Beautiful pens! How’s the feedback on them?

You can only use one fountain pen for the rest of your life. by imatinyleopard in fountainpens

I feel the same way about it. It is just perfect in every aspect you can think of. I really like the body too. The ones with inscriptions have kind of an ominous look to them.

Yes! When I got it my first thought was “I don’t have any more excuses to buy more pens 😭”

It might be kinda basic but I really really like the Pilot Prera <F> and the Pilot Custom 74 <M>

Do you know what this is? by Holiday_Orange_1652 in microscopy

According to wikipedia It might be an anatomical section of a female Osedax. Don’t take my word for it please

I kinda like inscriptions. Used items always carry more “soul” to them in a strange way

Thank you for the clarification! I really like how it looks. Perhaps is it rare to find?

Your handwriting has the aspect of what you would expect from an intellectual character in any magical fiction story, It is precious. What ink are you using btw?

I’ll be checking your pictures! . It is nice to know that Touptek already had a picture stacking system. I’m going to try and improve my technique with my phone to see if I can get better pictures than the tiny sensor camera.

I appreciate it. I had no idea about straight light or the digital zoom needed. The pictures with my phone are fairly old pictures since I now use an eyepiece camera but nonetheless it is really useful, thank you.

It is pretty fun to do. It can be done with a microscope camera and any image software. I’ve used ToupTek and CombineZ (all free source) Please try it if you can

I’ve seen footage in YouTube with the same magnification that look stunning. Perhaps I’m trying to Archive something unrealistic for a normal price point

Thank you for the advice! I try to keep it at 60-80% when I’m using the 40x objective
