Bit more antique microscope macro, starting to get the hang of it. Bit dry and cold here at the moment, so there’s a shortage of available subjects. Looking forward to the Christmas Beetles at Christmas.
I borrowed a digital microscope from work over the holidays. It's normally used for checking the alignment of digital printers, but allowed some unusual perspectives of other things too.
I began snapping some pictures of a plasma ball that I picked up for Halloween. These things are mesmerizing. And in a photo, they look rather viral.
「Zombie Fly」
I was using a UV dye on a dead house fly and that ended up turning the fly green and red.

New addition to my ODD lenses. Now I will use these microscopic objectives with my Nikon camera. Eager to see the results.

Here is another scene from my recent photoshoot in the BYU cleanroom laboratory. This is Zach Walker using one of the microscopes to look at his lithography result on a silicon wafer. The picture has a yellow hue to it because it was taken in a room with yellow lights, allowing for photolithography which is sensitive to UV and blue wavelengths.

On this exciting edition of From The Archives: A LEGO Microscope.
This build was originally inspired by the LEGO X-Pod sets. While trying to find a use for the pod itself, I realized that it was very close to a deep petri dish. I used a planetary gear system to allow both coarse and fine adjustment of the objective “lens”. A little more tinkering and I connected the focus to a magnifying glass and fiber optic light in the eyepiece, so adjusting the focus knobs would actually bring the writing on a LEGO stud in and out of focus.
Photo of a vintage Spencer Buffalo Stereo microscope, circa 1932. I think this may be a model 55. Spencer is believed to be the earliest successful American microscope manufacturer.
After 25 years I have finally replaced my old Stereo and Compound Microscopes. My old microscopes were of good quality and they had served me well over the years, but I have long missed the research grade microscopes that I had used while working for the Federal Agencies. It was time for an upgrade.
The one of the right is a 3.5x-180x Simul-Focal Trinocular Stereo Microscope and the one of the left is a 40x-2000x Quintuple Brightfield Phase Contrast Plan Infinity Compound Microscope.
Both have advanced LED Fiber Optic lighting systems. I also upgraded to a 18MP Microscope Digital Camera that can be used on both scopes (it is on the Stereo Microscope in the Photo).
I have been checking them out in detail over the past week. So far they have preformed as I had hoped. I am more than pleased with my new toys.
I love to try some different budget microscope lenses. Some of them are great performers like Lomo (3.5X, 3.7X, 4.7X) and Nikon 10X 0.25

Micro-photography set up.
Compound microscope with built in digital camera and DSLR attachment. LED lighting for photographing non opaque objects under high magnification.
Stereo microscope with similar features. both microscopes linked to laptop.

This creation uses 4 LEGO magnifying glasses to create a fully functional compound microscope. Other features include separate coarse and fine adjustment knobs, power functions LEDs and a rotating stage.

Microscope lens setup. Effectively extension tubes and a extension tube to RMS cone adapter giving approx 160mm from focal plane to objective. A USB mini LED lamp fed from a rechargeable battery block (that goes in my pocket). The disc near then of the cone is actually a twin flash mount.
Parts. Sony A6000, Sony to EOS lens adapter, EOS to M42 adapter, M42 extension tubes, M42 to RMS cone, 4X 160mm microscope lens.
I already had these but obviously the adapters depend on the camera body in use but you need to get to M42 for the RMS adapter. The most common RMS adapter is a flat disc, if you use this you will need to use more M42 extension tubes.
This is a partially disassembled microscope made by E.F. & F.H. Tighe, Detroit, Michigan, possibly their No. 5 version, ca 1889.
It had been dropped while in its box from a height of about three feet thoroughly jamming the focusing mechanism. A friend wanted to know if it could be repaired since it has great sentimental value. The focusing mechanism was jammed to the point where it was locked, producing no tube movement, but a definite "skip" as the pinion gear engaged the rack. Fortunately, the rack is actually made from a slightly bowed piece of brass... not a thick solid piece. Anchored with screws at either end, the rack has a bit of springy flex to it, preventing gear or rack damage when forced. Getting the tube off the focusing assembly without damaging either was accomplished by directing a thin stream of hot air onto the focusing block, then precisely applying WD-40 with a blunted toothpick. Once the tube was removed, small bits of brass were cleared away and the slides cleaned and polished. De-gunking the surfaces of the slides was difficult because they had a thin coating of hardened black grease that would not move using any kind of cleaner. Cotton swabs dipped in boiling water finally softened the stuff to the point where "Nevr-Dull" brass cleaning wool was able to do the job. Reassembled, the scope is now back in its original configuration and looks great. Some folks have been known to clean off any protective lacquer and polish the brass to a mirror finish. That would be OK if this was still in the maker's display case waiting to be sold, but would totally destroy the nice patina that 130 years of aging has produced.
