That's a great book, thanks.

My main interest in microscopy is pond water and filming it full frame using a canon 5d mark III. Best quality possible. In the future I want to film 60 fps at 1080p. But i know cameras. Now that Im more familiar with microscopes Im still at a loss when it comes to modles and makers and lighting cap...

Is there a giant index of pond water organisms? Ive seen them for bird watchers.

Well it looks like ill just film through the eye peice. In the meantime I'll email am scope and see if they have any.

Amature Astronomy has comets and asteroids. Geologists have Rhodium and meteors. Is there an equivalent rare find for pond water organisms?

Does this even exist? I checked AM scope, Amazon and ebay. I found canon adapters but in the list of compatible cameras none list the 5d mark iii. I thought there would be tons. Anyway. Does anyone here use a 5D miii in their eye piece? If so where did you get the adapter? Im using an old Nikon Labo...

No kidding? Ha. I wish i originally discoved it. I would have named it prop head. I was truly blown away when i saw its head retract and swim away rapidly. What a fascinatingly strange creature. I read that they are all female? EDIT just realized there is a subsection for identification. New here so...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Charlie. I have nikon objectives....they might be the originals? 5 slot turret 4, 10, 40, 100 objectives right now. I ordered a 20 and 60 this week from ebay. I have a trinoc head its just missing the tube. Do you have an F mount tube for sale? Then again not sure i...

One of the most fascinating things I've seen through a scope. It's head retracted and turned into a propeller! Wow. Can anyone identify it?

Hi. Just purchased a used Nikon Labophot (1 I guess). It's missing the trinocular tube for the "F" head but since you can not look through the scope and film at the same time, no big deal. I'll use the eyepiece. Anyway I'm new to all this even though I had a highschool scope (Swift m3200) since 1991...
