My experience is limited but that is what I have seen.

Also like fish, different creatures seem to like different structure.

That is a great conversion!

I, too, would like to know the specifics of the conversion.

Finally, I am getting there!



Thanks for the youtube tip Glen

I agree with the seller; I don't know what this item is.

It appears the two objectives are used at varying distances apart. Does it give a variable panoramic view?

Many good ideas above but a box in a box and bracing so nothing, especially sharp or pointy things can move is best.

I shipped a lot of hand formed glass with virtually no losses with the box in a box.

That was awesome Glen! Whatever the cause, I hope you find it.

NO That was last year, this year is was that rare Zeiss collectible microscope! Remember?

Very awesome creatures and images apochronaut!

Thanks for sharing them.

I am glad that came for you Charles. I was concerned about your mental state after your loss!

I knew you would be. Sorry Charles, you were close!

Wow Neat ad Glen

Circle #1 on the reader service card and send it in will you?

Glarex screen, model 19 and 98 are all new to me.

It seems clear that the one that I linked from ebay was once a model 98 now that we see your ad.

Have any of you seen a 7 objective turret on a Standard? Have a pdf for it in a Zeiss catalog by chance? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carl-Zeiss-Microscope-/131718831580?hash=item1eab0ddddc%3Ag%3Add0AAOSwFMZWsiDX&nma=true&si=%252B%252F6Ie6%252Frt9IRghSeMctLpb2FVU0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p20476...

We have refractometers this week from the chemistry department.

Sorry Charles; I see no more pods for sale.

Congratulations on a new microscope Charles! It has been DAYS since your last one! :-) Looks like the all have trinocular tubes. The non-Fluotar objectives sure are massive. I don't get it though; are there secondary illuminators on them? (The one on the right appears to have an upper and lower?)

I would pack up something purchased from one of these auctions for a forum member if wanted instead.

Charles' Transporter pod went for over $1100!

And the microscope cameras seem to be of use to someone.
One bidder has all 4 above $65.

Awesome imaging Rod. Thanks for sharing them.

If you have a Klaus Kemp test diatom slide, you don't have to post photos, you can simply tell me whether or not your rig can resolve dots/lines on XYZ diatoms (especially those most difficult two). While I too hope for the best for einman in his Lomo project, you got my attention with your mention...

Thanks for the ebay vendor tip Rod. I ordered 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit at prices only China can offer.

It should be noted with stones this fine that, as with using a honing strop, only very little work is needed . More will dull not sharpen.

Congratulations Kurt

That is a sweet setup.

I believe you will have to give more details before someone knowledgeable can answer that. Didn't you ask Einman on another thread? There are several people here that will speak up when they join the forum.

My local university surplus has 4 "microscope cameras." They look pretty slick: :-) http://www.swapauction.wisc.edu/Listing/Details/1511548/Microscope-Camera-with-Mounting-Arm-40059 Anyone need an Olympus stage and 5 objective turret?

You are being modest. I can see you are a woodworker! (The razor blade end should be shorter that the "artwork" shows.)

JimT wrote:Only regret is I didn't use finer threads on the larger "T" bolt and thumb screw. That was the first one I did which led to me doing the smaller one.

Along with finer threads, consider using the bolt to move a lever (like one arm of a scissors) to make a tiny movement to the sample being cut.

While you are waiting, why not email Amscope and ask them? I believe the Ebay adapter and another ocular lens will work. (But will require a bit of tinkering.) I would think that the Amscope made converter for Canon would work. (But they have two adapters with unknown differences.) In the end, I sug...

I think Fan has more insight on what you need than I do. For my arrangement, it got me close but i am still fooling with spacers to get the view & focus of the oculars to match what the camera sees. You'll also need an ocular or other lens in the phototube.

This is my first post and i'm already asking for your help, so I apologize for being so useless. I resemble that remark! :-) Not that you would want it but I am using a Canon T1i and this adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICROSCOPE-ADAPTER-for-DIGITAL-CAMERA-SLR-DSLR-D-SLR-Canon-EOS-NEW-600D-500D-4...

Hello Eduardo

Choose for what? What is your background and what are your goals?

Those are great images Rod! You are right; Edward Scissorhands has nothing on your Copepod Nauplius!
