in 2018.
My version which I downloaded in May is:

Hi JodyMusto,

Hmmmm? Not quite sure how you link image sensor size or image quality to 'Dummy Battery' adapter.

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

I am really interested in your views and pics using the Bresser dark-field condenser, it has been on my wish list for some time now. Looking forward to some pics.

All the previous images taken with a Canon EOS 4000d on a Bresser Science Infinity microscope

See here for darkfield (3) and oblique (2). Rheinberg also works. The filter holder sits under the condenser and is a push fit. The scope comes with a blue filter in the holder. The filters I made myself. Click on the image to go to the postimage website then click again to get the image in full res...

Hi If you buy a scope with semiplan objectives you can not swap out the objectives for infinity objectives. the design of the light path in the scope is different. Optically the field of view that is in focus is wider on infinity objectives than on acromats but that is about it. The price difference...

I visited Kern to look at their microscopes back in 2018. They are not retailers or manufacturers like many others and have no facility's for potential customers. However they were very helpful and did get one of the sales personnel to show us some of the scopes they had available and allow us to tr...

Darkfield condenser. Bresser's Obejctives are like any other manufacturers and can simply be unscrewed. However if you want to have plan infinity objectives you will have to go for the next one up in the range. https://www.bresser.de/Mikroskopie/BRESSER-Dunkelfeld-Kondensor-trocken-Infinity-TFM.html

Downloaded to look at later.

Had to really search for the pollen as it is inside the anthers.
You learn something new every day.
As usual click on the image for a larger view in postimage.org

My father used to tell this story:- To earn money when he was young (14) he used to collect blackberries and sell them to the old folks in the village. One day there was a film at the cinema he wanted to see (Dracula or Frankenstein, I forget which). He had collected a full bowl that he was sure wou...

Walking next to the golf course and found this :-

As usual for a larger image, click on it to go to the postimage website then click again to zoom full size.

Good to know it was a bit confusing.

I have never had a problem with dirty cover glasses even ones that I have used. Soap water and kitchen towel to dry works for me.

yes those German to English translations can be a bit 'trippy'.

I wonder. What is a slow motion head?

according to the artical they say: 'This ample scope in the choice of the illumination is very advantageous, since certain structures of objects are known to be discernible only when struck bv light incident at a definite azimuthal angle and a definite inclination, which are frequently unknown at th...

Hi MicaelG.
If you are looking for narrow beam LED's you can get them down to 15 degrees from Conrad.
See here:-

Must be nice to have access to a scanning electron microscope. You don't say if the SEM is at work or in your back room. Very nice image, I think the flakes are probably pollen kit (maybe coated in gold).
