Unidentified OLYMPUS objective

Hello, some time ago I received this object with few other microscope objectives. They were standard 160mm Olympus microscope objectives, sold together with this one. I tried to find something but it has no labeling other than OLYMPUS and I have never seen anything like this before. It has a standar...

Re: First photos and image editing

This tool also allows me to adjust colors in some other pictures, where there aren't three separated picks of RGB and I have no idea to to adjust them manually. (For this photo I picked perceptual for rendering intent. This is a stack of 15 photos of some algaes. As you can see, RBG histogram is far...

Re: First photos and image editing

Thank you Rik! I have another question, when opening a photo in GIMP I have to choose if I want to convert the image to the RGB working space and If I do, what type of rendering intent I want. When I want to manipulate with colors I think it is better to convert the image, but what type of rendering...

Re: First photos and image editing

The biggest concern I have with your first couple of shots are that the color balance is way off. That's simple to fix with levels adjustment. I'm happy to you show what I mean if you like, or maybe you intended them to be the way they are. I would be grateful :) Thank you Rik. Your messages are re...

Re: First photos and image editing

It is obvious that you are not happy with your Cyclops image; and I am a loss as to why it turned out so poorly. I took this image years ago with my BHS and DPlan objective and 2.5x NFK. I have forgotten what power objective I used. This is the quality I would expect you to get with your equipment....

Re: First photos and image editing

But in all seriousness, your Olympus objectives are outstanding; their performance won't limit your photography. That is what I thought but I am glad to hear that :D As I said in the first post I simple taped my bellow to the trinocular head to get started, but I really disliked this way and I was ...

Re: First photos and image editing

Thanks everyone for feedback! NikonUser I am aware of that, but I do agree with Scarodactyl . Olympus SPlan Apo series has a F.N. up to 26.5 when DPlan Apo series has F.N up to 20 (according to infomations on Alanwood.net webside). When standard Olympus trinocular head BH2-TR30 has maximum F.N 21. S...
