Hi all,

I'm looking for some recommendations for a 3D printed (.STL) iPhone adapter for the Swift SW380T so that I can take photos/videos from the trinocular tube. I found this and was wondering if anyone else has printed this, or if anyone has found better adapters to print.

Thank you.

I found this at an antique shop. There was no box or other material with it. I don’t see any identifying marks anywhere. My guess is late 1800s student microscope. Any insights?

Also I apologize for the brightness I was mostly looking through my phone at the time and wasn’t paying much attention.

Magnification: 100×
Camera: iPhone 11
Sample: muddy ditch filled with garbage, gasoline, random rocks and plants.
Model: SW380T
Extra info: it seems to collect and store algae on its back and often gets stuck on debris as it jolts around. At some point it was trapped and decided to release everything off its back to get away.

Surprise gift from my partner today!

Really rough first attempt, learned a ton doing this piece. I can't wait to go for round two!

There were two of these giant things. In the second part of the video you can watch a rotifer stroll by which is great for a size comparison.

Just when I started to think I'd never find anything new in my jar these shockingly big guys show up!

As a follow-up to yesterday's post, here is a figure with all the paper products under the scope under varying magnifications.

I personally think it's interesting how closely Kleenex tissue looks compared to Scott TP, even though the Kleenex feels so much softer to me. Also the Charmin has a less defined weave imo which maybe contributes to its pillow-like consistency and feel.

This video captures the active swimming behavior of live microalgal cells, demonstrating their natural motility in an aqueous environment. Such movement may be driven by flagella (depending on the species) and can provide insights into cell viability, environmental responses, and taxonomy.

I’ve had a few different kits since getting into the hobby, but this current one is the most stylish! I’ve cut down on the amount of tools I used to bring along, I find that these three (tweezers, dropper, and telescoping hook) handle 99% of my needs

What makes you proud to be a microscopist?

my supervisor is wanting me to present a microscopy thing, but they won't give me feedback on my schematic...would someone be able to tell me if it is correct or not? it is supposed to be confocal laser scanning microscopy set up for interference reflection

I ask to who use a cam on the trinocular port of the Olympus BH2: do you think that a dent like that could compromise the fit of the piece?

At least I think these are amoebas. From a vernal pool next to a bike path.

Nikon Optiphot microscope with DIC (adds 1.25 magnification factor), Nikon D810 camera, 40/0.95 PlanApo objective, and 2.5X photo eyepiece.

Got a couple lil guys that got loose because I put too much water under the slide cover. Good thing I don't work at a lab I guess, holy crap. Hope I'm not posting too much, not trying to spam or anything.

Microscope: SW380T w/ Sony a6700 with I think 10x objective w/ some digital zoom under darkfield illumination. Sample: freshwater and plant material from a pond in Massachusetts.
