Thanks. I will then dismount clean it and I can get it measured/scanned with a CMM (measuring machine) to check the teeths dimemsions.

Thanks Michael,

How do you suggest to do it ? Just a brush ?

Dismounting the rack for a better cleaning and remounting could be critical? I am afraid i will not be able to align it again as before.

Thanks

HI, I have the following issue with my Leica DMLS microscope : if I hold the stage control knob and then wiggle it, in a specific position of the stroke, I see that the stage vibrate (and because of the magnification through the lens, I get an annoying vibration of what I see through the eyepiece )....

Thanks. nice documents. I guess my set up is the one called "3) "Direct projection"" in the first document

It is just the distance between the eyepiece and the camera body. I need the space for the ring (adaptor Fuji to M42) which is about 25mm. Ps: being a beginner...I had a very practical approach: before designing the adaptor, i placed the camera on a tripod and moved it back and forth from the eyepie...

Hi 75RR

Yes, with the 6 screws you should theorically be able to vary the distance.
However, as the microscope works as a camera lens, i just use the focus knob rather then changing the position of the camera. I think the effect should be the same?

Thanks Hans, yes the Leica DMLS has an halogen lamp that gives a yellowish illumination. I have never bought the blue filter and I have just processed that image to remove the yelllowish colour. I will try as you suggest to set the white balance to manual. But I am little bit puzzled :.. can this im...

I have tried also the self timer but no further improvement. Hans, you are right ..Live view and pictures i get are pretty close now. I am only frustrated from the quality of what i can get, despite all the efforts, compared to what i see in the different SN and forum😂 . I am probably only envious 😂...

Hi All, I have upgraded the firmware of my Fuji X-E2 to Ver. 4 and I have set the shutter to electronic mode. Final result is much better ! Still not as sharp as I would like to get, but I think this is an acceptable result. Any advice to further improve the image sharpness (of course a part from im...

Hi Hans, Viktor

Thanks ! I have read the same info right now and I will definitely upgrade the firmware to get e-Shutter. Let's see if i can get sharper images!

Thanks. I do not think vibration is the issue. It is a mirrorless camera that should generate minimum vibration

Hi All,

can anybody help me to understand why I get the pictures out of focus with my camera Fuji Mirrorless and the above descriped adaptor, even if on the display of the Mirrorless camera they looks pretty in focus ? I get the same indipendently from the shutter speed and ISO settings .

Thanks

M.

My next step to improve the adaptor....is there a way to make it parafocal ?

Thanks Michael, All for the help given here in this forum !!

Eventually I had some time to finish my small project for an adaptor 3D printed to adapt my Fuji Mirrorless camera to the Leica microscope. Some summary that may helps other beginners like me, with no competence on mechanical design and 3D Printing. Please note these are advices from a begineer to b...

I have made a similar comparison : 1) Smarthphone (Samsung S8): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_zXMd5Ydgx71EYVoEW8ZHob8PXYRxtT9 2) Fuji X2 Mirroless camera with 18mm lens and Microscope (infinity corrected) with eyepiece 10x: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NnBcdpLu658litGHE_uZ-bMrikV_A7Tw 3) F...

Well, Autodesk fusion was a great hint! Pretty intuitive even for those like me that made mechanical drawing last time at secondary school

After 10 min of youtube training in Autodesk..my first 3D drawing ! ) Well, still a lot to refine and not sure if the threads are right.

Thanks. Very much appreciated your support ! Your sketch is clear..and i have 28mm tube, so enough space to have 2 lines of M4 screwes. Now...just a couple of youtube training of autodesk fusion and I will start to draw. :D One more question: does it make sense to have it turned from alluminium or 3...

[/quote] I suggest you make your tube physically longer, and use two sets of three screws ... There appears to be room to do this, and it should increase stability. MichaelG. [/quote] Thanks Michael, It makes sense. The Fuji xe2 is just 300g (+ adaptor) but the cantilever position could make the set...

Autodesk Fusion 360 (It's free). https://www.autodesk.com/campaigns/fusion-360-for-hobbyists# Thanks Roldorf, at the end I just need to draw a tube, a m42 thread and 3 threaded holes for the screws ... hope it will be not too difficult :D : Ps: i am a little bit concerned that the screws will scrat...

Yes , sorry. However a normal eyepiece for my infinite microscope is enough, right ? I have used it and the image looks pretty ok.

I have modified the subject to correct the error. Thanks !

HI, I am trying to desing an adapter to connect my Fuji mirroless XE2 camera (without lens) to my Leica DMLS microscope (binocular !) . I am at beginning of my learning curve in microscopy and with limited competence in mechanical drawing.. any help/advise is welcome ! . Below a sketch how I think i...

Sorry, i realize now i posted in the wrong section ! Not sure if the administrator can move it to the right section or if i have to cancel it... Thanks Michael, Actually no effort is required. It looks like if there is some loose screw somewhere or the rack and pinion do not fit perfectly/ not perfe...

Hi, As you can see in the video I see some micro-movements when I move the stage control. Any idea ? Rack and pinion issue ? Any idea to solve it ?

Thanks Michael.. ! I read also again what Bob was writing above :
"If you can define the distance by experiment and supply the threaded ring that connects to the camera objective a machinist will quickly be able to turn the rest from a piece of aluminium of POM."

Nice hint ! Thanks ! Very cheap ..so it is definetly worth to try. Just i feel it will be not that easy to build the adaptor down to the inner (or outer? ) diameter of the eyepiece (from 37 to 30 mm). Being a binocular microscope the adaptor should be stiff enough to keep the weight of the camera (t...

Hi Michael, Thanks all to be so supportive.. I am probably too much perfectionist ..but the fact i can not get the quality i want drive me crazy ))...or maybe it depends on the fact i am locked down in my house in Italy ? :) :) Inner 30 mm : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X3EcnqbdZMqYHSC9WgPulvJYZ...

Hi Rolford, I am right now trying as you suggested : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X-I1DMB7aOuMst9PLHgrVMTyYU2O2zPt/view?usp=drivesdk This is what i get , with 18mm lens (35mm crops the image), focus infinity, iso 200: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WyiwVU-dNY89pdB-EW3M5FItv_HncJW9/view?usp=dri...
