Hello from Manitoba!

[Free2Fish]

Hi gang,
I’ve been in an out of microscopy for a number of years, the “out” part mainly due to the influence of other hobbies. It seems my interest has been rekindled after watching a whole bunch of YouTube videos, mainly those featuring microbehunter.
I own the following instruments.
Zeiss Universal with phase contrast
Leitz Laborlux w/BF
Lomo Biolam
American Optical stereoscope
MicrosurgeryTraining stereoscope
Like many of you I’ve also been looking for a decent DIC scope for a number of years to no avail. Time is starting to run out since I don’t appear to be getting any younger.
Anyway, have just pulled out all my instruments and am pondering chopping a hole in the ice to gather a few specimens.

Welcome to the group, from a fellow Canuk!

Thanks, eh? I see we have the same microscope, a laborlux S. Really like that scope, so easy to use. Got some water samples during our thaw and see lots of stuff already jumping around so microscopy might be a go soon. Now to get serious about that DIC scope.

Hi,
I have an Olympus BH2/BHS DIC system that is available; shipping within Canada should not be too bad, also, no taxes!
I just checked the prices on ebay - wow! I could do a lot better.

PM me if interested.

[Free2Fish]

PM sent.

Is the DIC system still for sale?

[Free2Fish]

Still looking for a complete DIC system.

Hi Don, nice to meet a fellow Manitoban. My guess is you’re waiting for spring too.
