Thank you all for your comments. My takeaway message is that I will go back to my original setup with a Canon M50 which is used for other purposes too. I just need to do some post processing (croping) on the pictures to get the image section I need with the existing 1x adapter. https://www.microbehu...

Hello, I am looking for a microscope camera for a Zeiss Axiovert 25CFL Microscope that is already equipped with a 1X C-Mount Adapter(1108-963). I would prefer a permanent mounted USB camera over a DSLR solution. The main purpose will be florescent microscopy with 10X A-Plan Objective. I already play...

I received the EX485/20X excitation filter. By looking without any fluorescent specimen the image of the lamp disappeared but I still saw blue background. So I ordered a new beam splitter 500 DCLP and an emission filter 515 EFLP. Will keep you posted hopefully with nice pictures soon. thanks, highbeta

I was able to find a Chroma ET485/20x FITC Excitation Filter Ring Mounted CWL 485 nm BW 20 nm D 25mm for a decent price. As soon as I get it and test it, I will post the results.

Thanks for the the hint with the Omega shop.

Thanks for you response, doing some batch post processing should not be a big deal. Since an overlay of brightfield and flourence pictures will be done anyway. I will have to work on the overall workflow anyway. Just out of curiosity, the optimal magnification for an APS-C sensor would be 1.6x, corr...

I need some help to adapt a Canon EOS M50 (APS-C sensor with 22.3 x 14.9 mm) to an Zeiss Axiovert 25 CFL Microscope. A Zeiss V25 1.0x C-Mount video adapter (1108-963) came already with the microscope. Adapting the camera with a simple EF-M to C-mount adapter works not great because the poor sensor u...

Thanks a lot for that information. I think have to bite the bullet and invest into a new filter or even a set to be sure that everything fits together. The current filters came together with the microscope. I do not know, if this is still the original setup from 2002 or was replaced at some point. T...

All, I have problems with a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss Axiovert 25 CFL) looking at GFP fluorescing cells. I see a lot of background light and can even see the mercury lamp arcs. Please see attached pictures, unfortunately the background noise isn't captured good by the camera, but it is there wh...

All, I am looking for a fluorescence microscope to be used for cell culture. I identified the ZEISS Axiovert microscopes as a good workhorse. Does someone have information about the difference between the Axiovert 25 CFL and a Axiovert 40 CFL? From pictures I do not see any significant difference, b...

Hi All,

I wonder if one of you guys can help me with a manual for an Olympus CK/CKP/CKC?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, I contacted Alan and he confirmed that he does not have a manual for the old Olympus CK/CKP/CKC Microscopes yet.
I will keep looking.

Thanks,

Thanks Kirby,
I will keep my eyes open.If I am successful I will provide the manual to Alan Wood's collection.

Hi Kirby,

I know that great site very well, but unfortunately there is no no original CK manual.

I attached a cover of the manual that I am looking for.

Thanks,

Hello, I received an old Olympus CK inverted microscope with phase contrast. I am new to microscopes and I would like to understand more about the details. Does someone have the instruction manual for that type? I did some research already to find it but I was not lucky with that particular model. T...
