    Does this ("light injection") work with a 40x and 100x objective? What do you mean it's not as awesome as true reflected illumination microscope? What's the difference?

    Cool! - Can you post a link to the microscope you bought?

      ***** Go to amazon.com and search for "OMAX 40X-2000X Digital Lab LED Binocular Compound Microscope with Double Layer Mechanical Stage". There are lots of options for the digital cameras which are in some of the listings, and some not.

    Great use of the Taig in your project!

    Now I just need to jury rig a polishing system and I can do some ghetto metallography to analyze some steel for relatively cheap.

    @electronupdate I'm making this now. Is that a rod of aluminum?

      yes

      @@electronupdate I'm having trouble replicating your eyepiece. Instead of just drilling a hole for the wires, I hollowed out most of the interior of a piece of aluminum so the plexiglass and the LED light can rest against an internal lip and i don't need to use the glue and tape like you used. But the illumination is either way too bright and white or just a dim muddy wash. But then when I light the circuit board I"m looking at from the side, it is bright and sharp. Any suggestions on how I might be able to replicate your high quality images?

      Do I need to use a certain number of plexiglass disks? Maybe not diffusing the light enough?

      @@BenFreemanDC The light needs to be diffuse. Hot spots would result in wash out

      @@electronupdate I just realized I actually have a binocular compound microscope, with only 1 light path. So I'm getting a reflection. So I can't use your modification. I'm looking into darkfield lenses which might work.

    seems like a good solution. but just the worth of all your engineering gear is not exactly 'poor man' 😅. anyway, i found 2 cheap metallurgical mcs: olympus and wild. now i have to learn how to use them

    Hello, Sir! Its possible a conversion of this kinde ir microscope meijitechno.com/meiji_old/ml5000.htm to one that i can use on a eletronic bench for repair cellphones and others pcb's?
    I'm an electronics student, I found one of these for a very low price, particularly I don't have the money to buy a new one for this purpose, so I'm trying to look for an alternative.
    Sorry for my bad english, best regards from Brazil.
