Re: "naturefold" -- field photography with Laowa 2.5-5X and focus stacking

Wow! It's been awhile since I went that far down a rabbit hole looking at someone new.
It's an interesting technique, and he's doing really nice work. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Photography through camera port on stereo microscope

With my SZH I use an NFK 3.3x projection lens, with a U-PMTVC 0.3x adapter (a focusable BX version of the MTV3 BH adapter) to the GH4. That provides essentially 1.0x direct projection (3.3x x 0.3x = 0.99x) to the sensor. That fits the 4K sensor dimensions pretty well.

Your best best would be to go to the Nikon Small World contest website and peruse the rules. Straight to the source and all that.

Re: Information on this 'scope

Those old B&L scopes are surprisingly good stereo scopes. Very sturdy, too. I've donated around fifty of them to a couple of schools. Some I bought and some were surplus from a local university. The last couple were just last week. I have two I'm keeping for myself to use for outreach.

Re: Videomicrography: water drops.

Nice video, even if too many organisms are labeled Brachionus plicatilis! :D

I don't even know what to say about the "double-slit" experiment :shock: :shock: That's really strange!

Re: What is a good amount of stereo separation?
