Welcome!

I haven’t seen any with that long of a reach either! Great capture.

How much did you end up paying for the DF oil condenser if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks! (Looking for one/considering it for my microscope)

I paid $500 for it. I see there are a couple on eBay now for around that price.

Great finds! Hadn’t seen those dinoflagellates before, and love the colonial flagellates!

Great capture!

Dialed! Nice to see this beast fully set up for modern microphotography.

Excellent! I love those, especially in darkfield. Amazing detail on the 100x footage!

Very striking.

Beautiful! The cast of the light is especially compelling in these.

What a big boy!! That’s a great find!

I agree with the others that you will probably be happiest in obtaining a new stand. But are the Fluotar objectives in good condition? If so, those are WELL worth the price you paid. If you can get a partial refund, buy another Leica stand, and use those Fluotar objectives on it, you’ll have a reall...

Yeah, you’re one of the best people on here and we will miss you greatly!

That’s a fascinating one!

Wow, great sample, nice video.

I love this idea and enthusiastically support the motion! Behavior is to me the most interesting aspect of microscopy — otherwise I’d just look at mounted slides rather than wrangling the living beings. While physical description is important in identification, I’d love to not have to wade through t...

Excellent video! Loxophyllum is so cool. I keep hoping I’ll find one!

Welcome, Blue! It’s such a satisfying hobby, and the people here are great!

Still for sale! Reduced to $180.

I think you have a newer lamp house with an older power supply. The older 5-prong male connector is shown in this eBay listing:

Very interesting! Great job showcasing it.

Reducing price to $200.

Great video. Looks like you’re getting a lot out of the new scope!

That’s so cool that you got it, having recognized the Heine! I know what you mean about how these vintage scopes can look smaller in photos. My Zeiss GFL looks like a toy in some photos but is surprisingly full-sized in person! Slightly taller than my BHS, in fact. You can see there’s definitely som...

Interesting! It’s fun to see the different approaches they took in earlier years. That one looks really nice.

And what’s that silver lever or clamp thing below the head? Does the tube somehow slide vertically for some reason?

Very cool! Amazing that it came with the Heine. Where did you find it?

Nice! That Metacineta especially is a great capture.

Looking good! Following this thread with interest. And what an asset to this forum MicroBob is!

Hi all, I’m selling my LabCam Pro iPhone adapter in like-new condition. This adapter lets you mount an iPhone 7, 8, or 2020 SE (SE2) to any microscope via an eyepiece or trinocular port to take pics and videos. Cheaper adapters use plastic lenses but this one uses “The iDu Optics SmartLens, made fro...

Very nice video!
