Congrats on the new Amscope and all the info. Nice pic also. Looks like you will be busy for a while.

Now that is really good. So clear and sharp. Well done.

Really good focus points. Looks like a Cicada in some ways. Very good image.

Thanks. Got it and it just screws on the bottom. Pretty cool. Nice to have lower power for imaging and viewing.

I bought a 0.5 Barlow for my Amscope SM-DG=2T Stereo scope. Does the Barlow just screw on the bottom of the lens' or do you remove the original bottom lens and replace it with the Barlow. Thanks

Sure looks nice, I have a Amscope Stereo trinocular and love it.

Welcome aboard. Dont worry about the Amscope being made in China. Their great microscopes and will last a lifetime. I have one and love it for imaging and looking though.

This is a image at 10x using my Stereo MS' Cavansite Crystals which are the blue on Stilbrite Crystals. About 14mm tall. Very rare Crystals from Poona India. The blue is Calcium Silicates and a few trace minerals. Hard to image this 3d object. i used 9 focus points and helicon focus and my Canon 450...

Close up of a slice of a Sericho Pallisite meteorite' One can see the iron- nickel matrix and the Olivine stony parts. This meteorite was found in 2017 in Kenya. Believe to be from a class 4 Asteroid. imaged at 25x Canon 450d with my Amscope Stereo. Thanks

I also use my stereo for imaging minerals rocks and meteorites. Nice image and like how you did the scale ruler in the image. Nice

Thanks guys I found linear polarizing filter set on ebay for $10. Many sizes . I thinking about 33mm.

I was going to fool around with polarizing filters. I read a article here but cant find it now. You need 2 I know and turn them to where it looks black. But is their a certain type thats best. Thanks

Nice scopes their. All you need now is a Stereo Microscope. Have fun.

I bought a Amscope stereo trinocular ' it was one of their $375 models with zoom focus. It has been excellent for what I do. Good optics 'good as I will ever need. I know good optics having own Takahashi Telescopes ' Zeiss Binos ect/ Their support has been good also. They are a good buy.

That is a thing of beauty. What type of magnification is used. Thanks

Meteorite from my collection. This was found on 1941 in western Australia at Mount Egerton. Its is a Achondrite ' Aubrite ' They only make up 8% of the meteor's found. They are a stony iron with intergrown enstatite nuggets. The black steaks are Iron- Nickel inclusions. Also these meteorite have the...

Nice job of stacking. I love fossils also all rocks minerals' crystals ' meteorites ect. Thanks for sharing.

That is quite amazing. This is far over my head but I sure do like it. Also your link to your work was just so interesting. The close up's of the larva head are scary. Love all your different microscopes and your explaining how you take images. Thanks for sharing your work.

Welcome. I am new also but have learn so much in a short time visiting here. You have a microscope yet. Their are many here that can help. Amazon has a large selection of decent scopes. Good luck ' Bob

Well the biggest parts are Olvine mix in a iron nickel matrix, But their are many super small parts of other stuff i could never spell. Just goggle Pallisite Meteors and you will see. The sliced samples are Beautiful where you can see the olvine. Thanks for your comments.

My newest sample. 15x stack of 10 images ' used helicon focus' really like it for stacking. This is a stony iron pallisite meteorite one of many found in Kenya in 2017 by 2 villagers looking for their lost Camel' Over a ton was found. Rare to find holes in them.

Thats well done. Thanks for sharing.

Here is a 15x image of one of my new samples of the Famous Sikhote-alin meteor that exploded over southeast Russia in 1947. Notice the Regmaglypts or thumbprint impressions ' this tells that this piece broke off before it exploded . Thanks Sorry for the subject saying meteor. It should have said met...

Pretty cool. Thanks

If you played in the dirt as a kid or plant flowers you know these guys. We called them rolly polly bugs/ They roll up in a ball when touch. Had a heck of a time keeping him straight for the photo shoot. Not much to them really' just a head and legs really. used 20x and stacked 7 images in Zerene st...

Very nice, I assume that is dark field. what power, Thanks

Now that is a great image. Very sharp and much depth. What type of mold spores are they. Thanks
