Nikon didn't design a prism for PlanFluor 60x.
My experience with 60X Plan Fluor dry and its prism: I use PF/PA 100 oil or PA 60x oil, and it works and the results are great.

But to observe protists I think the best is 60x Plan Apo WI, but i''s difficult to find it at a suitable price.

Hello everyone, I’m offering for an Exchange: - N2 DIC dry prism - Slider DIC 20x - Slider DIC 40xI - DIC L dry 0,9 prism - Slider PF 10 - Condenser C-CUD Phase Contrast components for condenser C-CUD: - D-C Ph1 - D-C Ph2 I’m searching for the following items (exchanged for the aforementioned items)...

Would this be only compatible with Nikon microscopes or is it more universal than that? And what would be your asking price for it in the case of a swap not being possible? Unless you are also interested in Wild and Leitz parts :-) It is compatible with other microscopes (as you can see on there we...

Hi all,

Some new images of zooplankton from Santander Bay.

And here are some images of a "vampire".

My adventure has just begun... For years, I have been dedicating myself to marine benthos, especially the Antarctic ofiuroids (echinodermata). I have not been to Antarctica, but I was fortunate enough to be able to identify the specimens from several British and German expeditions and then did sever...

I take it you narcotize the beasties in the petri dish and then transfer them via a pipette on to a slide?

Exactly, i take 10 or 15 microlitres with a micropipette.

Thank you very much for all your comments! Magnesium chloride is a narcotic that is used to slow down the movements of numerous invertebrate groups as well as of many protozoa. I use it in pure, crystallized form, which is how it is sold as a food supplement. So I add it little by little to the samp...

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for your comments.

While running a DIC-test, looking for a good differential contrast resolution in the bubbles, I was pleasantly surprised by their fluid metal appearance.
So, as a result, here is one more image.

Hi all, For the last year I’ve been following the forum with assiduity, and it was of great help, since it gave me a chance to compare the results of my experiments with those of the forum participants. And here are some images inspired by the photographs of hkv that have helped me to fine-tune the ...

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for trinocular Zeiss Axioscope in perfect mechanical and optical conditions, with transmitted light, phase contrast… Not interested in fluorescence.

Thanks in advance!
