Thank u i assume your camera is a lumix full frame s-series.

What type objectives you tested with sigma?
Have you tried it with as combination with other lenses of lower focal distance for macro purposes?

Does anyone tested this as tubelens?

So both HR mitutoyos were potatoes?
I'm curious to see some photos (of the actual objectives) and photos taken using them.

Manage to put everything in place except black spacers.Focus works ok (both coarse and fine).

If anyone needs help with these just let me kmnow.

These are parts from a typical black Leitz microscope of early seventies(170mm tube length). I'm trying to assemple the focus block and i have spent a lot of time without luck. I have some questions. Where i put the black spacers? bl2.jpg There are two bronze carriers with 8 balls each.One of them i...

that sounds more likely. after all it would be odd for Mejiro to publish a data sheet which lists distortion at each magnification down to 0.001% (1 part in 100'000) and then not care how the ring is lined up :) I'm with you Chris in this case but I can't ever forget Irix #-o They claim 0% on their...

My main aim is to use some good old canon glass with my sony a6000.I also own MP-E so i want to give i a try.

Does anybody tried to adapt Canon MP-E on an APS-C sensor camera using a speed booster.
I'm thinking to buy viltrox ef-e ii adapter to use my MP-E on a sony APS-C camera.

These are great objectives way ahead from its age. They are compatible with eclipse NIKON microscopes althought with a parfocal distance of 45mm.

Hello harisA, coincidentally I want to do the same 😊 At the moment I have a single LED like Pau but I want to change to CREE XLAMP XHP-70.2. Where I want to take the 6V variant so I can run it on batteries. I will install a diffusor between the XHP-70.2 and the field diaphragm of the Köhler illumin...

Thank you again Pau for your valuable help and support. COB models often are more powerful but a big part of the light never will enter into the microscope illumination path. Can you please explain this a little bit more.Both XML2 and xhp50.2 are 5X5mm leds while the second has a double loumen output.

I want to make a led illuminator for my universal zeiss microscope since the light bulb and the base are missing.I was thinking to order a 20w xhp50.2 cree led but it seems to be a multi die (4-part) led. Is this type of led suitable for my project or i need to stick to a lower power single die led?

The focus block was easily detached from microscope's body.I had to remove 6 screws.Everything looks ok. z4.jpg I bath everything in WD40 and now fine focus works just fine.Most importanly i understand how fine focus works.The fine focus gears are indepedent from coarse focus main gear.The internal ...

Thank you Pau i've sent u a pm.I assume that your photo show the back of the focus block (the side that is in contact with microscope's main body).Am I correct?

What are those pink crystal looking things installed in the frame? Is this frame actually filled with desiccants? Sutter uses Drierite which turns pink when it soaks up moist air. https://youtu.be/BLvYLLJmcnY Yeap this is silica gel for a photocell inside the microscope.It does'nt affect any other ...
