Re: I did not expect to get this

Thanks, I think I do. I tried some slides yesterday and I see better details than the COIC, thanks to the aplanatic achromat.

Hi guys, I was browsing in my beloved german kind of craiglist and stumped upon this. Well he was like 2 states away from me and offered pickup only so I thought I would pass it. However he stated the price can be lowered and I was like why not and offered him 600. He said sure, who comes first will...

Objective with no cover glass number

Hi,
I have two 10x plan objectives, one has 160/0.17 and one has 160/-. I wonder why the second has no cover glass number? Can it be used with a range of number like 0.15-0.20 with good result?

Re: I'm looking for 4x finite plan objective

Thank you very much for all of your replies, I got 2.5x Zeiss instead of 4x. I did get a plan 4x before and my 4x was the cheapest 4x plan you can find on ebay, I think it was 13.5 EUR included shipping. It came loose in a box from saga optics. And as you guys can imagine, the planarity is horrible ...

Re: LWD objective on 0.18 cover slip slide.

I use a meiji 2.5x photo eyepiece. Oh, there's your problem. I don't know what compensation meiji uses in their scopes, but Zeiss used about the strongest compensations of their era. The correct Zeiss eyepiece is vital to getting good photos since they are delicately matched with thr objectives to ...

Re: LWD objective on 0.18 cover slip slide.

The Plan 2,5 is quite a nice objective, see here: https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de/index.php?topic=39220.0 The image in the link is better than I would have thought possible with a single shot and this objective. But this doesn't happen by itself. The usual condensers are not really optimized for t...

Is that made with a 2,5:1 objective? And is it a plan objective?
Yeah, it is a Zeiss plan 2.5:1 objective with Meiji 2.5 photo eyepiece.

Re: LWD objective on 0.18 cover slip slide.

If the eyepice is parfocal when sitting in the photo port it won't project an image on you sensor up there. When you lift it up ca. 10mm you might get parfocality. Bob I raised it about 5mm and got these, look better but I think I expected more from it. https://i.imgur.com/eAFhghs.jpg with 10x obje...

Re: LWD objective on 0.18 cover slip slide.

Thanks a lot, I will get the correct 20x or 25x and put this on sale. I still have a question. I got an eyepiece thanks to mrsonchus. It is parfocal when I look through the photo eyepiece and the binocular, however when I put my camera with the adapter on it, it will be out of focus and the edges ar...

LWD objective on 0.18 cover slip slide.

Hi, I just started and made a silly problem. Instead of buying a finite 20x 160/0.17 I bought a finite LPL LWD 25x 160/1.5. What is the compromise of using this instead of the one for 0.17 cover slip? My intention is using it to capture crystal on slide, watch some dyed slide or slide without cover ...

Re: Issue with 2x and 1x objectives

If you plan to use only dry objective, consider getting the achromat swing out or better. I dont know if CH2 has the same dovetail condenser like BH2, but if it does, you can use the swing out achromat to light up the 2x. I am not sure about the 1x since they are rare and expensive, so others can sp...

Re: Should I buy Bresser Biolux NV or National ss110 OR swift sw200dl or amscope 40-1000 Binocular Microscope

The NV is a toy with non DIN objectives so you should not get into it. If you want a toy for your kid for cheap, get the AL which is the same but used for like 20-25 EUR. :D The Swift 350T is fine, only a few euro more or if you can stretch more a little, you can get 380T. Or if used is no problem, ...

The manufacturer is Chongqing Optical Instrument. It has no lens and since I have some plans lying around, I just put them in. The condenser has a swing out.

An unknown chinese microscope for a newbie

Hi, I'm a newbie in microphotography. I was trying to find a trinocular microscope so that I can take photo with and almost bought a Swift 380T. However, I saw this in that auction side and thought it was well built so why not. 20201026_121801.jpg The package came today and the scope is 12kg :lol: ....
