lol It was close to expiring with NO bid when I posted it. (I am pretty sure.)

I assumed it was one of the 1000s of overpriced items posted that must make ebay RICH.

Not that it is likely to help but here's an F74 from a video adapter from surgical equipment.

Oh, the carnage 75RR!

Yours if the Roman coliseum version of microscopy Glen!

Charles ran out of space and is selling off the farm it seems! (jk)

I suspect it is a 'growing pain" thing.

We were allowed only 50 PMs. Perhaps the change to 100 needs tweaking.

My advice would be to be patient, look at a bunch of microscopes over the period of at least a month, if not several, and try to find a microscope that is complete, or at least closer, to you ultimate goal. I can say with confidence that it will cost a lot less and likely cause fewer headaches as we...

lol hello

Way to get that message count up!

Dennis is not Dale.

No biggie.

My sincere apologies, Dennis    I did mean Dale, of course. Sorry again.

What gekko said!

lol, and now another lemming Sorry Dennis

Thanks for the links Dale,

As tempting as it is to try to imitate and pretty as the images are, mine is a warm weather microscope; as is the operator.

You know who you are!

But I liked 75RR's exploding subject!

I was where you are only a short time ago.

Pretty much all of the advice above is excellent and I wish I had received and listened to it.

FWIW

Thanks for finding and posting this 75RR.

That is amazing.

Thanks Fan. I see you have been holding out on us!

Don't feel any need to say thank you.

Charlie, You can adjust the height on that Zeiss photo tube and don't need those spacers. The tube has a helical screw fitting. You loosen the large Allen screw and twist the upper portion of the tube to the height you need it. Why is it that I must always learn the easy way AFTER I have learned th...

Awesome images Glenn

Thanks for showing what can be done.

(Reminds me of ancient Roman ruins, or something.)

What size spacer do you need Everett? I ended up with 92 extra 1" ID thin washers if that helps.

Really awesome images Kurt.

Glad to see you're enjoying the new toy!

I attribute it to what you feed them.

Welcome

You are in good company. I, for instance, have the same scientific qualifications that you do!

Now you see why Oliver gets the BIG bucks!

While I have considered asking you for a count of the microscopes that you own, I assumed the number was fluid, ever increasing, and difficult to pin down!

I admit that I am ASSUMING each of the covered items is a microscope Charles.

Would i be wrong?

That is the Eveready Bunny of bananas.

I didn't know you could take landscape portraits of a banana!

(That is a great image gekko!)

While you guys are looking at the tools, I am seeing microscopes in every nook and cranny!

Well, I hope you bid a bit under $20,000 each Charles!

Hi Steve

Will you link the replacement. While a simple led won't work as a plug in replacement, I guess it is possible someone has made a module that does so. At a minimum, the led would need a resistor.

Great videos 75RR.

Thecamoeba one really shows off that DIC!

"... and Bob's Your Uncle"...? :?: Bob's your uncle It's a catch phrase dating back to 1887, when, in a blatant case of favoritism, British Prime Minister Robert Cecil (a.k.a. Lord Salisbury) decided to appoint his nephew Arthur Balfour to the prestigious and sensitive post of Chief Secretary for I...
