I'm really glad to hear it's been doing well for you!

You probably don't want the 63x.

If you have the camera connected to your phone via wifi you can get live view on your phone screen. This of course won't work if you need it to be tethered to the computer at the same time though

0 means it is corrected for no coverslip, which is best in a pretty drastically different set of applications (mostly for reflected light work).

What would you use the screen for during shooting?

a 25x eye piece

This is likely the problem, yeah. That's giving up most of your light while blowing the image up past its resolution.

It is very interesting to read that there are two distinct versions of this adapter. That said, this from the reddit thread "Of course NDPL-1 is a 2X adapter. However, NDPL-2 is actually a 7X adapter, despite being commonly sold as a 2X adapter for Canon cameras! I tested both adapters with my used ...

You could always take the unexciting option of just spending 200ish bucks on a rebel t6.

I wonder if there is a setting on the camera misset or a problem in export. I have a cheap (ish, 50 bucks on amazon) c mount camera and it does need a lot of light, but while it won't produce world class photos it doesn't have this level of artifacting. Nothing to do with needing to spend more I thi...

Looks like a standard '2x' dslr adapter. They work good on some and not so good on others.

Much like Hund Wetzlar, I've seen Will Wetzlar stamped on what look like Chinese scopes. Not surprising as thid has been the trajectpry for almost every second-tier name out there.

The ovjective (or objective+tube lens) produces a focused 'primary image' inside the eyepiece tube. The eyepiece picks it up and magnifies it. If you can put that primary image on your camera sensor you can do what's called direct projection. If your eyepiece isn't doing corrections this can be a ve...

On paper it looks very promising, and I'm really ezcited to see how easy it is to use. It could well be a basis for a very nice and easy imaging system.

It kind of looks like they got reduced to gif-level compression somewhere along the line.

Maybe it's just on my end, but the pictures look to have had some heavy compression done to them at some point along the way.

I had never heard of these--what a delightful microbe! The photos are stunning too.

That's an awfully impressive demo. I wonder how well the stacks would hold up to something done in Helicon or Zerene--my guess is they might be limited to lower resolutions, perhaps even using similar tricks to Hirox or Keyence macroscopes (I don't know if this is actually possible though as I think...

Thid one was an early example of the now-standard 76mm diameter. So almost any modern stand will work.
The eyepieces are non-focusing and non-compensating, and 30mm Nikon compound eyepieces also work on it.

They were built well and sometimes come in at quite low prices, and with darned good optics. Definitely a good target to buy used.

I understand that there may be an option on a particular Nikon model to be able to perform photography via the trinocular port on left/right optical pathways individually, which could then be merged in photoshop or similar. This would be a big advantage for our reporting needs. I've not been able t...

Generally that is what a metallurgical objective is (though they'd also need to tolerate epi illumination).

Video is not a great way to compare these. It really needs to be static images.

Just as a side-note, olympus infinity era photo hardware has the same dpvetail as finite era, right? Does the photomicro L and similar work, or is it a different parfocal length?

For epi DIC I found a mitutoyo 10x m plan apo worked on an Olynpus bh2-uma setup (same thread similar na). But the objective is way too long for the stand so experimentation was limited.

Note fine focus should feel easier than coarse, since you're doing a lot less work for equivalent turning. It might still be OK.
Darn shame about the lamp house--sometimes it's inadequate packing, sometimes it just gets dropkicked somewhere in shipping.

Of what value is it to set up afocal with a smartphone in order to capture the periphery of a 26.5mm f.o.v. Ah, I get what you're saying now. Yeah, that in particular is not a good idea. Since I'm going to be using all SWHK eyepieces for this, I am not sure if it actually will be afocal...Even if i...

What does the longer adapter look like?
It should be totally parfocal at the right height.

No offense Apo but I think you've lost sight of what he's after. The idea is to capture as much of the good FoV as the objective can deliver on this BH2. The nfk photo eyepieces crop those edges, regardless of their stated mag. So (if corrections are to be maintained) afocal is the only way to go. A...

At least the Leitz and Zeiss standard scopes require specificc compensating eyepieces (don't know the im35, might take the same as the standard?). They won't thst well on each other, and non-correcting generic eyepieces will not work well on either. That's assuming you don't have issues with flang d...

Afocal imagining through a superwide eyepiece might work. You'd have to do some hacky modifications to the trinoc port to make it accept a 30mm eyepiece (or whatever diameter?), but once you have the eyepiece in focus in the trinoc port you can image through it with a pancake lens on a dslr (as long...
