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.

Royal palm tree pollen.
I put them with a drop of glycerin and a coverslip.

Beautiful diatoms!.
Thanks you.

Impressive !!!
Thanks for sharing!

My favorite, Always used them

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...

Looks wonderful. Thanks you sir. IMG_20210216_132435.jpg That is a beautifully restored instrument. If my eyes are not deceiving me, it looks like there is a yellow band at the field stop. Compensating eyepieces, which implies something about the objective corrections. They might be at the very lea...

Nice work! It looks totally transformed. Would love to see more pics, such as a photo of an insect perhaps!

Thanks for your kind words .
I will gladly be looking for a striking specimen to photograph and know your opinion.... tomorrow is hunting day.
Maybe some spiders.

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 wonderful.

Thanks you sir.

Looks almost new. What is the little clamp thing on the left side of the mounting ring used for? Hello hans. Thanks you. It is a clamp to place lights and it can be moved around the silver ring where you want to direct the lighting. IMG_20210216_110559.jpg But I have one drawback, and that is that ...

MicroBob.
Thanks you kindly.

Well...hello again. Here are my brand new refurbished Leitz Großfeld Stereomikroskop TS . It was a real fun, a pleasure and a good fortune that this beautiful German engineered optical instrument crossed my hands. I tried my best...Smooth and shiny and giving me some rather pleasant images. IMG_2021...

Hello.

NPL phaco 25x

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. Hans Thank you very much for your interest. The truth is that I am leaving it very nice and clean. Fortunate...

Today I finally got to the prisms...no fungus or mold, the optics are impeccable.
Tomorrow to assemble and put it all together.

Updated. Still much to do...

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. I thi...

Best regards. I am interested in buying this ZEISS MICROSCOPE...but I have no knowledge of its performance and configuration. If it is complete or missing parts. If you would be so kind as to enlighten me as to its usefulness to which technique is configured and if it corresponds to the retail value...

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...

... I will try it with my Zeiss Amplival mirror, is quite damaged and see what happens, it would not be like a first Surface mirror, because you have to protect the silver surface with a lacquer or a paint that protects it because it comes off very easily then it would be left behind ... but at lea...

MicroBob.
What a lovely work.
Beautiful diatom.
Thanks you

Hi, I can't help, but can you explain in a bit more detail how the silvering is done? This might help to restore some people's microscope parts. Bob I am sending a link with the instructions to perform the chemical silver plating. [youtube]https://youtu.be/w9ptDqjEdoQ[/youtube] As explained by hobb...

good one!
