Very morbid, interesting nontheless. I find it cool that you can link a specific crime scene locale to the species identified during a forensic pathology investigation.

Re: Restored Leitz Großfeld Stereomikroskop TS

Hello. Well, the subject was a little shaky.The images are very sharp and contrasty at 1x but at 2:5x they start to wash out but still very good, and at 4.x they get quite dark and no longer have such nice contrast. At the end I was able to release the spiders safe and sound. IMG_20210217_211000.jpg...

Re: Restored Leitz Großfeld Stereomikroskop TS

The two light pathes have an included angle of 15° on this scope. So for photography it is useful to have an angled base with 7,5° included angle. I have made one of these with the 3D-printer but a pencil and CD cover will do. The objectives have some potential for photography as the apertures are ...
