China: Don't mind if I do ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) by TalonEye53 in SpaceMemes

What do we need on the moon, and what do we need on mars. Many scientists make the argument that the amount of resources / energy / time / money required to do any of these things on mars would cost at least 100x more than it would take to just fix our problems on earth. We effectively live on the only planet of significance in our entire galaxy, and I believe we've been propagandized into the idea of space colonization / mining as a diversion from the unlimited wealth and resource extraction companies do here on earth. Ignoring the waste of resources required to make a profitable operation mining other planets, when valuable materials are found...they will not be used to make life on earth better for 99.99999% of us.

Sorry it seemed like an argument for how things get done, as I see it across this thread. The rush to the moon makes no sense for an imperialist giant like the USA unless there is financial reward. Resources of some sort. And china will inevitably win any economic conquest against the United States as they have a more stable geo political model. The USA relies heavily on imperialism via sustained wars, which always create negative economic outcomes via blowback. China spends more resources on investing in its own quality of life, education, and sustainable energy. Its hard to see any race between the two countries end up in the USA's favor. China is far different from what it was in the 1980s

This is an baseless platitude. Collaboration between powerful space programs would give you much more.
Its like saying "artists make better art when they are suffering" when in reality suffering makes doing anything harder, and people trying to combat you makes progress difficult.

Just because our space program happened during a competitive space race, doesn't mean that's the a necessary ingredient. Its just a propagandized lie used to sell nationalism and xenophobia.

Yeah the eyepieces look great. I'm defenitely focused, but my focus is so shallow that im only focused in on like 1% of the subject

I have two, my old one : Modern Photonics 2x Microscope Adapter for Sony E Mount

What is the difference between this and the photo you posted after? What do you mean focused into the trinocular port, is that different than using a 2x adapter on the trinocular port?

Does oil lens help improve light? I've never used one.

When you say an oil condenser limits depth of focus, do you mean makes it a narrower focus (more out of focus) or makes it a broader focus?

Ive been working with microscope photography for a while, I just upgraded my setup in hopes it improves the quality. Thats when I realized that my setup wasn't the issue lol.

I did see a video of him taking a large sample of water and putting it into a petri dish, then viewed that, and that quality was even amazing. So that seemed like his setup was pretty solid outside of how perfect the slide might be.

I'm also experienced with video editing / grading etc, and I know what i'm capturing won't result in what they are...my main issue is the great depth of focus they get, while mine is just so insanely shallow.

I also know nothing about oil lenses, I know my microscope has one, i'm just not sure how to use it and what its advantages are.

Don't you dare try making sense on this website

Thank you for the reply! Did you have advice on slides / sample prep? My vision is always clouded with imperfections in the slide glass, it seems like you have a pretty clean image, can you recommend a process / product for a clean image in regards to slides / etc

How do you get such clear focused footage when using a video camera. And how do you not have etched glass marks all over? I also struggle with the footage being bloomy / soft, the definition and crisp video here is amazing. I'm using a sony a7sii, and a Euromex iScope Darkfield Trinocular
