From what I understand, the microscope nosepiece was originally configured to accept RMS thread objectives, yet you bought M27 thread objectives. Picture "Threaded ring" above looks seems to be: the original objective mounting ring - the dark part, presumably M27, and the shiny brass internal ring ...

It must be the wing of a dragonfly!

Correct, the leading edge of a dragon flys wing.

Is anyone aware of a focal reducer for an axioskop. My camera takes photos with dark corners.. 4/3 frame. Ebay has some but they dont seem to be the right type or maybe im missing something The axioskop has the C mount threads on the top of the photo tube focuser ring and the camera can be c-mount o...

Here is a good read to understand quartz crystals better https://rudolphresearch.com/sample-calibration/ https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iucr.org%2Fnews%2Fnewsletter%2Fvolume-27%2Fnumber-1%2Fmore-fun-with-quartz-crystals!&psig=AOvVaw125rCP4PvUEcb5ZIsZW607&ust=1623886360992000&so...

I emailed the original author . Hopefully i can get a responce and not get brushed off.

I also emailed a producer of synthetic quartz lense to see if they are the same or better when compared to natural quartz in a right and left hand set....

Lots of great info here !!

last question. What would be the differnce in plate heights need to be if the first (SiO2) quartz z-cut is 10mm in thickness.

Or would these need to be an exact thickness.

i use a piece of white paper under some of my subjects. it can be illuminated from under and above and it does NOT take much light
tinfoil adds too much and really takes away from what you want to view.... . and clean your slides!
post a picture of the microscope and setup you have

can you post a picture ?

See , so many unanswered questions

Glad to be here !!

Matador I love all the work you have put into yours. I wish i had the things you purchased !! I too have the 6 objective turret. But purchased a 5 just for this project. Thats a bummer about the 1.25 . And i dont know about the adapter ring. But have you tried temporarily placing a lense in the swin...

Does anyone here use this Polychromatic polarization technique?
. Im super interested in this and want to know if anyone has modded their scope to do this.

I have learned a lot since starting this adventure into the unknown. Here are some sample photos of diatoms from my fish tank This was from before any modifications or cleaning lol. 20210304_191306.jpg 20210304_191418.jpg 20210305_122103.jpg 20210305_122119.jpg 20210308_210615.jpg Not as clear as i ...

Yes the threaded ring is original and untouched. At this point i could have used an adapter from the RMS to M27 H81101706e40142e59f4910ddf27cfd67Y.jpg . But this would not allow the light to travel thru the outer shell of the objective off its internal mirror Reflect off the specimen and travel back...

I hope im not going too far with the posting and pictures. 20210602_162123-1.jpg 20210602_162131-1.jpg 20210602_173214.jpg 20210606_130346.jpg 20210606_130211.jpg So for now i will cut this short as i have made other modded items . But i can save that for another day if the mod gods allow 😇 Travis

The washer was made from a dvd 😇 I tested various sizes. This worked the best. 20210603_083016.jpg I smashed apart a CPU 20210602_161912.jpg 20210602_161920-1.jpg 20210602_161945-1.jpg 20210602_162053-1.jpg At this point i painted the entire inside of the light path with black 3.0 . Why not.... So a...

This took a while to figured out and i probably annoyed a few ebay sellers with a lot of questions. Haha After sourcing the appropriatly suited parts from an olympus DF/BF cube Knowing the measurement of the elliptical mirror will fit the slider without too much modifications i started pulling the s...

Once the turret was done 20210318_141328.jpg 20210318_141343.jpg It was time to take the threaded washers to the lathe. And make them M27 .75 First took them to the thread ID needed 20210322_233131.jpg Then threaded in the lathe so they will stay true and centered 20210401_170328.jpg And a little br...

With the info i was provided i set off to make it so. Started with increasing the ID of the turret. Had to make a negative mold to hold it 20210318_103102.jpg 20210318_103109.jpg 20210318_103117.jpg 20210318_103124.jpg Once it was centered on the negative it was ready to be cut 20210318_104820.jpg

I never really had the chance to have a good microscope as they were not as plentiful as Say in the USA. So being in canada i often had to wait patiently for the occasional add to pop up on a local buy and sell even at that it got harder and harder to pass up even a cheaper model. Like i said i have...
