If a third vote for "inner tub" reflection will help, I will add that vote.

Back in the day we had considerable issues with the same issue and solved it with the flocking.

All the best to everyone,

Re: Need help to rectify this issue with imaging

I agree with Scarodactyl. The inside of the optical tube may be unfinished aluminum. Even if it has been blacked with flat paint there can be a reflection point off of that surface when the light is at the right angle. It can show up as a bright spot. Flocking should help. okay I will try it and po...

Re: Need help to rectify this issue with imaging

You can see how shiny the inside of the barrel is even in the product photo. You probably have flare issues from that. You mean the product is faulty? If No what can I do to reduce the flare? Not so much faulty as inadequately designed. If you get a roll of flocking paper you can line the inside of...

Re: alternatives for a dissecting microscope

Typically for tasks done under the stereo scope people use a 0.5x auxiliary lens to increase working distance and depth of field while putting mag into a more useful range. You might find one allows you to streamline the whole process, and they are not that expensive for the generic chinese stereos...

Re: alternatives for a dissecting microscope

I was using the stereo microscope (at 45X) for dissection. That gave me great precision but it was difficult to manipulate my tools when everything was magnified so much. I have since bought a digital microscope at roughly the same magnification. It allows me to take pictures to a memory card and t...

I also bought a large illuminated magnifyer on a standd. It was only about 3x, with a more powerful loop built into the glass. It was clumsy to use and just added clutter.
Oh okay will keep that in mind, Thank you.

Re: alternatives for a dissecting microscope

A good 10x or possibly 15x folding loupe is extremely useful in the field. I use a Belomo 10x, extremely good value Belarusian loupe. I would never buy a 30x loupe. Even 20x is too much, IMHO. Dim, small field of view, razor thin focus depth. Works better if it has a built-in LED light, but even th...
