Yesssssssss!!

Both images can be seen!

Yes! We have an image!

In the link you posted the first set of images is there but then the second set of images is not and the 3rd and final image is visible! Very strange!

Still nothing i'm afraid!

Would be interested to hear an alternative theory ... Im afraid there isn't anything else I can think of. I have my camera setup ALOT close to the scope that it should be. I took the phototube apart and removed a long section which brought the camera as close to the scope as possible. It gave me a ...

The images aren't showing up

It's a combination of my camera sensor size/phototube size. Even with the plans the small size of the hole in the Trinoc head isn't enough to cover the entire sensor of the camera so it causes coma. At least that's what I'm thinking. It's eliminated when I image via the eyepieces due to eyepieces be...

I must admit i really do like seeing the bigger images! If you can get a bigger image posted and doesn't take up the websites server space, i'd say you've won! Nice images as always!

Wow! Really nice! Your rocking this setup and getting some excellent images!

Jim, i believe the black spot is where the spider sucks all hope and joy out of the world and consumes it.

Really nice images! The closterium is especially sharp! Job well done on both!

Last month i was exceptionally pleased to become a member of the "mrsonchus super slide owners club". Unfortunately i've been so damn busy i hadn't had the time to image any of his slides. Viewing them is an absolute pleasure. Going from water samples to something that is solid, constant and doesn't...

...Keep it up my friend, you never know quite what the next image will deliver! :D :D :) I have a pretty good idea about my next image! Lets just say it came from across the pond! Apo - ahah that's too funny! My wife would be thrilled if i switched out our shower curtain for "one of my own". I now ...

rabitt - No problem! Hopfully it helped! How has the PVC been working for you? Bill - Thanks! This was my first real time capturing depth like that. I usually try to avoid areas with that much debris but it was the perfect testing ground for the mask. If you have some i highly recommend playing with...

Another quick test. Alot more debris that i would have liked but i wanted to try the mask in an area that was "busy". Still liking the results!

There was a vorticella to the left who was fairly active so he got a bit squiggly during the stack.

Thanks for the link gekko, I'll have to read it a few more times and really try to soak up and understand everything that Charles explains. Apo - Thanks for the response! I think i'm a photographer first so i'm looking to re-create (as best as i can) exactly what i'm seeing, after the responses in t...

Thanks 75! Jim: I'm trying different combinations of color, size and shape for the mask. Lots of experimenting! Its all very interesting!! Rich: For my scope i have a phase contrast condenser, which has a rotating turret inside to switch to different phase rings. I started out by adjusting the size ...

I've been playing around with Van Egmond mask's that Rod had provided here

It's amazing to see how big of a difference this little mask can make. Still working on getting it working for all objectives but for the 10x and 20x the results are very nice.

I know someone who has just about perfect results between the eyepiece and the camera with the way they work it, I'm going to ask them for some pointers. That would be greatly appreciated! aha if your getting the same results from your equipment then i don't stand a chance! Tom Jones: You make a go...

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! Makes me feel much better knowing it's a common issue! Oliver: thanks for the feedback, if I can make space at my work station I might try some afocal stuff! I was also going to suggest HDR imaging but Jim just beat me by a few seconds! mrsonchus...

Really impressive images! Love the detail and clarity! It's interesting to see the difference in the subject and how they change when the water is drying up.

Hello All! Just a quick observation i've noticed and wanted to see if anyone has the same problem or if i'm just out to lunch! The quality of what i'm viewing decreases when i'm viewing it via my camera compared to when i'm viewing through the eyepieces. Eyepieces are crisp, sharp and very detailed....

Great job on this finished image! 10/10

Story of my life!

Excellent images as always! Thank you for sharing and the video is especially interesting! *EDIT* Would these just be found in good old fashioned pond goop or is there specific conditions that allow them to grow? Kurt - At the weekend i attempted to adapt a flash unit to my setup, i purchased a rela...

Thanks Rod! The smaller version i made works perfectly for a 10x objective. I'm making the mask smaller and smaller and try and match it with the 20x, 40x and 100x objective to see if i can get the same results i'm getting with the 10x. It really is incredible how much of a difference this little fi...

Hey Rod, I'm using the AO20 too and this weekend i decided to try out your Van Egmond mask that you had available for download here. http://www.microbehunter.com/microscopy-forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2686&hilit=van+egmond It's been on my list on things to try for a long time but never had the chance...

Excellent images Seb! You have some great detail! I especially love image #3!!

Work has kept me away from home the last few weeks so once again i'm falling behind on my microscopy! I have 10 exceptionally beautiful slides from mrsonchus sitting in my slide case just screaming at me to be photographed (Sorry John!!). I spent a good few days when they arrived examining them all ...

Wow Bill! That's unreal! (in a good way!). I love the glow the ant has going for it. This might be one of my favorite images i've seen all year, micro and astro!
