SmokeDaddy~ Did you ever end up making/modifying a centerable aftermarket led or fit one onto the PZO OH1 for the Biolar? Pm'd you~ Nope, I've been to busy with numerous other projects. As I mentioned in the PM, all I seem to do nowadays is work on scopes and never use them. :roll: I did find the s...

Using that feature in Zerene, artifacts, fixing the blurring on hairs, etc. I've never figured out how to use it, so I simply don't.

Hhmm... I'm still puzzled.

No need to be puzzled Rik. I just learn better from videos.

Someday I'd like to see a nice clear video of that process in Zerene.

Which process are you asking about?

Very nice, as usual. I've been experimenting as well and was very impressed with my results. Have you tried generating a 3D image and 3D printing the Ai AI-generated model? You might be surprised by the results.

For what it's worth, all Nikon toolmakers objectives are of telecentric design. I've been very happy using them, however I've only used them with an APS-C camera. Or if you can find one, maybe a Qioptiq Mag.x LD Plan Apo 5x for your FF sensor. https://www.closeuphotography.com/nikon-3x-measuring-mic...

Nice images and a fascinating subject. Have you looked up the specs? To my knowledge, the Ferrite Core Memory Plate was manufactured in the USSR in the 1960s. One 1 ferrite core is slightly less than 1mm in diameter = 1 bit, so a 64x64 core memory plate stores 4096 bits of data. Here's a somewhat d...

I'm experimenting with a new setup: my Wild M400 stereoscope. I'm not quite there yet with my setup, but I'm getting close. This is a shot of a Ferrite Magnetic Core Memory I bought several decades ago. If you want to know how it works, I've attached an excellent video link. We've come a long way in...

Excellent find Steve. Is that hydraulically operated (Oil)?

If I recall correctly, I started 3D printing in 2012 via a Kickstarter printer called Robo R1. It has been a valuable tool for me, even though I once had a complete home machine shop. At this point in time, my favorite printer would be one of the Bambu Labs printers. Well within your budget if you'r...

Excellent work WojTek.

Nicely done as usual Saul.

Looks like the M28 x 0.75 thread printed acceptable for my purposes.

Thanks, I finally verified the thread. I couldn't find my thread gauge. <duh>

Old thread, but I probably screwed something up by doing this. I need to find some specific directions (no guesswork) on adjusting the tension on both the fine and coarse knobs. Hard to believe how stupid I can be sometimes. I have both the Polyvar MET and Polylite SC all working along with a DSLR c...
