Re: 3D printed microscope holder, and some examples

Hi Antonio I can see 2 images.

I always had problems sharing images from Google Photos, so now don't use it for this forum.

Re: Filter Holder Modification. (Darkfield Oblique)

Hi SarahC, thanks for the compliment. I will have to get out the tools again this year and make a nicer filter holder, the first one was just a proof of concept even though I have used it on a regular basis since I made it, it is a little frustrating to have to fiddle with it every time. Some thinne...

Re: Google Photos Link Test

I seem to remember going through this once before. I never did get G Photos to consistently display images it appeared to work only when I was logged in to G Photos. I later found this site which works fine and have used it ever since. Use the link 'Hotlink for forums'. It contains the url tags so j...

Re: Kohler Trouble

Maybe you have some parts missing from under the stage.

Here is the repair manual for the BH-2 (BHS) (with parts drawings).

Re: Stereomicroscope Help

Best bet would be a long arm stereo especially for fossils and rocks. It's a real pain not being able to get focus because the specimen is too big.

Re: YoupTekView for OMAX camera

All Touptek USB camera part numbers begin with TP as the first two characters followed by six numbers and one letter. Omax is unlikely to be the manufacturer of this camera, it is most probably from Touptek. I have a camera which I bought from Bresser which is made by Touptek but branded Bresser and...

It seems to be a really powerful free program.

Join the club. There is so much more fun in being a beginner, you can get away with almost anything and ask lots of what appears to some as being 'dumb' questions and find out the most amazing things. We have quite a number of courses here in Germany that my wife can attend as learning courses and g...

I don't think Dave S was berating anyone for not visiting the website, just expressing an opinion that it would be sad to loose a site that he clearly thinks is good.

Re: Amscope T720 vs. Swift SW380T

We have the Bresser equivalent of the T720 which I have found to be very good. The objectives make a difference in that the full field of view is in focus however they are a lot more expensive. We also have an interest in Pilz (Mushrooms, which is why I chose this particular microscope). If you are ...

The moon will probably end up looking like a piece of Swiss cheese as they burrow through it looking for water.
