I was looking for these lenses to see a large field of view it's good that using one of these can even increase the working distance, very nice demonstration thank you
7:45 I think the problem was that there was very little contrast in the focus square so it had a hard time telling weather it focused correctly or not.
I'm in the same boat. I could certainly use one, but don't need one. Stop posting about this, Dave! I'm still recovering from my rigol and fluke purchases, I don't need another expensive tool enticing me!
I did not think I needed one but I am the same with good recommendations and recovering from past purchases. I got one and have tons of uses for it now.

I believe the focus on those cameras work by contrast detection. When the auto-focus started misbehaving you had just a more or less blue area on the focussing area - that's why it wasn't able to focus, I think.
I got the 0.35, 0.5 and 2.0 lenses I found using the 0.35 worked best for my situation, I have also ordered some extension tubes to allow me to raise the microscope up higher to be able to use zoom above 3, auto focus has been really good to have ! I am using the 120x assembly not the 180x. I have some footage recorded for a review video, but haven't got around to it yet. I have been using it to do liquid damaged Macbook Pro repairs, doing 0402 and can use a 10" screen just fine.
were you able to test it? I'm trying to find out if it's possible to get the area of 20x15cm with a 120x and 0.35 barlow, even if it means mounting camera 1m above the desk. could you check that for me please?
Very nice scope but recently prices shot up- only a couple of years ago these were 50% of the price- the barlow lenses though are quite cheap because for binocular microscopes they cost more and they aren’t much different. Magnification being the thing many manufacturers charge almost a third more for something that provides a total of x90 vs one with x45. Like everything its a jungle out there and they have to compete on the price of the standard kit and make their profit on the accessories. Keep up the good work and the great variety of posts. Im learning a lot (a pom learning from an antipodean? Whatever next eh?) with 11/11 looming let’s remember the fantastic contribution of the Anzacs to the WW’s. Thanks friends!
Yeah, its a great camera, Saw your first review and ordered one. But i ordered that Barlow lens straight away and that combo is really nice. Tried some other lenses to but this is probably the best combination...
I'm able to get great results using a DSLR camera, extension tubes and a normal lens from my old camera. I built a jig to photograph 35mm slides, and can pick up grain on Kodachrome 64.
I don't need to use a microscope very often, so I also use my dslr with a 70-200mm lens, a close up lens and 2x and 1.4x teleconverters (barlow lenses). That works amazingly well with a great zoom range, autofocus, more than 300mm working distance, and at maximum magnification I get an amazing 12mm wide field of view at full hd resolution. Can get even closer than that if I use 1:1 sensor resolution.
Thanks. I'm trying to find a good soldering scope that doesn't take up too much space. I like the idea of mounting this on a arm if you can keep it from wiggling.
Dave, I'm guessing you have worked with both types of microscope - trinocular and just the camera like in this one. Do you find one better than the other?
I am using a ezcap287p HDMI to USB3 capture unit, that works just fine with the eakins, and my splitter (which looks physically the same as, but has different silkscreen to yours), also my splitter is being powered from the USB3 port without external power.
I should find out which HDMI splitters we use at work to feed the foxtel set-top boxes into our RF system. I believe it's a jaycar cheapie, but it gets rid of the copy protection or whatever pretty well.
Bought one of these since Dave's first Eakins video. Been a happy camper, except I'm not sure if my autofocus works as well as Dave's: it's jumping around quite a bit sometimes, and focus range doesn't seem to be as good. Maybe it's because Dave has better lighting. I have the 120x and 180x objectives; now ordered the Barlow lenses ;)
What lens should be used so that it can be placed at a distance of 60 cm from the desk top and, at maximum zoom, obtain an area approximately 2 cm wide?
Will these work on the Hayear 41MP included tube lens? I'm glad I finally found a video about this. I want this setup but I can't imagine what I'd use it for other than soldering and reading the fine print on things. What do people use these for in real daily life (not industrial inspections like in a shop) other than soldering?

Nice video, how about diameters? Microscope camera 25,4mm is connected to C mount lens 20mm. Lens have 50mm for hook (stand) and 48mm ending for Barlow lens? And Barlow lens is 45mm? How about protection glass, do you have any/use any?
Did you update the cable spec for hdmi 2.0 to support 4k? The cables are often a problem as they don't all support the higher bandwidth. Apparently hdmi 2.1 supports 8k. But using an old cable won't give the full experience.
Kicks the ass out of the magnifying lens on my third hand tool by a couple orders of magnitude. Price is also a couple orders of magnitude greater. I suppose the USB scopes that run about 50 Yankee bucks would be midway between the two on a log scale.
Hello! How did you manage to achieve such a good image brightness without backlight? I bought the same 180x lens and a barlow 0.35x lens, but my camera is on a Sony IMX334 sensor. I can't get good brightness even with the backlight.
Nice. I have a similar setup but without the auto focus. Of course none of my barlow lenses from previous microscopes are the correct size for it. I should order one with the correct thread.

