I thought AmScope supplied ScopePhoto with their scopes, but they dont specify any more.

I wasn't able to find photos of adapters built out of PVC though, unless it's the one with the plastic screws in Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:04:48 GMT brn_matsumoto http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46940 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46940 I was reading Needham's Practical Use of the Microscopy and came across an interesting line about how the Abbe's theory of imaging did not explain some Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:54:59 GMT ronmschwartz http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46939 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46939 Hi, I am about a month new to this group, so this topic may have been posted here before. I have been thinking about buying a binocular microscope, or one with Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:34:17 GMT Norman http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46938 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46938 Anyone know of a good guide or website to the classic Nikon microscopes and optics. Trying to figure out whcich ones are 210 TL or 160 and what objectives go Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:58:59 GMT a.johnw http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46937 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46937 I use a traveling microscope to check eyepieces and objectives for muck etc. It's old and I have cleaned it's eyepiece and a small internal lens/graticule with Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:44:20 GMT a.johnw http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46936 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46936 I really mustn't jump to conclusions about objective types. All of the objectives have a parfocal height of close to 45mms so they must be din.

I do not have a Reichert stand, fortunately, the Heine condenser will provide the cone of light for the anoptral lenses and I can Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:09:23 GMT Ross Ferris http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46934 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46934 I have an anoptral set up of 4 objectives and a rotating condenser turret that I use frequently. It was made by Meopta a Chech producer of optical equipment.

I see problems from a different point of view than you do.

Apparently, it is a custom made to Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:02:53 GMT dljones http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46931 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46931 I believe you are correct, 160mm tube length. dj Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:49:53 GMT J Forster http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46930 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46930 Hi Gordon, ... Those were early days, before PCs became ubiquitous. ... It depends on what you are doing. A single lab setup or a product. IMO, for a lab setup Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:55:27 GMT a.johnw http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46929 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/message/46929 Does anyone know what tube length the early jis PME's used? It looks like the usual 160mms but I can't seem to get that odd 40x din length objective to focus.
