Re: Zeiss Experts: What Model is This?

With all these choices which standard is the best to get for later upgrades, if money is no object? Zeiss Universal, and cheaper than a WL. I searched EBay for Zeiss Universal and they seem to be very large, which I don't really want. I searched EBay for Zeiss WL and couldn't find any. They have pi...

Re: My New Microscope and need some help

Thank you Rossf. I am happy with the microscope I was able to get. Thank you for the photo tube idea. Thanks 75RR. I was trying the tripod method and it was very difficult trying to get it set up. I could not look down the other eyepiece to search and focus and even though my camera has a viewing sc...

Re: My New Microscope and need some help

Thank you 75RR. Maybe I can put the camera on a tripod looking through the eyepiece until I get a proper head. Would that work? Thank you for the link. I have a lot of reading to do.

Yes, 16 Hobbyst. What are the differences? What does a Zeiss Standard 1 look like and how far do the numbers go?

Re: My New Microscope and need some help

I would like to take pictures of what I see through my microscope. I see some posts where you use a cell phone but I would like to attach my Canon EOS. What are the best options to be able to do this?

Re: Zeiss Experts: What Model is This?

I'm not a Zeiss expert by any means but it looks a lot like mine, which I bought a few weeks ago. They said mine was a Zeiss Standard 15 and the one you pointed to looks very much like it, except mine has a piece between the head and objectives. Here is the discussion: http://www.microbehunter.com/m...

Re: My New Microscope and need some help

I didn't bid on the Zeiss condenser. I'll just stick to what I have until I get to know how to use it. I did get three objectives. Someone recommended Zeiss neofluars and I was able to get some.

Re: My New Microscope and need some help

Thank you Hobbyst46. You are right the objective says 40/0,85 instead of 0,65 and I corrected it above. But it doesn't say Ph3. There are some glass with different colors on them on the slide thing on the back (looks like light blue) and color glass in the round thing on the side. I took it out and ...

Re: New here

Okay, I think this buying used and finding all the pieces is going to cost me. I bought a Zeiss Standard? It's white with an oblong base. It seems to have lighting from both above and below but only two objectives. The objectives are black with 10X on one and 40X on the other and there is room for t...

Re: New here

Okay, even though the American Optical microscopes seem to be plentiful, cheap and lots of parts available, they are infinity microscopes and limits someone to use only American optical parts. Also I only see achromats and plan achromats. So, I will be dropping them from my consideration. I'm now le...

Thank you again for the welcome. G'day Rossf, I have been looking around.

If I get used, I would want something that I can upgrade if this bug is mor...
