I chase microbes…so you don’t have to. If you enjoy microbes here is a nice 30 minute chase.

Enjoy

Thank you guys. I’m trying my best to a little flair to my videos

Thanks wok, but I think I want a setup using the measuring stand/base I showed in the last photos. I just need to find a compatible or suitable model. If anyone has suggestions please let me know

Realize that the vertical support can be made of other materials such as a HARD wood dowel..which is easier to acquire and modify It cannot, wood is not rigid enough for demanding high mag work. My suggestion: unbolt the post holder. It's nonstandard and way too small, just like Nikon's stupid 24.5...

[ IMPORTANT UPDATE ] I think you might find it useful to read this discussion : http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19692 Have you actually measured 20mm ?? MichaelG. Thank you!!! You’re right. Looks like I need a 21.6 ish rod and NOT a 20mm Now the search for such a rod and base ...

Sorry … I must have misunderstood you I thought you were looking for a Boom Stand, not a simple vertical column. MichaelG. No worries. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. Right now I only have the bhmj focus block that I showed in the first photo. But it needs a pole and base. So that’s what I’m looking f...

Thanks. I did see that manual. I’m trying to go for a similar setup to the one below but can’t find a similar stand

I’m referring to the BHMJ focus block. It goes on a boom stand.

Came across a cheap Olympus bhmj on Craigslist. The manual says it uses a 20mm pilar for the stand.

Can anyone point me to a good boom stand for it? Some links on eBay would be helpful. I can’t find one and want to make sure I get one that fits it and is sturdy.

Thanks

As some of you know, it is Independence day in the United States. To commemorate independence, I made this video to show the beauty and freedom of microorganisms

I had a flower pot full of rain water. Here is what I found

If you're in the US there are no import fees on used microscope parts.

Hmm I paid import fees on a Japanese objective once. I guess I overpaid

Decent set, but then I have to pay import fees and still change out the lense. I’ve seen nicer sets sell in the past so I can wait. I might make him an offer to see if he accepts.

Anyone know their names?

Does anyone know the name of the 4 microorganisms I captured? First microorganism can be seen at the start. The 2nd microbe is shown at the 7:00 minute mark. The 3rd at the 11 minute mark and has a long tentacle? Finally, the 4th microbe is some kind of diatom I believe and is shown at the end. Real...

Bump still very interested. Please contact me

Well done!

I love those time-lapses of crystals formation.

Thanks! I also enjoy watching the beautiful geometric patterns

If you like crystals, here is several hours of crystals forming. Enjoy
