Re: Mayfly Nymph

I forgot to mention too, it was shot in dark field, utilizing the ILLD dark field base The Mayfly was an accidental find, and I had never seen one before.

Mayfly Nymph
Here's a video of a Mayfly nymph I found a few weeks ago. It was among a clump of algae floating on the surface at the edge of a very slow moving outflow stream from a local lake. The microscope is an Olympus SZH, and the camera used is a Panasonic GH4. The nymph was in a glass petri dish with 5mm o...

Re: Question on Olympus BH-2
Hi Bill, Sorry for the really belated reply :oops: . Too much time doing other stuff... If you haven't already solved your mirror and gear problem, sometimes the gears come up on eBay. I believe they're the same as on the BHT/BHTU. The same goes for the mirror. I don't have either of those. The easi...

Re: Question on Olympus BH-2
Bill,
I'm glad it was useful.
I promise you're going to love the BHS and the DPlans! Or the BHT for that matter.
If you end up short a part or two, let me know. I have some spares and may be able to help.

Re: Olympus BH-2 eyepiece question
Bill,
If you have a trinoc head, the -H eyepiece also can be used to parfocalize the camera, too, if there is no reticle. Match the camera focus with the -H in the right eyepiece slot, with the locator pin in place so it focuses when you turn it, then focus your left eyepiece normally to match.

Re: Question on Olympus BH-2
Bill, The BH-2 series are very nice microscopes. I used them in a clinical lab for twenty years. The last ten years we had the BX-40's too. Lots of used parts and accessories available. The BH-2's are sturdy enough I use several of them (BHTU's) for outreach programs. In addition to what lorez menti...
