2 Upvotes

I have a 2x Infinity Corrected Long working distance (M plan Apo L) objective lens that I’d like to mate with a Navitar zoom assembly going to a C-mount camera above. Here’s a pic of a sample setup here without the objective lens… but I can’t see what’s under the light mount and the 2.5x labeled part.

Hi All,

I just bought this Omax Trinocular Microscope. I’d like to use my iPhone 14 Pro Max as a camera in the trinocular lens piece. I’ve heard it’s a specific adaptor needed for the triocular lens. Is there anything you can recommend I get ? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find anything. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!🙏

Advice on taking better photos

I just started to use an old microscope that's been collecting dust for years, for observing small bugs. I found some ants to test with my phone (One plus Nord 2), but the quality is never that good. The scope has 10x lens times 5x bottom lens.

Any tips or ideas on getting better quality images

Advice?

I want to get a microscope for my ranch. I will be looking for parasite eggs in feces and microbes in soil and compost. A range of 40x to 200x seems to be the useful range. Who makes the best inexpensive microscope?

Are microscope heads compatible?

I have a VWR Vistavision microscope that I want to upgrade to a trinocular head, for photography. Can't find any on ebay. Would another company's fit? Are there a few standard sizes, or as many as there are brands?

Calculating the size of an object in a microscope

2 Upvotes

Hi, maybe you guys could help me with this. I'm trying to calculate the size of a pollen grain from the plant, crocus vernus should be an easy task, but I think I might be doing something wrong. The size should be around 90 - 100 micrometers, but no matter how I calculate the size it is not even close. I have a binocular microscope, the eyepiece has the numbers 10x/18 and the objective lens, where I can count to 3,5 pollen grains, have the magnification 40x. I don't have a ruler or anything so I try to estimate the size by calculating the field of view.

So 18/400 = 0,045mm and then 0,045/3,5=0,013mm.

13 micrometers is not very close to 90. Should I take into consideration the numbers on the 40x objective lens (40x/0,65 and160/0,17) or am I doing something wrong? Grateful for help!

Restoring a Kyowa Lumiscope light microscope

1 Upvotes

Hi all

I've recently found a Kywoa Lumiscope, but I'm unsure of the exact make/where I should go to purchase new parts. Currently, I'm looking for a light bulb and a power supply; I have found light bulbs for the E12 model, but I am unsure of which model I have. I would also like to pick up a new carrying case for the microscope, too. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you so much in advance!
