First images in darkfield 20x

Hi no, no focus just searching around my not so extensive bits and pieces for a diffuser last thing I tried looked white but was in fact 'PINK' under the light, so the search goes on after I have had some lunch.

Thanks I will modify as unlisted

Edit: Did that work?

OK here is a video of the modified lamp.

Will post another when the lamp is installed in the scope

Seems to be very little heat from the head lamp, however the place where the new light is, used to be occupied by a halogen lamp bulb and holder which was still in place. The power supply wasn't so there are lots of ventilation slots in the base.

Welcome to the forum, have fun with your new microscope and post some pictures of your adventures.

Took delivery of the headlamp this afternoon. Dismantled an old megaphone for the volume control and an on off switch (Sitting in the garden shed for donkeys years). Removed the lamp and battery pack from the headlamp. Dismantled the battery pack and cut a slot in the housing to take the slide volum...

Photoshop must put some kind of marker in the file that causes Micam to open it as displayed in Photshop, whereas an image opened in Micam from Combine ZP Picolay or direct from the camera gets rotated 90 CCW. Rotating the previous image by 90 brings back the 75. Rotating it 180 brings it back to 50...

More tests. :geek: Hi 75rr and John the image that I used comes direct from the camera and is 3456 x 5184 at 72x72 dpi and was the same for Picolay and CombineZP. It opens in Photoshop at the correct size and resolution. Saving the image saves it at it's original size. All of the images are in portr...

Hi thanks for that.

Hi welcome to the forum. To help with your next level on mushroom ident's this is a useful resource. Which at the time of posting this seems to be offline.

No Stack just a single image with text added edited in Photoshop CS4. Should read 50um still the 50% increase.

Now back to images of pollen.

My next step is to use a single image in photoshop make a small edit then save it to see if it distorts it, a task for tomorrow.

I had the same questions, which is why I used the microscope calibration slide. I didn't rotate any of the images, they are as they came from the camera and as the program's display them, but you are correct the original images are in portrait mode (and show as that on the windows properties details...

Ok it's done here are the results:- All use the same 4 images from the microscope. https://i.postimg.cc/JhmSPpj5/Combine-ZP.jpg CombineZP https://i.postimg.cc/MTpN8XPc/Picolay-check.jpg Picolay https://i.postimg.cc/tTvfRywB/PS-Stack-check.jpg Photoshop It would seem that Photoshop showing a distance...

As I was stacking the pollen images I came across a peculiar thing with Photoshop. It would seem that PS increases the size of the image by 50%. I had wanted to put some comparison image stacks from Picolay, Photoshop and CombineZP. When I came to measure the pollen grains with Micam after stacking ...

Another from our garden.

Just ordered this to pull apart and mount in my new microscope which is missing the illumination.

A favorite among children at this time of year (me included). This growing in the cobbles in our garden is however the biggest I have ever seen at 153 cm. https://i.postimg.cc/cLyJky1n/Foxglove-Final.jpg Sorry no crossections as I didn't want to maul such a magnificent specimen. :( As usual you can ...

Just for the record here is another supplier in Europe 10ml for 5.95 :-

You don't have to lift it, just look through it .

and a basement to use it in so it doesn't fall through the floor.

Have a look at this for an introduction. Lots more on YouTube.

Give this a try. Allows Multiple cameras, text and images to be combined into one video, and it's free.

If you are using a Cannon dslr or for that matter a usb camera on the trino port then using Toupview for the USB or the Eos utility for Canon you view the image from the scope on the screen of a laptop or computer. No need to peer through the eyepieces. Most Canon cameras also have an HDMI output to...

I can't see any beam splitter on the Swift 350T. I would suspect that is similar to my trino scope in that the image is permanently split, maybe one third two thirds to the eyepieces and the trino tube. You would therefore be able to attach an imaging device to the eyepiece at the same time, althoug...

Best option is a headlight lamp with a battery back on the rear. You can split the up and mount the lamp in the scope and have the battery pack and charger on the bench. You could also run the lamp from a mains adaptor. If you i stall a rheostat in the line to the lamp housing you would be able to v...

Called a ‘C’ spanner probably to remove or tighten the focus knob.
