I couldn't do without one now. 30 years ago I could take a watch apart (and put it back together) without glasses or even a loupe. Now I never take my glasses off and have to use the microscope to do any watch work. Cheers. Phil. |

--- Quote from: Pete W. on March 04, 2015, 04:30:45 AM ---Hi there, Phil, Thank you for your post. I seem to remember that we've discussed your Baker interference microscope before - was it on a thread of Rob Wilson's? And I seem to remember that you have a copy of Hallimond's book 'The Polarising Microscope'? Regarding the analyser for the Baker, you may know that The Quekett have a members' shop and polarising material is one of the items they sell. I confess that I'm not very clear about the difference between linear polarisers and circular polarisers - a friend who's a photography enthusiast tried to explain the differences and application to me but I must have had something else on my mind at the time!! We have a couple of USB eyepiece cameras but we haven't used them very much - not enough space on the dining table for all the paraphernalia, lap-top, mouse etc. etc!! I can't use those with the CTS polarising microscope because it needs an eyepiece with cross-hairs. --- End quote --- Hi Pete, I'd forgotten that I'd mentioned the interference microscope before. I'll take the analyser apart (after I've done the washing up!) and perhaps buy a piece of film from the Queckett Club shop. I'm guessing mine is laminated between pieces of glass. Would it be stuck with Canada Balsam? This might be much easier than modifying a camera filter. I've heard less than complimentary comments about some of the USB eyepiece cameras. Before getting one I'd like a recommendation from someone who has had good results from one. I have a camera tube which fits the Wild M20 but it came with a Polaroid camera which I got rid of. It's nice that it can take all the light from the image or 50% to the camera and 50% through the eyepieces. I have several microscope books but not a copy of "The Polarising Microscope". Cheers. Phil. |
