What is this ?
I recently purchased a Microstar that came with a teaching adaptor and two heads, my question is... What is that box that sits below the head and attachment? And what is it for?

So paint or no paint? Here's a 40X Reichert Planacro, a bit more contrast than the 40X Neoplan

Re: Frankenstar IV
UV addition to the Frankenstar
395nm
10W LED
Which excitation, dichroic mirror and emission filter combo do I need for this wavelength?
I have a spare cube that only has a mirror , so Im thinking of getting some cheap chroma filters and adding it to the cube

Re: Alignment bolts needed
It is unlikely that the AO/Reichert lamphouse has anyyhing to do with Leitz, since the two companies were totally distinct until the merger, then no more Leitz. It is entirely possible that AO used imperial studs on that too. Many of the threads on AO stuff were imperial, although metric fittings c...

Alignment bolts needed
Any idea on what size or type of bolt is used on the rear mirror alignment mechanism found on Leitz, Reichert... Pretty much early 80s late 70s design.? They are practically the same mechanism so they can be transferred from one design to another. The recent acquisition came with the two bolts snapp...

Re: DIY Fluorescence microscopy?
In a first step differentiate between transmitted light and epi-fluorescence. Transmitted light: You need some excitation filter and an analyzer filter. The first under and the second over the specimen. Very much the same as polarization. " I've have very knowledge on this technique, do you know of...
