I have the Virginmedia wireless router and it works fine for me. Signal strength (and speed) drop off fairly quickly with distance from the router, and that could be an issue in a big house. Small differences in positioning of the receiving PCs also can make quite a big difference so that's worth ex...

Yes I have an Ortholux 1 microscope. A fine old 'scope. I believe that the focus block can be removed and it looks as though that would be possible on my stand. I have no experience of trying to remove it myself. Manuals for the Ortholux 1 are available on the web and might be helpful in working out...

Very pretty, and an interesting achievement, but is it technical 'overkill' I wonder? I think, unless that's a remarkably small Fuschia flower, I could achieve that depth of focus and overall composition with a conventional 105mm macro stopped down to f22 and careful lighting, probably without need ...

This unknown fly is another example of a two image (back half plus front half) Helicon composite taken hand held in the field. Not pin sharp but quite satisfying. The same camera/lens/converter combo as used in the first picture of the beetle. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/718_helico...

Thanks very much for that comprehensive reply. Please don't be disappointed, but I felt my head starting to swim after the second line. :? The thing is Photoshop is a big complicated beast and I don't make my living from it. I thought I'd arrived when I learnt had to process a RAW file. :D I suppose...

Doth two images a stack make?
OK a slightly jokey title. What I meant was can you call it a stack if it's made up of just two images? Normally I would never consider trying to stack images captured hand held and in the field, though I know that there are others who have this extraordinary skill. However when looking at my shots ...

Hallo from Kent, England
I am an ex-professional microscopist living near London in the UK. I have three microscopes; a black Leitz Ortholux 1 for which I have brightfield and also the Ultropak incident light accessory; a Zeiss Standard 12 with phase condenser and a set of phase neofluars. This microscope sadly is only a bi...

Thanks Charles. Very helpful links. I was aware of these issues with Zeiss and LOMO objectives particularly apos and planapos needing compensating eyepieces (and photorelay optics). I believe pre-infinity tube length microscopes from Leitz and Nikon also carried out correction for chromatic aberrati...
