Based in the UK, I'm searching for the following objectives in good condition:
Olympus LMPLFL 20x (either the original or the 'N' series)
Olympus LMPLFL 50x (either the original or the 'N' series)

If you have such you may wish to sell, please let me know :-)

I'm interested in purchasing Olympus LMPLFLN 10x, 20x and 50x objectives (not BD versions). Thanks for any help in them tracking down

Hello again, I’m afraid I deleted the ‘cork’ files so cannot provide a bigger version (too tidy for my own good). The below was captured with the Post Focus feature on the G9 with Oly 60 mm macro. The MP4 had 210 frames. The first 10 did not start at the front of the scene, but a little way back and...

Very pleasing myxo images I have a quick question. Approximately how long did it take the EM5 II to capture a full stack? Seconds or minutes? Cheers,
Des

I am having problems with the Post Focus feature on the G9 (with Oly 60mm macro). It misses the closest focus planes at the edge of the scene and can miss others in the middle of the scene, leading to focus banding in stacked images (see below, where some of the out-of-focus planes are arrowed). Not...

Thanks very much for the replies. I've ordered the Sirui T-005X with C-10S ball head. Not sure which slider to opt for yet. Best regards, Des

Hello Forum,

I'd appreciate tripod recommendations for a Lumix G9 + Olympus 60mm macro (total weight = 840g). The tripod needs to be as light as possible because it would be carried in my backpack during long days in the field, often up big hills. Many thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Des

Lovely images. The specimen is Ptilidium ciliare.

I'm based in the UK and searching for this item for a reasonable price

Wanted at a reasonable please ;-)

Thanks for the replies so far, much appreciated :-) I appreciate the essential ingredients of lighting, mounting, etc. I guess the list made me think whether, everything else being precisely equal, can another camera do SIGNIFICANTLY better than my basic Canon 700D for BF, DF and DIC images of wet m...

I was pointed towards the 'Micro Tech Lab' website which includes a 'Camera ranking for microscopy use': http://www.lmscope.com/produkt22/Camera_Ranking_en.shtml?currentpage=1&sort=3 I wonder if this is a reliable ranking and assessment? I ask because I notice many of the cameras used to capture the...

Just to say a quick thankyou to all the repliers; all very helpful indeed. Much to think over. Many thanks

Hello Forum, After quite a lot of ruminating, I've decided to opt for an Olympus system as my forth-coming microscope set-up, for which I want high quality DIC and darkfield (largely for imaging wet mounted moss specimens). I will first see what items I can obtain from the used market, before buying...
