Hi,
are these worm like structures in the nuclei in the first image dividing DNA?
Hans

Charly,

there in the middle is the side view aspect of a buffalo heading up to the left side of this test

Now I see what you mean.
Hans

No, my old one. I received the Zeiss Junior in September, before that I used the Müller and the Tucsen Camera for several years.

Hello 75RR, Objective was 40x Achromat (Müller) I like to use cavity slides, they provide a small aquarium for live organisms, fragile objects do not crush too easily in there, and turning your objects is a bit easier. Big disadvantage for the photographer: organismes have more space to move, and th...

Hello, I am glad you like the photo. And yes I owe you a few details. billben: No preparation, the specimen came straight from the pond. I was lucky to get a young one (the older the darker and opaquer) with a tidy test. And I was again lucky to be able to turn it into this position. I stacked about...

Hallo Manfred,

das Fujinon ist ein Objektiv und harmoniert perfekt mit der Touptek

Interessante Möglichkeit: Eine Kamera, über PC/Laptop steuerbar und Speicherung auf Festplatte.

Danke,

Hello,

I quite like the ToupView software. Does it only work with the ToupTek/Amscope/Omax series?

Can the Software be used with Cameras other than ToupTek?

Thanks,
Hans

Danke Manfred, das Fujinon 1:1,4 / 16mm ist soweit ich sehe, ein Objektiv? Oder eine Kamera? I have also tested the ToupTek C-Mount-Adapter (fixed) with my older Tucsen IS300 camera. No hot-spot, parfocal! So it seems to me a good alrounder for sensor chips of this size-range, for instance for USB3 ...

Hello, the shell of Difflugia leidyi looks like a Viking helmet. It builds its test from whatever in finds, thereby sometimes looking quite pictoresque, to say the least. It is about 100µm high. http://www.hans-rothauscher.de/testaceen/forum/leidyi.jpg It was named by famous American biologist Josep...

Hello world,

Does anyone in this forum use the Touptek C-Mount-Adapter on Cameras other than ToupTek?

Does anyone use ToupView Software with Cameras other than ToupTek?

Hello, I would like to show you this testate amoeba Arcella mitrata, one of the most beautiful arcellae: http://www.hans-rothauscher.de/testaceen/forum/mitrata.jpg looking from bottom into the mouth with its crenulated rim. (Müller Biolab-T, Camera Tucsen IS300, Software ISCapture) Greetings, Hans

Thanks a lot, John! Before I did not discover the "resolution setting". It is even easier in my program-version: http://www.hans-rothauscher.de/testaceen/forum/resolution.jpg where I select the magnification name from my magnification list. On "OK" it changes from pixel to Mikrometer. Great relief, ...

Thanks John, but does not work within my setup. This is an image from my files: http://www.hans-rothauscher.de/testaceen/forum/measure.jpg I cannot change the bottom line to read and the measure-line to show Micrometer, which it does, when I measure a direct snap: http://www.hans-rothauscher.de/test...

Hello forum, In the meantime I have partially overcome my problems, often following advices out of the forum, thanks. I have dropped the idea of using battery-driven LEDs. A 32 mm frosted glass filter, together with the blue-filter, eliminates uneven illumination and the otherwise weakly visible lam...

Sorry Hakan, if it sounded critically. Yes I too like pretty pictures and beautiful colors, but Not many of us are breaking any new scientific ground I am not either. Simply, when I see a testate amoebae I want to know its name and family, my defect. That's why I prefer your perfect "polarised" prev...

Hello,
very impressive, though unnatural.
The technique does not show species details very clearly. It looks o me like a Difflugia acuminata with an abnormally short spine. Is it the same as the Difflugia Acuminata in your flicr-album?
Cheers,
Hans

Hello, Since a few weeks I own a Zeiss KF2 (Junior) equipped with a Touptek 5,1 mp camera (see my introduction). While I like the microscope, I was from beginning struggling with false colors and flickering in the camera. The ToupView software offers a lot of setting options. Auto Exposure and White...

Hello, thanks for your comments. I know that for best microphotos you have to use a DSLR or one with a similarly large image sensor. (vaselle: particulièrement Canon ou micro four third) Im am however still discouraged by the complex adaption. Also I like to be able to control through the laptop mon...

Hello, and thanks for your welcome messages. Richard: I liked your Difflugia 2-video, a very active Difflugia lanceolata (I believe). Oliver and JimT: Yes I had some photos in the Magazine a few years ago, but was never active in the forums. About my problems with Toupcam, wrong colours and flickeri...

Hello 75, couldn't agree more. I see that you use a Olympus E-p2. I always thought that micro four/third should be a good solution. 1. do you use it without camera objective? 2. how is the camera connected to the laptop? Can you focus from there and save the image to the drive? (i.e. tethering) 3. h...

Hello,

this a nice image of an 124 µm wide empty Arcella crenulata:



It has its name from the crenulated rim of the pseudostome.
Stack of 6, Zeiss KF2 40x bright field, Touptek 5.1 mp Camera.

Greetings,
Hans

Hi,
very nice perfect stack. It is probably Difflugia lithoplites or Difflugia corona. One needs to see the pseudostome.
Hans

Hi,
this is probably a Pontigulasia cf. rhumbleri.
You have toturn the shell to be more precise.

Hello Forum, as my nickname suggests I am from northern Germany (near Cuxhaven). I enjoyed microscoping as a schoolboy, using a very basic instrument. Four years ago I took a new start (with over 70) initially using a Müller Biolab Trino and a 3 mp Tucsen Camera. Recently I bought a Zeiss KF2 (Junio...

Hello nicholascolding and JohnB, Problem solved! I suspected a software snag. So I offloaded my version which came with my Touptect 5.1 Camera and downloaded new from Touptech. It saved all my settings and the measurements with my old calibrations now show micrometers as wanted. I'm glad I found the...

Hello nicholascolding,

When I measure a object, I can only get Toupview to give me a pixelcount, not mm. I changes the units, but the software don´t react.
What to do?

I have the same problem, believing that I did my calibrations properly (many times)
Did you find a solution meanwhile?
Hans
