Re: Diatoms II
Thanks zzffnn and charlie What were the "ups and downs" about? Mostly setting-up complications, there are more steps to follow and hence get wrong. Orienting the sliders is by eye/feel and I had never used DIC before. Additionally since this was a test I did not fix the slide holders in position whi...

Many thanks rnabholz, Crater Eddie, KurtM and houstontx.
This was basically a test to see if it was going work, pleased it does. :)
Will wait for more sliders and another turret before I set it up properly.

Re: Rotifers
Very nice video.
Made the mistake of attempting a before and after bacteria comparison by circling them with a pen on my screen.
Minor panic as I thought for a while it was not going to come off! Turns out the ones they are eating are not quite visible.

Re: Microscope for photography?
I would prefer to buy locally & new in Australia just in case there are any issues. Would like to stick to the budget of the above lens but don't mind spending a little more if there's much more value or if I really won't get sharp images with these microscopes. First rule for buying anything, and ...

Re: About COL
It is possible to achieve Phase and COL without a Phase Telescope, though it is a bit hit and miss, what with squinting down the eyepiece tube or trying to decide by the effects if it is properly centered. I would get a Phase Telescope if you can, not only does it make alignment for Phase and COL qu...

Re: Latest iteration of my Zeiss Standard
The Optovar is more than a magnification changer, it is also a Bertrand lens and an analyser. I changed the Arm it had which came with a fixed 4 objective turret for an Arm with an interchangeable turret. I believe the model was likely an RA (these are early Standards that came with fixed 4 or 5 obj...

Hi KurtM To be honest I do not have all the Zeiss models down pat, as there seems to be some overlap. These are the most common models: The Standard 14 has an internal illuminator with a rheostat on the base. The Standard 16 has a illuminator that fits into the back of the base, it works on an exter...
