Thanks for the instructions about the fuscine.
This palm tree has been right above my window for 25 years, but fortunately we have never had a pollinated eye.

Re: Restored Leitz Großfeld Stereomikroskop TS
Hello. Well, the subject was a little shaky.The images are very sharp and contrasty at 1x but at 2:5x they start to wash out but still very good, and at 4.x they get quite dark and no longer have such nice contrast. At the end I was able to release the spiders safe and sound. IMG_20210217_211000.jpg...

Compensating eyepieces, which implies something about the objective corrections. They might be at the very lea...

Re: Restored Leitz Großfeld Stereomikroskop TS
The two light pathes have an included angle of 15° on this scope. So for photography it is useful to have an angled base with 7,5° included angle. I have made one of these with the 3D-printer but a pencil and CD cover will do. The objectives have some potential for photography as the apertures are ...

Looks nice. Seeing the results of someone else cleaning all the dirt and grime off an old, high-quality microscope is almost as satisfying as doing it yourself, but much less time-consuming.

Hobbys46. Charles. Thank you very much for your valuable information and your time. For the above said I think that for that price I would not risk it especially that I do not have much experience with epifluorescence and for someone like me who does not have access to fluorophore less likely.

Re: Stereoscope leitz??
The Leitz stereo scope finally arrived. It is a very nice and robust equipment but it is also very dirty, the optics are fine, well at least it is without fungus, but very very full of dust. I have already disassembled enough of it, but there is still a long way to go. Let the fun begin! IMG_2021020...
