Hi, Rik.
Is there a way to overlay url link for original uncompressed image onto attachment? Can't get it to work with php TAGs.
Clickable attachments would be much more convenient.
Thx.

Sorry if my answer was a bit confusing, at first I was quickly browsing through the topic from my phone, and didn't read closely enough, I've read 'tissue' end 'biogenic', but missed the part 'rose', indicating that this topic is about COM crystals, observed in the thin sections of the plants. Anima...

I've had some experience in study of kidney stone. I've done XRD, SEM -EDS -EBSD & optical microscopy study of one sample I've received, mainly from "scientific curiosity". Since I'm not qualified in medicine (other than 1 eyar course of biochemistry in the Uni, my specialty is chemical analysis) to...

No offense but it's kind of silly to use a compensating objective without compensating optics--definitely not optimal. Giving neo splans a bad rap because of CA with direct projection is a bit like complaining an objective doesn't focus after removing its back element. I said there was no projectiv...

Interesting! But I'm a little confused. You take these photos with the matching projection eyepiece? Wouldn't you then expect to observe close to zero LCA? I would have guessed that you would use direct projection to measure each objective's LCA? Or do you use a nearly neutral eyepiece like the Nik...

Interesting to hear about the Olympus/Lomo match! I've never seen any data on the LCA of Olympus SB objectives. Where did you find this information? Do you know how similar the SB and LB objectives are to each other? They say that FK and NFK eyepieces aren't interchangeable. But I've briefly tried ...

Oddly enough, I am moving to the Olympus short-barrel PlanApos. I've come the opposite way :), well, almost. Old JIS Olympus Plan objectives was the first "imported" objectives for me (eastern bloc LOMO/Zeiss/PZO/Meopta etc. doesn't count), and I did like them. Some photos using LOMO MFN-11 trinocu...

I have CFN Plan Apo 100x 1.40 in my collection, it's not really that great even in terms of resolution in most circumstances. With such high aperture and small working distance, it is very sensitive to environment and sample itself, it would outperform Fluor only in ideal conditions, fragile thing, ...

Interestingly, I found out, that (at least for me), concave/convex uncertainty collapses for all photos, if I move sight from the bottom upwards the image, instead of natural up to down. I bet this effect comes from the circumstance, that naturally for human perception, light falls from up (sky, cei...

MS PLAN LWD 20x has only 7 mm of working distance, not 11.
MS PLAN ULWD 20x has 11mm, but it's an entirely different objective.

Have you tried LOMO short 160TL apo objectives with your MPI-5 set? I have many of those. I did, but this was a long time (~decade) ago, and if recall correctly, most of them, except APO 60x/0,7-1.0 and APO 60x/1.4, worked at the same level as original PZO. I never tried water-immersion, but I imag...

Having two sets of PZO DIC, both MPI-3 and MPI-5, required to make definite assessment, seems bit excessive. I've only have MPI-5 complete set. Main difference between attachments in Z-axis (height) travel of the prism, consequently there's a variation in size and magnification factor, 1.1x for MPI-...

I've had CFUW-M 10x / 26.5 with a reticle (photographic frame, useless for me), I removed it. Mine was glued in place so sturdy, so I think it was impossible to extract without breaking it apart. I was able to hook the edge of the reticle frame and bend it inside the eyepiece tube with a screwdriver...

So you mean old finite one?
Opton Epiplan HD 16x 0.35 160/0 WD=1mm, f=10.4.
It does require LCA compensation (Kpl).
I have one of those somewhere in my 'garbage' box. It's not good for anything.

I see online adaptor M42 to M39x1mm; M39x1mm, will work on leica mount that is M39x26tpi (0,977mm)?

Should work, since difference is marginal.
