hello,does the Canon M 6 has a wired trigger system,thank

This review suggests it does. Under Connectivity: Remote control: Yes (Wired, wireless, or smartphone). I do not know about the Mark II.

Can UV light stop fungus growth inside objective ? Formaldehyde (gas) is a classic for sterilizing microscopes and, some decades ago, even entire rooms. See for example: Suzuki A and Y. Namba, 1982. Sterilization of operating microscope and flexible fiber-optic illuminator by formaldehyde gas. Nago...

Thanks for the followup. I am happy that the suggestion to switch the USB VBUS connection did the trick. Sometimes the simplest solutions work out the best – and a simple switch, mechanical or electronic, is hard to beat.

You may use superglue, or UV glue which is better. Getting the wafer totally in line with the slide might be a bit difficult, so UV glue is better as you have plenty time to position it.... I was going to try some methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesive that has a 10 minute pot time since it is somewhat...

... How about entombing the chips inside a thick, stiff, covered cavity?... That will most likely not work. Auspost will scan these stuff and if it looks like anything other than documents (which it is not), they just return it to the sender.... It was just a thought along with "Photographs – DO NO...

... I honestly feel both annoyed and pissed at myself. I should have just went with my gut instinct and only offered standard post. It's $25, which is a lot more expensive, but there's no rollers to put the chips back onto the beach.... Since you have 20mm thickness to work with and have paid for, ...

You are welcome. Here is an old version of an Olympus remote shutter, tethering box, before I flipped everything upside down and made a peek inside less interesting: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/7072_tether_box_rev_c_2.jpg At the far left is a salvaged and potted Olympus 12-pin mult...

Hi Paul, I have zero experience abusing Sony cameras, but from what little I have read, like Olympus, they expect the remote control to ground the FOCUS and SHUTTER inputs to focus the camera and take a picture. You can configure Olympus µ4/3rds cameras so that they power up and pretend to be disk d...

Is this the connector you are asking about? Are you seeking advice for constructing a combined remote-shutter / USB 2.0 data transfer cable?

I have made such cables for Olympus's similar but somewhat tighter, 12-pin multiconnector.

What do you need to know?

... Also made the discovery that pressurized, canned air is not good for dust removal: several time the can would spit some liquid on the glass. This splash pattern then had to cleaned off....

Both are infinite corrected, AFAIK ... I think (?) the [M5/M5A] objectives are compatible with M3 scopes and thus probably do project an infinity-focused image.... Yes times three.

Wow. Does a 180570 photo tube fit an M5A? My impression is that the two were incompatibly keyed.

If I get a chance tomorrow, I will visit our local mini-IKEA and check out the desktop Nävlinge lamps. A few weeks ago, they still had a few, silver Jansjö's. I will compare the two if they still do.

that working perfect

That is encouraging. A fellow has been helping me 3-D print the top half of the objective to pol filter adapter. Our next try should finish that.
