Re: Equipment advice needed for a story about the invisible world

How about contacting some of mentioned above creators and get footage from them? That would be the cheapest and possibly best option for you. Could I ask what microbes are you looking to include in your video? How long will this video be?

Re: Restoring paint coating on Olympus UIS2 objective.

Re: Restoring paint coating on Olympus UIS2 objective.

Will paint 2.0 stick to metal without priming? When you said the coat is weak, will it come off if you touch it with a finger? Surely it has to be better than that?

Re: Restoring paint coating on Olympus UIS2 objective.

Do you paint with a brush or airbrush? There is a product called Flextex VT Quart, first I found by googling that gives that texture coating.
I don't feel like clearing the rest of the coating but more like paining over it, maybe couple of coats to even in out. This will be a fun process, NOT!

Restoring paint coating on Olympus UIS2 objective.

Hi all, I am looking for a bit of advice regarding my Olympus UIS2 objective. Due to my stupidity I pulled rough paint coating from rear of objective.

Re: New Mitutoyo apo 10x

Have you consider keeping this objective if significant partial refund is offered? I personally would ask for 50% refund and keep it. I am sure this objective is still a great performer even with those annoying spots. Just a thought.

Re: New Mitutoyo apo 10x

Guys, this in not just delamination but the glass is permanently etched and you won't able to repair it. I have exactly same 10x Mity with exact same problem. I decided to have a go and repair it, which I did but the damage is permanent. Those dots are etched in the glass so even if you replace the ...

I am using BX53 stand just to clarify, very interesting pointers about provis models, well I really like 53 because it has small footprint and does not take much space on my very busy table! I will take a look at LED lighting as an alternative, ma...
