Re: Chironomidae larvae

Very nice! I'm pretty sure which bits are the tracheae, but everything else is a mystery for me. Thanks Rik ! Saw ostracods inside, decided that it is something related to the full belly :) ostracod-web791x1024U100-G6.jpg BTW, Flickr is not handling the largest image gracefully, at least for me on ...

Re: Watermite

Lovely -- I like simple solutions that work really well! Am I correct in thinking that the polarizer is to cut specular reflections from the left side of the mite? --Rik Correct. Simply slided a piece of the film polariser between specimen and diffused Jansjo and adjusted with the top rotatable ins...

Re: Watermite

Thank you all for your kind comments ! Very nice! The illumination really is excellent. Is this conventional darkfield using a condenser, or did you do something special? --Rik Simple two gooseneck LEDs on the microscope's stage plus aluminum foil reflector (not shown in the setup photo) . Mite setu...

Re: Options on a Nikon Optiphot stand

...I need some help/ideas please with adding an adhoc bottom lighting option with condenser to a Nikon Optiphot Epi Stand. Similar like this ? (I used it for the different purpose).

Re: Firebug nymph

That separation is only part of the StereoPhoto Maker window. If you change the window size, the gap will change. If you zoom in so that only part of each image appears, the gap will shrink to a narrow black bar. Whatever it is on screen, this gap always disappears when SPM saves images. Do you wan...

Re: Firebug nymph

Stereo as shown looks good. I see a couple of minor artifacts, but the layout and separation are good. I don't understand your question about StereoPhotoMaker. Can you describe the problem in more detail? --Rik Thanks Rik ! Red arrows - is there some way to adjust this separation between L/R photos...

Re: are 3d resin printers good for us?

Hi everybody, those days I was looking for a 3D printer having in mind to do the one or other part for photo macrography. I discovered that resin printers like an Elegoo Saturn or Anycubic Photon Mono X became affordable solutions (around 500-600 €) and should be able to produce fine threads like R...

It will help with twisted stepper cable, using coarse knob
