I once carried a laboratory microscope weighing more than 20 kg in a pickup truck with a portable generator to observe it right by the sea. It was a trip over 1000 km. It didn't produce much results. Because I was busy with other things, so I couldn't observe much. Thinking about my experience at th...

Hope you did not have to sell the dog to afford it

However, I am sure you will be happy with it

Thanks for your concern, my dog is always happy.
Yes, I am really happy with it too.
Have a good time!

Please do post the results. Here is my result of the testing above.

I am filling an online reference room for school-children.
Sorry I could not make subtitle in English as my English is poor.
I hope someday I can.

It is great

Great detail!!!!

. I think that a repeatable stationary subject like a Diatom test slide might make for a more useful comparison. In any case, even though Zeiss did make dedicated DIC sliders for particular objectives, a little experimentation has shown that a surprising number of objectives and sliders in various ...

Therefore I have used 63X/1.4 objective with Plan newfluar 100x /1.30 Oil dic slider which I have instead of 63X/1.4 dic slider. But, According to the optical aspect, when I use planapo 63X/1.4 objective I have to u...

Total cost is 0.9+0.9+0.8+2.5 = $5.1 And consuming 10 lamps per year, it costs only $25. New DIY lamp is brighte...

안녕하세요~

한국인이신가요? 반갑습니다.

My broken microscope, repairing it, making adapter(for taking photos) and poor image..... This sounds familiar! 😂 I can relate. It’s such a fun and interesting hobby though, and the community on this forum is fantastic. Welcome! Yes money in my pocket is lighter and lighter sadly. Thank you :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPq2a5UbLm4 A big piece of bacteria biofilm, formed from the slow decay of a leaf in my mud puddle, was filled with diatoms. Many of the diatoms were seen moving about the surface of the water. It was a visual feat of ciliates and diatoms. The images you posted look ...

Now I have a better microscope and can see the various lives in pond and take a photos. I feel 10 years ...
