Old new guy

#1 Post by Opa » Thu Oct 23, 2014 5:46 pm

I started in this hobby 69 years ago, when I found a drum microscope at my grandmother's place.
my microscopes: A Lomo with apo objectives, an AO which I configured for travel, a Swift with phase contrast and an Accuscope for most of my uses. Besides that I have some shop microscopes and a bunch of units to experiment with.
My other hobbies and activities are amateur radio, astronomy, ice hockey, table tennis, biking, machine shop and RVing.
I am retired from a job where I used to design embedded computers.
