Selling my beloved 65mm MP-E. Purchased new from Best Buy in 2016 with a 3-year protection plan, gently used and lovingly maintained ever since, with annual, professional cleaning and servicing. Minor cosmetic flaws but optically and structurally perfect. Lots and lots of life left on this. See my I...

Hi All,

I'm wondering if PlanApo objectives are required for DIC on the BH2, or if I can get prisms that will match my simpler SPlan 5x, 10x, 20x, and 40x (my 100x is SPlan Apo). If so, what are the model names of the prisms I'd want to buy?

Thanks in Advance,

-Danny

I know this was long ago sold, but out of curiosity, are PlanApo objectives required for DIC on the BH2?

Looking to buy a new or used trinocular head for a Motic B1 Series. Having trouble finding any sold as standalone accessories, though plenty of new scopes come with them. Also wondering if a photo adapter is necessary for use with a Moticam 2500 5.0MP USB 2.0. Those seem to be much more widely avail...

Hey Jörgen, Thanks for the prompt and informative reply. Safe to say, then, that a larger ball and bearing might be able to handle a higher load? There is a metal shop here that sells all sizes of steel balls, and any auto-body store will have wheel bearings, which come in a range of sizes, and one ...

this setup really appeals to me. Could you describe the size/make/source of the objects you're using here? Featherweight forceps and neodymium magnets are simple enough to source, but is there a particular ball bearing and metal ball combination that is ideal? I guess the size of the bearing and bal...

Hello Photomacrographers, I recently purchased a StackShot, which I have just set up and am about to use for the first time. I'm having a bit of trouble determining the ideal step distances in Auto-Dist mode. I started by consulting the Quick Start guide which came with the unit, which simply said t...

thanks for your in depth comparisons, enricosavazzi. I'm intrigued by this lens as well. Laowa, on the other hand, is apparently quite pissed off about it:

klevin & Deanimator thanks for the replies. i may graduate to such a dedicated tabletop setup at some point, but for now, I am OK with clamping my rail and camera and positioning specimens directly onto whatever table I have in front of me (with wadded up napkins shimmed under the legs as necessary ...

How about using FIJI / ImageJ ? I DLed and installed Fiji/ImageJ2, but have found it to be a much more complicated piece of software than Piximetre, which is pretty much exclusively for making measurements. I would greatly prefer sticking with that program unless 1) ImageJ2 can read the NIS .tiffs'...

You may not need any software. Just use a microscope stage micrometer with micron size marks. Measure the entire view field captured through each objective, in microns, then calculate actual subject size based on its relative size compared to entire view field. For example, if your 40x objective ca...

I just shot a bunch of micrographs on a big, fancy Nikon Eclipse 80i w/ DIC. They were captured via Nikon's NIS-Elements software and saved as .tiff files. I did not have much time to take measurements, and am now wondering if there is a way to do so after the fact with Piximetre rather than with pr...
