I'm for the Raspberry Pi and Trinamic external stepper controller combo. I'm using the Mike Labs Trinamic stepper boards (as well as my own prototype 5160 board on another rig) as a hat on a Raspberry Pi: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/5301_LEitz_box_1.jpg It all packages together ver...

Hi, I'm using a Prior Proscan 2 controller connected to a XY joystick and motorized stage. Here's a link to an overpriced example of the controller for sale on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRIOR-PROSCAN-II-MICROSCOPE-STAGE-CONTROLLER/402048956864?hash=item5d9bfc39c0:g:2MEAAOSwkoleKiPN As the joyst...

BTW...That first shot of the 445111 hilighted how dirty the rubber around the eyepiece was, mainly because I used isopropyl alcohol to clean and it left a white film. I used some car cleaning solution (ArmorAll here in Canada) to restore the rubber. Looks a bit better anyway..... http://www.photomac...

Well...I had a simpler 10X/21 pair shown below and I upgraded to the 445111 model thinking they would be optically improved. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/5301_wild10x1_1.jpg http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/5301_wild10X3_1.jpg The solid fit, adjustability and perhaps er...

I am wondering if there are N and B varieties of this ocular. Mine are 10X21B with a 445111 PN





edit: I see that N and B are close on the keyboard...nevermind

Hi...I'm interested in the 8000 lens. Is it still available?

I've been keeping an eye on the new Aputure Amaran MC light:

It's very small and dense and relatively inexpensive. I'll pick one up and give it a try as soon as they are available.

Still available.

Please note that the shipping cost tracked from Canada to UK/Europe is about $80.00 -120.00 and can go higher the further east you are.

This tendency for some plastics to degrade and become sticky was my nightmare for several months last year. I had a few microscopes with this problem, as well as other electronic gadgets that became unusable beacuse of the tactile degredation. I tried everything, isopropyl, etc., and while isopropyl...

I'd be carefull about pulling apart the black and silver components of the nosepiece. If there are ball bearings between the two parts they can rain down and scatter onto your worksurface and you will be provided with hours of entertainment trying to collect and repack them. Ball bearings can be rep...
