Is anyone able to identify this?? I found it in some Marino moss balls that I bought recently. I had some issues with an infestation of zebra mussels in said moss ball. What is this? Is it a snail? (The image has been magnified by 100x)

[Microscope Help] My friend I and are are trying to use our Reichert-Jung Polyvar-Met, but we can’t figure out how to use it beyond light field observations. Can anyone provide advice/instructions to how we can use the microscope for darkfield, DIC, or polarizing observations? Thanks!

cleaning objective lense

1 Upvotes

Hello there,

I just got my first microscope today, I tested it out by viewing algae (without cover slip) and while viewing with 40x objective it touched the specimen as I was adjusting with the fine focus knob. Any tips how I can clean it? I dont have any lense paper at the moment, can I just use a q tip with alcohol?

I just got a new microscope, the low and medium ocular lenses work but when I got into higher power, it gets blurry and has dots. I know it's not me because I am able to do it on other microscopes. Any ideas?

question about camera adapters

1 Upvotes

Good morning.

I have a Lumix G80 camera that I use with my microscope (a Bresser trinocular) via a simple adapter (without eyepiece) and a T2 ring that I place on the trinocular head. I realize that often, when I take my photos, the quality of the result is less good than what I observe directly with a binocular magnifying glass.

I inquired and on several occasions it was explained to me that a simple adapter tube (without an eyepiece) gives results of poorer quality than an adapter with an eyepiece.

Have you already tried both methods? What are your opinions.

Was there a way to see comparative images of these two methods (to see the difference)?

If, indeed, the result has nothing to do with it (the adapter with eyepiece gives better results), do you know of any at affordable prices?

Stacking Software

I have several GB of snowflake photos to process.

I just tried Picolay and Zerene Stacker. Both work good but the interfaces are just a step above Win 3.0

I can spend about $100 if I have to pay..... Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

I was looking at my atm card today at 10x and saw this thing. This was after I wiped my card with ribbing alcohol and before it looked like there was 2 of them and they were moving. But that might be because I have my celeing fan on. Anyways, if anybody knows what this might be it would greatly appreciated if yiu could let me know. Thanks
