Very good image and nice comparison

There are also a few high power microscopes that have a single knob that provides both coarse and fine focus depending on how you turn it. I have one of those, for which fine focus moves only a total of 0.3 mm in 1/2 turn, after which continuing to turn the knob gives coarse focus. Reversing the di...

Hello rjlittlefield. Fascinating and complex matter; for me because I'm just a simple artist, but with an insatiable curiosity about the mechanics of things. I have an old Nikon SMZ-1 stereo microscope that I have been cleaning and restoring, with my limited knowledge. It's functional. It allows me...

I ignore which infinite heads could mount on the Optiphot (the trick with a epiilluminator seems good) but about the infinite objectives you can use Olympus UIS or UIS2 or Nikon EPI CF infinites with RMS thread, or also could mount Nikon CFI60 with a M25 to RMS adapter if your in your stand the stag...

I said "related" because, if I understand it well, the Lieberkühn's is just a reflector surrounding the lens* while yours is a double reflector, playing the conical objective tip an important role for illuminating the white diffusing reflector, am I right? * and would be of little utility with very ...

Very nice!
You have invented something related with the Lieberkühn reflector

They are cheap for some reasons. "E" means "economy", I think. They are low end objectives mainly for student grade microscopes, achromats, non plan corrected and likely with not so big image circle although sometimes you can find great surprises "hidden gems" The 10X will be useful within its limit...

The stereo at 4K resolution is really awesome.

Hi Peter, you're welcome! So, my conclusion is that I could try the 0.5x relay lens in stead of the 0.35x. Do you agree? If yes, how to order a lens like that? Just “relay lens, 0.5x”?
Last question: will the light output be less than using the 0,35x lens? That might be a disadvantage.

 I think tha...

I see the 1709a (without bellows) clearly much better! Take a look at them at 200%

...I can add some examples once I figure out how to attach photos :-/

The procedure is described here:

There is some thing in the microscope port or into the 0.35X adapter that is vignetting the image. More questions: 1. (again) Is the round image field as seen through the eyepieces bigger, similar or smaller than the camera round image field as shown? Observing and imaging a ruler is very useful for...

...in their natural habitat... :lol: :lol: =D> Although they have been extracted, their habitat is the diatomite stratum Very promising raw material Very interesting! This is definitely a case where I needed to see the full resolution image to make sense of what I'm seeing. I can't agree more

Just by curiosity, is it a head with built-in Bertrand lens?

The question now is which adapter I should use from camera to microscope to obtain the same field of view and focus through the camera as with direct view. Is the image too big or too small when compared with the eyepieces field of view? Please clarify this point Because the sensor is rectangular a...
