Hi all,
I'm getting some supplies for my lab and we have a digital microscope that does the majority of the work for failure analysis and part inspection, Lecia DMV 6 A. Most parts are relatively small, oddly shaped, and sensitive to contamination or mishandling.
I'm looking for flexible sample clamps and holders for this scope. The best I can find is the various sample holders for SEM work from TedPella.com. Those however aren't really meant for this and non have the ability to rotate or tilt. The microscope head tilts but only a limited amount and it would be better to make the sample. There is also limited working distance so the holders need to be low profile to fit into the stage without collision.
I've also thought of using third hand tools for jewelry and soldering but they are big enough that they wouldn't fit on the stage.
Would anyone have recommendations on their favorite and most useful sample clamps and holders for optical microscopy?
All of your experience and advise is welcome. Just want to be able to hold and manipulate it it samples under the microscope
Can anyone point me in the direction of some Lithium, Lithium Oxide, or Lithium Nitride underneath an optical microscope. I am interested in only in optical microscopy. Thank you
I recently purchased an optical comparator and I am going the learn at home from books/videos route for machining in general. I purchased an optical comparator and have been using it to measure angles on drill bits, etc and have found it very useful. Mr. Lipton (OxToolCo) has an OC and a toolmaker's microscope and I see him bust that out over the OC at times for jobs that could be handled by both.
More of an education topic for me, where would one be preferable over the other, examples would be great! Thanks /r/metrology!
It is labeled "Series I" and is stamped with the number 33353. It is also labelled Rochester NY.

I'm doing hobby electronics stuff and some simple repairs, and I've been recently getting into some SMD circuit design. I've ran into a few times where the parts I've been working with were a bit too small to clearly see what I was doing, so I'm considering a microscope. From what I've found, a lot of people swear by optical, stereo microscopes because of depth perception and no delay (compared to digital microscopes). Since I won't be using it that much (1-2 hours a week tops), I don't want to drop $600 on a microscope, though. So I'm thinking of either getting a budget optical microscope (like an AmScope SE400), or a feature rich digital microscope.
Based on people's experience, for occasional hobby use, would I be better off with a cheaper, digital microscope with extra features (like adjustable zoom, tilt, etc), or an optical stereo miscroscope with limited features (fixed zoom) like the AmScope SE400?
Thanks for any input!
Hi,
I have a microscope project. I want to make a standard microscope myself. I'll buy standard DIN objectives and eyepieces. The problem is the following : I searched through Internet the standard optical train for a DIN compatible microscope. I did not see anything! Is there a document which explicitate the optical train standard.
Thanks,
Joel Lapointe
