Thanks. Retirement is great! This location also doubles as an RDR2 portal. (No, I haven’t seen Gavin).

BH2 is lookin a little light! Why so much neglect for the best microscope ever made?!

I love my BH2! No neglect from me - it gets center position, it has my best camera, all 5 objective positions filled, it was recently outfitted with polarizing and oblique capability. If you’re suggesting Phase contrast/DIC, or reflected lighting, that might come later.

BTW, I have a fondness for Olympus products that goes back over 50 years - I still have my OM-1 35mm camera. It’s a little worn, but it still works!

Cheers.
