greetings, Oliver

Hello, first of all, great pictures. Microscopy alone often does not provide enough information to identify something down to the species level. And: due to the large number of yet unclassified microorganisms, it is not even unlikely that you are dealing with a new species. The typical spiral shape ...

I was just wondering if the forum still works, because there are few posts for some days. (I will remove this thread anyway)
Oliver.

this is a test post

Hi, I myself have a USB 3 Toupcam (5MP). I was/am experiencing trouble connecting it with USB 3 speed, it will often connect only with USB2 speed. It is probably a driver problem. I wrote an article about it here: http://www.microbehunter.com/microbehunter-magazine-issue-53/ The camera itself is fin...

Hello, but has the apology/explanation been edited above - I still can't really understand what is meant by it I have removed a few lines, which I consider best to be left out, and included [... removed by admin ...] at this place. I request that private issues are left out of the public forum. Exce...

Dear forum members, I have removed a complete thread and would like to explain the reason. Yesterday a forum member posted polarized light images of crystals and it turned out that these images belonged to another member. The poster denied having plagiarized these images and the response from other ...

Hello, I think the microscope I had ordered and cancelled 2 weeks ago had all those requirements, can you confirm this? From a first quick glance, it does seem to have these features, but the choice of a microscope (especially if used for hobby purposes) can, in my view, not only be limited to the f...

Dale, In issue 50 of the magazine, I reported about putting a CD ROM lens in front of an iPad camera. I did not glue it on. I would probably try to glue the lens to a microscope slide (on the side) using silicone and then somehow hold the slide in front of the camera. But the slide increases the dis...

I am also running Windows 10, and generally am satisfied, but I experience some (driver ?) problems with my microscope camera. I do not know if this is Win 10 specific though. Specifically, the USB 3 microscope camera sometimes connects with USB 2 speed, and I have not figured out why. There is the ...

Dear Forum Members, Several people had problems sending Private Messages (PM). 1. I updated the Forum software to the newest version yesterday. This was probably not the reason, but I mention it for sake of completion. 2. The maximum number of PM was limited to 100 messages. All further messages are...

edit your post and include a line that says that the product has been sold. keep the original text for reference, but add a line. deleting of posts directly is not possible, as this would disruot the thread. oliver.

posting pm is automatically enabled after about 10 or so posts were made. This is a spam prevention.
Oliver.

Hello,
1. I have removed the link to the external site.
2. Can you please introduce yourself? What microscope are you using?

I suspect spam.
Oliver.

The forum settings are that you need 3 (three!) posts until you become a regular user and are allowed to post private messages. Does it work now for you?
Oliver.

Hello,
I have added a new Sub-Forum called Techniques. Here you can post messages relating to different microscopic techniques, such as Phase Contrast, DIC, etc.

Some more information about the onion plasmolysis experiment. This is a common demonstration experiment in schools. The experiment is educationally valuable for several reasons. 1. It shows that the cell itself actually does not shrink. The cell wall of the onion cells do stay the same and no not ca...

Hello, Long term observation projects are risky, if something goes wrong, then the whole data becomes useless and you wasted a lot of time. For a fourth grade student (primary school), you need a simple experiment that can be repeated easily and one which gives quick results and pictures which are v...

Hello!
I have added a new forum category called "Digital Processing". In this category you can talk about all issues relating to (computer-based) image processing, such as focus stacking and other image enhancing methods etc.
All the best, Oliver

Dear Forum members, This is a truly very active forum! The statistics say that there are about 40 new posts every day and 5 new topics started. Currently the database holds about 18089 posts in 2197 topics. Considering that the new forum has been up an running for not much more than one year, I cons...

Hello, The posts disappearing could be due to the 1-hour inactivity session timeout of the forum. While you type your post, the forum thinks that you are inactive because no data is sent over the Internet to the server. The forum will therefore log you out after 1 hour. This is necessary, because ot...

You need a few posts before you can send private messages. this is to protect the members of the forum from spammers. I hope it works now for you.
Oliver.

JimT, I just wanted to inform you that you are not out of space and that posting pictures should still work, because I have not made any changes to the settings. All users are allowed to upload 5 attachments per post, 512KB is maximum size, 1024x1024 is maximum size in pixels. The preferred method, ...

Some forum users might want to upload and post images, for which they do not own the copyright. I would kindly ask you *not to upload and attach* these pictures. Please make a *link* to these pictures. You can do this by placing the link to the file in the following tags: [img]http://www.microbehunt...

As some of you might already know, the June 2015 issue has now been released. I changed the numbering system to give the magazine now running numbers. As always, I would like to thank all contributors.
