Re: Questions from our town's old reservoir
Hello, first of all, great pictures. Microscopy alone often does not provide enough information to identify something down to the species level. And: due to the large number of yet unclassified microorganisms, it is not even unlikely that you are dealing with a new species. The typical spiral shape ...

Re: microscope buying question
Hello, I think the microscope I had ordered and cancelled 2 weeks ago had all those requirements, can you confirm this? From a first quick glance, it does seem to have these features, but the choice of a microscope (especially if used for hobby purposes) can, in my view, not only be limited to the f...

Dale, In issue 50 of the magazine, I reported about putting a CD ROM lens in front of an iPad camera. I did not glue it on. I would probably try to glue the lens to a microscope slide (on the side) using silicone and then somehow hold the slide in front of the camera. But the slide increases the dis...

Specifically, the USB 3 microscope camera sometimes connects with USB 2 speed, and I have not figured out why. There is the ...

edit your post and include a line that says that the product has been sold. keep the original text for reference, but add a line. deleting of posts directly is not possible, as this would disruot the thread. oliver.

Re: Is there an annoying 'robo editor' of posts we may take more than four minutes to type out?!!
Hello, The posts disappearing could be due to the 1-hour inactivity session timeout of the forum. While you type your post, the forum thinks that you are inactive because no data is sent over the Internet to the server. The forum will therefore log you out after 1 hour. This is necessary, because ot...
