#1 Post by MicroInspector » Sun Jul 10, 2016 7:26 pm

I know that I am new here,
I know that I am not a pro but I just know the basics
And I don't have the thinhgs the other members have.
I hope I not annoying anyone,
I try hard to good photos and videos and try to get it right.
Microscopy might be kind of hard to understand
But it can enjoyed at one's own pace.
Please everyone I am doing best I can to understand this hobby
Please bare with me
I got a carson universal optics smartphone adopter
To Improve my photos and videos.
The microscope reveals the truth of life.

MicroInspector, no need to apologize. We all started out as neophytes at one time.

In addition to experimenting and asking questions check out this site:http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/ind ... index.html

Lots of good info. Also check out the great tutorials Oliver has posted in the "Beginners" section of the home page.

Do not get discouraged.

MicroInspector, I have a second question. What is your native language? That could be part of the difficulty in the communications.

A good web site for beginners is http://www.microscope-microscope.org/mi ... e-home.htm
Called " Microbus " check it out.
Good basic info,
You'll find a good part of this hobby is taken up reading and studying & learning. Just as much
fun as looking through the eye piece.

MicroInspector, So we know you're half Irish and half German. But what's your native language?

I apalogize. I didn't mean for it to seem as if I'm picking on you. I've been trying to understand why we are all having a difficult time communicating with you. It seems when we ask you questions, you often act as if you didn't understand that a question was asked. So I thought maybe we had a language barrier.

Well, you've already got the most expensive part - the scope. The trick (and the fun) is finding creative ways to make the most of your new hobby while staying within your budget.

Maybe a good strategy would be to forget about images for a bit, and work on learning basic microtechnique skills. There are plenty of subjects you can enjoy with little to no additional equipment. Protozoa/diatoms, hair, fibers, etc. some of these are difficult to photograph, since they move around on you. But the sad truth is it's very difficult to take photos through the scope that approach what you see with your eyes. This is even true with stationary subjects.

So just have fun looking at things, and learn to make the best of your viewing, before you worry too much about photography.

Well I got the universal smartphone optics adopter
That help me with that but I do a test take of photos and videos.
It take spiecal high speed camrea
take photos of lighting, with out it

You can take videos of lighting. With my
Drone and my other stuff with microscope combined
helps out to study areas and microscopic life forms
makes this hobby fun

(Biology class they tell you to draw what you see in the microscope
Using colored pencils
Than in training to use the a microscope
They fixed slide a tiny type letter e on it
Well that might be fine, but what a bore
The instructor say draw the letter e how you see it in the microscope.
It is just a a letter e and nothing more
No detail ,
I can't say much about virtual microscope pc program
might great for training but like using a make believe microscope.

The reason they often start with the lowercase letter "e" is because it is roundish, so it fits the view nicely, and it is starkly apparent when you look through the eyepiece at the letter that it is not right. If the letter "e" is on the slide so that it looks correct to the naked eye, it shows as upside down and backwards through the compound microscope. The lowercase "e" is therefore a perfect introduction to the compound scope. Stereo scopes don't do this.
