Slide #14. 40x Magnification. Spleen. Dense connective tissue. (Connective tissue capsule with trabeculae).
This model microscope does not win many points on ergonomics; not with the focus knob at the back. The reason for placing it there, is that the mechanism that raises and lowers the objectives is rather chunky. By turning the focus knob, a linear actuator lifts or lowers the objective carousel. Of course, it is possible to raise them too high and crush the objective into the table. If you have never cracked a slide, you never have used a microscope! (After I wired the microscope up, though, the carousel gets stuck just below the maximum height...)
The Titan scanning/transmission electron microscope, also known as the Titan Cubed, is being installed in the Materials Research Institute at the Millenium Science Complex on Penn State's University Park campus. Go to www.mri.psu.edu/news/2012/fei_titan/ for more information.
Biochemistry is defined as a science that combines the principals of chemistry, genetics, biology, mathematics and physics together in one. Students that graduate with a biochemistry degree from a leading learning institution will be able to obtain a career in a vast amount of fields.
playing with light. varied the light, with a cheap LED light toy, and made video of that. The different colors throw different features into relief. interesting.

Nothing to see here! Move along... I thought I made it with a girth that would comfortably allow the lights to wire through. Pah! Only by de- and reconstructing I got the wiring in; the lights to the oculars are on a wire with an extension cord, it just fits through the bottom...
Just posting to host this, so I can get an ID on these bugs.
If you know what this is, please give me a clue.
Scale bar is 50 micrometers
A new boom stand for the Usb microscope - I can now monitor the entire cutting surface by swinging the stand left or right
There is about 10mm clearance from the platter to the bottom of the microscope & with a 1.5 to 2mm thick record brings the clearance height to about 8mm
Shoot for macro mondays theme: What is it
clue: its very much about small things
Edit: As you have guessed what it is I have changed the title and added more tags.

The exposed screw heads would keep the stepper motor from moving on the 'sled.' In reality, I think a redesigned rig won't need that ability to adjust - you can slide the timing belts onto the pulleys without moving the motor on the sled, but the flexibility does make the rig adjustable to other microscopes.
In order to handle the exposed screwheads I made a second motor mount piece, called the 'slide' (since it slides on the sled. creating language to describe parts is hard :-/)
The pieces are identical, except that the screw holes on the slide are large enough for the screw heads. This allows the laser cutter to create parts with countersunk screws.
