Re: OLYMPUS BH‐2 ELECTRONICS
Thanks a bunch for that update.
I know that the 100 Watt version found on the BHS is different. Do you know a source of similar information for that model?
Thanks
Bill Davis

Re: MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE IN BEGINNERS CORNER but....
CE - Wondering why "NC objectives totally rule out a lot of higher magnification specimen observing."

Microscope/Cel phone camera holder. Any recommendations?
As my first entry into the protography end of microscopy and having low to mild success handholding the camera to the eyepiece, I think my next step to consider is one of those gizmos to hold the cel phone steady. Who here has used one or more of these and might be free with your recommendations of ...

Re: Advice about possible Bh2 purchase please

The second BH2 is a BHT model with a 20 Watt halogen lamp. The 3rd which has been robbed for parts is a BHTU model. One of them ...

Re: How to remove old tape glue
WD40 is basically mineral spirits/paint thinner with a small amount of lubricant and some other proprietary ingredients.
My first go to would be mineral spirits partly cuz have some laying around in the wood shop.

I bet if you sliced a cross section of those you would find a burl grain.
Highly desired by many woodworkers for its beauty. Especially in larger pieces which can be made into something that displays the burl pattern.

Well again I stand corrected on how most illuminator PSs are made. And a disadvantage of the way I made my PS is it is heavy - a little over 7 lbs.
