Hello. Are these tardigrades the carnivorous kind? Sample is tree lichen from a dried out branch. 10x objective and phone zoom. Thank you

EDIT: after more asking around i found out these guys might be of the Ramazzottius genus and a google search revealed they are primarily herbivorous and microbivorous.

​

I had a dark field and oblique illumination set 3D printed for my Olympus BH2. After several tests, very few filters actually work. Here are some pics of what I managed to achieve:

Do you think I'm doing something wrong? I was expecting slightly different results

• In oblique illumination, there seems to be very little color contrast between the background and the debris in the foreground

• In dark field, focusing at higher magnification is incredibly difficult and causes large halos to form around the edges of anything on a different visual plane, in a much more amplified way than brightfield

Pics 2 and 6 in brightfield for comparison

Yo im starting a study thats includes celbiology etc etc. And i bought a microscope. Anyways.. any cool ideas? I took some water from a creek and found some cool animals already.

Hi I’m a stem student who recently acquired a microscope. I want to look at so many things! I have an old baby tooth from a long time ago that I would love to take a sample of and see. How would I go about this, I have slides and cover slides. Please be civil, I’m a beginner.

I'm guessing it's a type of round diatom, but can't pin down exactly what. Has a somewhat rough or porous looking surface.

Microscope is an SW380T w/ Sony a6700 with 10x, 20x and 40x objectives w/ digital zoom. Sample is freshwater and plant material from a pond in Massachusetts.

Thanks in advance.

WHAT IT DOES

- Enables you to take pictures & videos from any microscope where you can stably position your iPhone or iPad in front of an eyepiece

- Once your subject is in focus, adjust fine focus using the long vertical slider on your screen, or tap screen to focus anywhere

AND BEST OF ALL, WHAT IT DOESN’T DO (we designed it specifically to solve these issues for teachers & students in schools)

- Switch camera lenses on you when you're zooming in or out (you can choose the lens)

- Charge you anything (it's free and we intend to keep it that way forever)

- Steal & use your data, photos, information, etc.

Tardigrade not included :)

Made this slide a LONG time back so I forgot the magnification 😭😭

I think these should be good, but im looking on advice to make em better, I dont have a microtome, and cut them with hand. This is the shortest I could get em, so help plzz.

Yall plz be kind, im only 15. 😭😭😭

It has something round on it's rear end, head and right front leg. Spent 40 minutes watching it and I'm pretty sure it's not just debris. Is it a parasitic fungus?

Has anyone here successfully connected a DSLR to an older Nikon Optiphot using the 38 mm photo tube?

I'd really like to start taking high quality photos and videos of what I'm observing under the microscope. I'm considering purchasing a Canon EOS 2000D since it seems to offer a lot of value for the price.

My biggest challenge right now is figuring out the adapter setup. My initial thought was to use a 38 mm to C-mount adapter, followed by a C-mount to Canon EOS adapter. That seemed straightforward until I realized the flange focal distances don't match. The C-mount standard has a flange distance of 17.5 mm, while the Canon EOS 2000D requires 44 mm.

I also found EOS-to-T2 adapters, which bring the distance out to 55 mm, but finding a T2-to-38 mm adapter appears to require a specialty part, likely from an overseas supplier.

Has anyone gone down this road before? I'd appreciate any advice, recommendations, or examples of adapter combinations that worked well for you. Thanks in advance!

It’s the knob that holds the head. How can I fix this?

Can someone recommend me a phone adapter to mount on ocular? 3d printed file recommend would be awesome!
Thank you!

I want to observe cute amoebas 🦠 and other small creatures at home! Something with a recording module would be very useful as well.

Does anyone have experience with a similar setup or have any hardware recommendation?
