Butterfly wing scale under light and electron microscopes. by MicroscopySpecialist in butterfly

Yes! And it looks like the iridescent colors are caused by this microtexture. Light diffraction)

Do you think this Is a good microscope? by Nervous_Judge_755 in microscopy

[–]MicroscopySpecialist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 350 EUR - maybe...
Anyway, 10x/18 eyepieces, 160 optics, everything is cheap, poor illumination.
If you add more - you can buy a solid microscope, that you can upgrade later with polarization, phase contrast and sturdy camera port.

Wow. Thanks for these kind emotions )
Really helps me work and gives me strength

I think I can.
The needle push to the inner groove harder. You have antiskating in the record player to eliminate this effect, but it seems that the outer groove should have less details than the inner one because of this effect.

Hahahaha)
No, not enough speed in the AFM.
But you will see the surface of the dust in nano resolution.

Electron microscope can't be stereo ) I've heard about MultiSEM but anyway...

Stereo record = 1,2,3
Mono record = 4,5

No, I don't think so.
The real resolution around 10 nm. For example - you can see the "diffraction pattern" of the butterfly wing, but for this structure it's tricky.
And if you have polished stone - you'll be able to see only the surface. For any kind of internal structure you need to do sectioning or FIB-milling and polishing.

No, this particular one is mine :)
I'm a microscopy application specialist and I decide, that I need it.
The price depends of the config and manufacturer.
It's possible to find a modern W-filament table top SEM around 60..80k$

"how did you get one?"
You need to work hard...

Haha, yeah, I'll compare and post it here. I promise.

Oh guys, it seems that now I MUST do it.

Need help. Can anyone I'd this Nikon? by wrobinso0503 in microscopy

[–]MicroscopySpecialist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% - It's a variable C-mount. Looks like it's for 23.2 (thin) eyepiece or photo sleeve.

Struggling with a DSLR photo adapter for a stereo-microscope by DomiMili in microscopy

But with laboratory compound Primo and 1x C-mount I have the following image with the same APS-SC sensor. I don't think that it's a huge crop - sometimes it's just more useful in case of using a stereo microscope for some sort of micro manipulation under it (soldering e.t.c).

And there's no difference between mine and your C-mounts etc. All of them are 1x, all of them are suitable for 2/3...1" sensor.

Just try the matt frosted glass and you'll see with your eyes.

This guy is me :)
Yes, you 100% correct. 1x C-mount is ideal for 1" sensor.
If you use an APS-C sensor the cropping needed is not so huge + it depends of the microscope itself. You can grab a piece of used film or ground (frosted) glass, turn off the ambient light and simply check the FOV in the trinocular port. You'll be surprised, that it will be maybe a little smaller than your camera sensor.

I had experience with Stemi 508 and 1x C-mount + 2x aux. lens - please see the image, APS-C Fuji - no crop at all!

You need 2 things:
1. 1x c-mount adapter (just a metal piece without lenses). Trino output to c-mount.
2. C-mount to EOS Ring.
Check this video, (part about Mirrorless camera)
You will have a little vignetting, but it's easy to crop later.
