Focus stacking is quite common.

A fellow that I know killed 2 of this same model of camera by recording church services for stay-at-home folks during the early days of the Pandemic before he found out about the overheating issue. I bought mine initially for some occasional astrophotography, but this past winter provided very few g...

They say 'cleaned'....

You have to take anything that Amscope says with a grain of salt. Sometimes a truckload of salt.

The Amscope branded coverslips and slides are notorious for being filthy right out of the box. We had this discussion a few years ago, seems it pays to spend a bit more brass for brand name glass. The Globe brand slides and cover slips that I bought on Amazon some years ago were very clean. Your mil...

I picked up a used Canon T3i camera recently and have been having some fun adapting it to my scope and taking some shots. Live View through the computer monitor with the Canon utility software sure is handy. But I worry about overheating the imaging sensor. I read all kinds of conflicting informatio...

I might try to get hold of a mount which will let me get my old Cannon 500d onto the trinocular head to test whether I'm missing detail with my 3 mp camera. My little 3mp USB camera provides pretty good resolution, but lacks in dynamic range, which I believe is a common flaw of all such cameras. CE

The best (any piece of gear) is the one you use.
Great photo.

I like the demo photos.

Gary, is it frozen and will not turn, or spins freely with no result?

Such fantastic images just blow me away.

Just off the top of my head, and without looking at the measurements, this looks like it could be the green form of our old friend haematococcus.

Sorry for bringing up an old post but I missed this as I have been away from the forum for a while. I love your Pyrex cultures, they seem much handier then my pickle jars. I’m going to have to do some shopping this weekend.

Agree with Apo above about it looking LOMO. The trinocular viewing head looks just like one of mine.

John, you come up with some of the neatest stuff. It is always a pleasure following your adventures.

Nice looking Laboroscope. I always wanted one of these.

Hey Crater Eddie,

I know this is an old post, but would you be interested in selling your KOH 1K - 1.25 condenser?

Thanks for your interest, but at the moment none of my LOMO stuff is for sale. I hope you find one.

That is way cool! I use ICE for stitching stills, had no idea it had a video input mode.

Holy necroposting Batman!
It looks like the OP removed her posts from the thread making it rather confusing.
Let's not start up the LBA bit again.

Hello and welcome to the forum! We are always glad to see new LOMO people here, at least I am.

Welcome! I have a few LOMO microscopes myself.

Looks like a good purchase. Those PID devices are great. I used a cheap PID from Amazon (about $40 USD) to replace the trashed controls on an industrial oven we bought at scrap value at work, it works great, after warm-up it holds the oven temp to within 1°F. Used another one to build another oven, ...

Welcome to the forum! This is a friendly place, I think you will like it here.

It looks great from here!

Welcome to the group!
For some reason microscopy clubs aren't as numerous in the US as in other countries.

Stunning!

I have been unable to sleep well since I saw a 7 objective nosepiece on ebay ;) 7 position turret?! That sure would be great, assuming that it doesn't come with it's own set of hidden issues. 4 is so limiting, though one does get accustomed to it eventually. The BH-2 has a 5 position turret, it mak...

Yes, both photos were taken just moments apart and on the same area of the table, you can see the same knot in the wood in both photos. I guess the colour balance was affected by the variation in the different surfaces of the turret... white v/s chrome. Funny, I didn't even notice that until you men...

Actually, he did wrap it in several layers of bubble wrap, so it arrived in perfect condition, despite ...
