User interface for my Nikon converted microscope. I mounted a stepper motor on the nikon stand. With microscope lenses I can use stacking photography again. I have a generic lens 4X, 40x and 100x that can give me beautiful images via the Nikon D7100. The step size for the 4x lens lens is 20 um. For a height of 2mm you have to take 100 pictures. With the Zerene stacking software, a photo is then compiled. This software can also create a 3D image. Later I will post more information about the device.

The main controller is the Fischertechnik TXT Controller and connected via the I2C to mijn FPGA unit.

This is a Victorian era student microscope which used to belong to my grandfather, who purchased it second-hand many years ago. It was created by Broadhurst, Clarkson & Company, who were resident at 63 Farringdon Road in London during the mid to late 1800s and were manufacturers of fine quality instruments to the gentry and scientific community.

The body of the microscope is made from brass; it's a lovely old thing and a lot of fun to use...especially because its box was packed with a range of vintage slides from the early 1900s. These beautiful objects have now been superceded by modern technology, but they remain very usable instruments which symbolise an exciting and important time for science.

McKissick Museum and the A. C. Moore Herbarium, from the University of South Carolina, teamed up with faculty at A. C. Moore School, in Columbia, to develop a display on the life and academic background of the school's (and herbarium's) namesake, Andrew Charles Moore. Moore was a native South Carolinian, and an undergraduate at USC, then involved in graduate studies at the University of Chicago. He returned to Columbia, and served on the faculty of the brand-new Department of Biology, and as its first Chair. He started the herbarium in 1907, and is credited with the first scientific publication using the term "meiosis" in its modern biological context. He served as President of the University for 2 one-year terms, and championed public education in Columbia. He died (within what is now Lieber College, on USC's Horseshoe) in 1928. A new elementary school was built in 1930, and it bears his name.

An interesting look at everyday things.

I bought a cheap USB powered Microscope and then started exploring. Some of the images were very unexpected so I thought I would post a few.

Taken with a Microscope and attached DSLR camera... I made them into HDR's but otherwise did not feel like editing them. Sorry.

We had to raise the head of the microscope to fit in this large specimen, but it was worth it. You can see what' left of the flower at the end of this large fruit.

Rainy day so I thought I would take some pictures of a Zeiss Phase Contrast Microscope that we bought for our daughter when she was in school. She is a research scientist now so I guess it was a good purchase.
