Re: Using Industrial Microscope Camera having panasonic CMOS sensor.

I was looking for similar information for video microscopy but the subject is mind-boggling to say the least. It appears I may be better to obtain a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera rather than a dedicated microscope camera. From reading at various sources it seems the dedicated cameras all ha...

Re: My microscopes

Since my January post I've obtained an American Optical series 20 trinocular and converted the illumination to LED. I was also able to obtain very reasonably the darkfield condensers (both use oil) and the phase contrast condenser with objectives. Soon I'd like to find a great microscope camera for ...

New on forum, late in life.

Hello to everyone. I was led to the forum by the online videos of Oliver Kim. I began microscopy as a young child in the 60's, mostly with toy microscopes and prepared slides. Though the equipment was lacking, my interests wasn't. I read lots of science and microscopy related books (no computers or ...
