For some reason, I don't get notifications from this forum. I try to check regularly. PMs are at least flagged on the homepage, so that would be the easiest way right now.

Re: Have 3d printer, will print.
This will be a slow burn. I do not currently own a 3d printer that can duplicate that design. I have the 3d printer that lays a layer of plastic on top of each other, I need need a resin printer that uses uv light to cure the medium to achieve the detail needed.

Re: Have 3d printer, will print.
Step one: design
I have a newborn, so my play time has decreased a bit. I love this idea and will certainly give it a shot

Re: Have 3d printer, will print.
I don’t know how hard this would be to make but what about making a variable leaf dark field stop-photo below-they could come in different sizes for different filter holders 30mm-32mm etc!

Re: Have 3d printer, will print.
I actually had to design a simple adapter to use the filters withy my scope. It was easier to do one part rather than resize 20 something filters.

Re: Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera
I ordered the amscope adapter. If I end up with a raspberry pi camera, I'd probably end up with the adapter anyway. This way, I have a chance to get away with what I already have.

Order of operations?
I've gotten to play with my microscope for a day now, and I have a couple questions: Is there a specific order in which I should be set up the focus? So there is the focus on the eyepiece barrel and the course/fine focus, which comes first? Obviously, I can get things in focus with the course/fine, ...

Re: My very first compound microscope!
Such a wealth of information here, thank you all so much! I'm glad to hear that there is an eyepiece option to bump the mag just a bit more!

Re: Compound Microscope for Gross Anatomy Observation?
That's good to know. I wasn't sure how easily it would be to pick up additional objectives given that they are infinity plans and I don't really understand how they all relate to each other. I do not see "neo" on the objectives currently on the scope? Or do I need an Neoplan to work with this scope ...

That's fair! So obviously there isn't an easily available alternative brand that plays nicely. Oh well. I did a 3 second search and like you said, no 60x, but they do make 50x. That would be close enough. I should probably actually just use the scope first before looking for other stuff. .... what a...

At this time of the year, winter in the northern hemisphere, there are literally hundreds of potential subjects in old leaf litter beneath the snow. Such specimens are best extracted using a Berlese funnel but simply rinsing/washing leaf litter in a tray of water containing the smallest amount of d...
