Hi, I got this Infinivar over ten years ago and alas it got put aside with me never trying to really use it. Now, I have a better selection of Nikon cameras and various macro hardware but I still am a newbie. The Infinivar seems to have a focal image diameter of 14mm, which results in a circular ima...

I'm not finding anything when I'm searching for this item# on ebay. Still available? If so, what's the trick to find em?

We have a Vision Engineering Lynx microscope setup at work. We purchased the integrated USB microscope but it was poor resolution and eventually failed. We plan to purchase the slr camera adapter with right-angle prism. So question is: which camera should we purchase to go with it? I'm a Nikon guy b...

At the San Mateo Maker Faire Google unveiled the Android ADK - a development kit that supports the Arduino. Microchip and FTDI had their chip based platforms as well. Your host device needs to be able to operate as a host with OTG support though. There are guys hacking their Samsung Tabs and phones ...

I had a short email conversation with the folks that developed the BlueSLR remote camera control. They have a development platform for bluetooth that should cut down development but... you must join the made for iphone development program first and that takes time and effort. And probably they'd cho...

When I first saw the Apple tv being demo'd at the Apple store this is what it was doing. So I changed the settings and searched for photomacrography photos and it then just fed them to me one after another on their big 50" display tv. Pretty cool. I work at WDC and we have a WDTV series of My TV pro...

Questions about snowflakes: Looking at these images have me wondering - are all snowflakes rather two dimensional? Why would they be - I mean it makes for a better design to survive the fall to earth but like it doesn't care - its not alive. Are there other 3D snowflakes that fall so fast they self-...

Is it possible to upload AVI's with our messages or how would I post them?

The Gigapan guys were at the San Mateo MakerFaire this May. I talked with a guy there a bit. He was unaware of our forum.
Another guy there had a cheap, rc servo based slide manipulator to map DNA samples... I think I have a couple short video clips.

along these lines, I just bought this setup:
ebay 250652933714
I know nothing about it and unfortunately do not have a trinocular head yet.
Will this be useful for digital photography or is it strictly for film (I know film cameras are included in the buy).
