@Chas .... A knats testicle, based on a knat, being very tiny. Kind regards Alex

@ Chris Thanks for your reply . My observation was based on an accidental discovery, that the spheres offered very simple basic solution, that worked with the Zeiss microscope .. I don't have the skills and drive to experiment beyond, that which has been described. I'm just buggering around, enjoyin...

A simple post on an observation, with a mix of responses ..... From hobbyist to purist .... I could close this post with a comment, that one should always build on a learners experience, rather than to allows one's passion, to deconstruct .. I won't do this .. I will however show you a picture of my...

MY observations are simply from an amateur point of view , Definitely not for the professions .. The high number of beads in a tiny space, allows for comparisons over a number with similar results .. As mentioned, just a simple observation, from which others can opt to experiment with .. .or not .. ...

Thanks for your replies .... Simply an accidental finding is that spherical Glass beads found in water filtration systems provide circular pattern in which light passes through .... My Zeiss Jena NF (East Germany) has an opportunity to align the light source . By using these two controls and the sph...

Cleaning out a water filter system .. The glass beads begged for me to look at them under my microscope ..... Instant light alignment tool ! Dirty slide etc, but remarkable accurate alignment ? The rings may be from the single LED light source that I installed 15 years ago to replace the original bu...

Playmate for size comparison

Got a face that only a Mother would love and it appears to have two bottoms
Your help would be appreciated
Kind Regards Alex

Sorta on topic ...While watching the latest 'live stream' 4th December , I noticed something NO Biggie, but given the relatively low numbers, watching at the time ... What are the chances, that the jar that was being shown, happened to be the very same jar, sitting next to me not 1 metre away ... Bo...

I think your reference is what is two light sources on the back and one more in the front where mine has a micro adjustment dial and Magnifying glass to to view the dial in the location of the third light source ..I haven't attempted to seriously removed it to find out as I am a JInks an heavy hande...

Thank you for your efforts !
$10 AU spent paid off

Numbers on dial ...PH ...1.0....1.6....2.5

Number 47367 I really appreciate all your help

Now if I only knew which end to look through I.d tell my relatives I'm an expert !

I'm unsure so here are a couple of pics ..Thought it to be the additional image ...Alex

Wow you do know your stuff ! Thank you ....I paid $10 for the one with the missing eye pieces so I can't remember if it had one so i only place whatever eyepieces an hand to keep out the dust...Now I know what it is i can search out if i have at least one ......The Interference Microscope came with ...

My other paperweights including a light source I made so long ago a single LED cost $27 AU...It works a treat .......an image to compare sizes of the Interferance Microscope versus a standard and images purposely blrred to make the task of recognizing them a little more challenging

For clarification ...I have a great deal or information on this unit. I suppose what I'm seeking advice as to whether it is worth the effort to fabricate light source or locate appropriate light sources on the internet to operate the unit . I currently have Olympus CH with Phase contrast .Carl Zeiss...

Hi . I recently purchased a Leitz Interference Microscope for $100 AU dollars. It's magnificent although the light sources are missing . I have 3 other microscopes but I han having a great deal of difficult researching this unit . Can anybody enlightem me further
