However, there is one important piece of advice that tends to get lost: get yourself a stage micrometer. I will be checking this out Rik. I had used the formula from the spreadsheet Charles had on his website from the link within the posting. I will get the micrometer to double check to see if I di...

Ok ladies and gents, how is this one? Areas I can improve?

28 image stack of Waterthyme leaf, 40x objective
Sharpening, and some light cloning.

F/77!! Intense. All the math that is involved in this makes my head go a little loopy. It was with my ant photo that I was speaking of....a PM maybe. I think the next thing I'm going to look into is the scale bars sticky and learn how to work that out! Thanks guys, you all are invaluable!!!

Yeah, when I first started up with fixing my 10x Nikon on my Canon I couldn't figure out why my image quality was so poor. Charles had pointed it out that part of it was that I had too high of an expectation from an objective, and you had pointed out that I had needed to sharpen the poo out of my ph...

I think it is a great start...really! Thanks Charles! Before I had my stackshot I used to have to do all my stacking manually (not the best rail OR tripod either), it was incredibly more tedious than the microscope is. If it was my first round to use a manual rail I imagine that my stack would have...

Hey folks, This is my first photo (and I mean first) of my recently purchased BH-2 trinoc that Mr. Krebs graciously helped me to acquire/advise. I would like to thank him, and as well the user APO for the great deal he gave me on the adapter and the eyepiece for it. Thanks a ton fellas!! I have some...

Too bad I'm a while away to get the equipment to do this.....great photos!

*Found*

Holy.Cow.

Just bought a Olympus scope after waiting for a couple years and need to hook up my Canon, so.....I need to get two more pieces of equipment. 1. Olympus NFK 2.5x LD 125 2. Photomicro Adapter L (also known as the Photomicro adapter MOM-L) Anybody out there have one or both that they would be willing ...

Woah. You have inspired me to really get back into stacking with my 65 again. Very good images!

Totally agree! That signal fly is awesome. I really like the angle on the 2nd shot of it.

Welcome to the addiction! While I agree with what 99% of what Rik generally says... :) I tend to disagree with him somewhat on the ring flash issue. Let me explain. The downside of the ringflash is what Rik DOES say and what I totally agree with is that on shiny surfaces it does put out a funny refl...

Very cool. I however have not even ATTEMPTED getting the 100 or so image stacks with mine. The most I can pull off is about 15, I however am not steadying myself on the ground. I might have to try this technique you are using because the images you are pulling off are great. I have used a hand stead...

Good to know so I dont get all irritated by messing up a sample... It looks like they are relatively inexpensive as well.
