Re: Hi from uk

It has a turret with 2X & 4X, with both transmitted and incident light, and generic eyepieces work well in it. Rugged and inexpensive is im...

Re: Newbie from Germany
Hi Klaus, An old Leitz I bought for the Grandkids to learn with sucked me into this microscope world. It is way above my head and got me to get a stereo to introduce them until I could get the Leitz fixed up. I hope you enjoy yours & get some good pictures. I have seen on ebay where the Heine Conden...

Re: Color filters
player, I'm a newbie, too. And I also have an interest in filters. As lorez says, colored filters are used to get rid or reduce certain wave lengths of light.

Re: Hi, new boy from SC, USA
Thanks for the welcome. I live in the Piedmont, woods but no fires presently, some deep banked creeks but nothing like the gorges of the Finger Lakes region.