Do not buy anything yet!!! 11.11 is right around the corner and if you purchase through the Aliexpress mobile app you'll save $100s of dollars if you're going all in.
Flemming Jacobsen basically it’s a mild reducer or magnifier which when used in conjunction with its black tube may unflip the final image by 180° in circumstances when it’s impossible to flip a real object, of course with minimal loss of luminosity. In this case its only practical application is like putting a fixed-focus lens on an autofocus camera to shift its entire zoom power range around, which for a ‘reducing’ Barlow (fractional power) adds the benefit of increasing field of view, such that very little of its original autofocus capability will be lost even while increasing the distance from the object to the scope. Any added extremity or ordinary (non-Barlow) complexity often dramatically decreases depth of field and obviates setting any ‘back focus’ especially when the lens diameters are small, and large high-powered ‘objective’-lenses with short focal lengths are so expensive that when possible they are omitted in lieu of low powers in conjunction with an extra-long optical tube or if there is a cheap but standard lens that’s slightly overpower, a fractional Barlow added to compensate.
The tube tend to distort the more u have so glas and good glass is the best answer- have you ever seen the macro lenses video film makers use for natural history shots of insects? They get up to around 12-15 inches. And because they use apochromatic and coated lens systems there is a beautiful bright flat field.
You can get a great working distance with macro, but that means you have to use a long lens. Extension tubes reduce your working distance. I don't need a microscope very often, so I use my dslr with a 70-200mm lens, a close up lens and 2x and 1.4x teleconverters (barlow lenses). That gives me more than 300mm working distance, and at maximum magnification I get an amazing 12mm wide field of view at full hd resolution. Can get even closer than that if I use 1:1 sensor resolution. And the image quality is fantastic.
Spending $600 to purchase a product on aliexpress, without any warranty, future support or return possibility? Hell, no. It can be a great product but, hell... no. Maybe if you live in China.
You can, but not with optical lenses. Light is much much short wavelength, hence the diffraction happens on much smaller scales than radio waves, so the lens material and properties really matters. Some plastics do it at microwave frequencies.
You can, just the lenses would be massive. Since 2.4GHz has about 12cm wavelength, a refraction lens would have to be hundreds of meters across to provide any kind of focusing power.
I seem to have read something about using a Fresnel lens for microwaves.... not the glass or plastic kind, but a flat wood surface with the right pattern of aluminum circles laid on.

(They're also an Australian company ;) )
Seems like an EDID problem to me, too. I'd slap an EEPROM or an arduino but what you suggested seem less sketchy.

What purpose is there for a heights other than to get a board and soldering iron under it?
Can be pretty handy if you are repairing something that is still half in a case for example or on top of something big. You can leave the board in place and functional then to test.
Nicholas Heidl Also to get a side view to check if any pins are flying loose a few microns above the board (bad connections!). 300mm is about the width of many baseboards for instruments and computers.
why am I thinking of FFcossag?
I think he was using a std SLR camera mounted on the ceiling, like 1.5m working distance, and zooming down to the table.
a field of view larger than 7-10cm is just like looking at the board with your eyes, right..?
But you get that FOV in big monitor so not really.
Except it’s seeing with a veedaoe camera.

Any added extremity or ordinary (non-Barlow) complexity often dramatically decreases depth of field and obviates setting any ‘back focus’ especially when the lens diameters are small, and large high-powered ‘objective’-lenses with short focal lengths are so expensive that when possible they are omitted in lieu of low powers in conjunction with an extra-long optical tube or if there is a cheap but standard lens that’s slightly overpower, a fractional Barlow added to compensate.
Why is this so special? Never used a DSLR or mirrorless with macro lenses?
try and get that working distance with a dslr & a macro lens. My 100mm macro has max magnification at like 6 " or something crazy, and it was 1000$+
@@beyonddeath123 You need macro tubes in between.
@@merlingallagher4484 Isn't macro tubes used to decrease working distance?
The tube tend to distort the more u have so glas and good glass is the best answer- have you ever seen the macro lenses video film makers use for natural history shots of insects? They get up to around 12-15 inches. And because they use apochromatic and coated lens systems there is a beautiful bright flat field.
You can get a great working distance with macro, but that means you have to use a long lens. Extension tubes reduce your working distance.
I don't need a microscope very often, so I use my dslr with a 70-200mm lens, a close up lens and 2x and 1.4x teleconverters (barlow lenses). That gives me more than 300mm working distance, and at maximum magnification I get an amazing 12mm wide field of view at full hd resolution. Can get even closer than that if I use 1:1 sensor resolution. And the image quality is fantastic.
Cool toy.
wack it on dave
F*cking hell that thing is hulk :o
Talking a lot and moving so fast I can't focus
👍👍👍👍
Spending $600 to purchase a product on aliexpress, without any warranty, future support or return possibility? Hell, no. It can be a great product but, hell... no. Maybe if you live in China.
Furst. Yes, I know it's annoying. :-)
If light is an electromagnetic wave and lenses focus light, can lenses also focus WiFi or other electromagnetic radio waves ?
Yes, but you need absurdly large lenses at wifi wavelengths (13cm vs
You can, but not with optical lenses. Light is much much short wavelength, hence the diffraction happens on much smaller scales than radio waves, so the lens material and properties really matters. Some plastics do it at microwave frequencies.
You can, just the lenses would be massive. Since 2.4GHz has about 12cm wavelength, a refraction lens would have to be hundreds of meters across to provide any kind of focusing power.
I seem to have read something about using a Fresnel lens for microwaves.... not the glass or plastic kind, but a flat wood surface with the right pattern of aluminum circles laid on.
