You're welcome, Eric Olympus UIS and UIS2 objectives usually are very expensive but, likely due to lower demand than Mitutoyo, with patience and/or luck they can be bought used for good prices (I got mine few years ago under $100 the 4X and for about $200 the 20X if I remember well) CA = Chromatic A...

Yes, it will be

The depolarizer still helps with some setups and almost all microscope analyzers have them. Sure, for example I can see some differences between the two visual ways of the trinocular head when rotating an analyzer without depolarizer but I think that Dario has a "macro style" setup, not a complete ...

Extinction ratio must be as high as possible. Another important aspect is the color hue when crossed: many camera pol filters induce a strong blue (or other colors) hue, the general hue is easily corrected but if it is mainly in the highlights (very usual) it will be more annoying. From all my (old)...

Hi Klaus, welcome to the forum!

What's the subject in your picture?

This has been discussed several times, for example in this thread: https://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=43827 The 20X I use for macro is the Oly LMPlanFl 20/0.40 UIS (modern infinite for no cover glass, 12mm WD) With a 200mm tube lens it works very well on APSC at 22X. I don't...

Hi Mas, welcome to the forum! They are very nice diatom pictures. They must have been taken with very good equipment, would be interesting to know the microscope and its objective used and also how you couple the camera (the unsharp circular limit of the image suggests that something in the adaptati...

This is a very nice piece of equipment and your results very promising. Despite the results can be good with partially well tuned setup, the key to have it right is the parfocality: - parfocality when changing objectives (only little refocusing needed) - parfocality between the eyepiece visual image...

The setup looks nice, is there any optics inside the long tube? How long is the tube? So, you don't have the Universal microscope, do you? Be aware that, as we formerly wrote, if you use Zeiss finite corrected objectives (160/ ) without the adequate compensating eyepiece (in this case the best ones ...

Hola Carlos,
¡bienvenido al foro!

Like others said, you have excellent images at your Flickr.
Would be nice to see your contributions here

Saludos

Admin note:
This post would be better placed at the Equipment Discussions forum.
I'll move it after you had time to see this note.

Hi Colin, Welcome to the forum! You're getting good advice from Enrico. The finite BD objectives require the proper correcting eyepieces, just like the finite transmitted illumination objectives for the Zeiss Universal and Standard. The eyepieces are not so difficult to find on eBay. Then you can us...

Excellent quality image!
Is it a prepared (and glass covered) microscope slide?
