Mobile LED Flash light is the best Microscope light

Not only for microscope but also for macro-photography.

It has a rechargeable battery. I kept it for a few years inside a refrigerator until the battery was flat but once recharged, it still works.

It has 3 settings which came in handy because at the highest setting it is too bright for the 10x objective lens but slightly dark for the 100x objetive.

I have actually ordered 30W LED floodlights but it may be too bright for the microscope, except for the 100x objective.

https://shopee.com.my/640X-Monocular-Microscope-Metal-Student-Biological-Microscope-i.115293919.1806500427 RM130 preordered 30 days. Mine microscope is similar to this one but I bought it from Aliexpress sent via Singapore Registered Mail and arrived in less than 30 days. It came with 5 sample slides which I photographed above. It cost me RM200. No eyepiece. Objectives used were 4x, 10x and 40x. The 40x objective is barely useable. Without the micrometer stage, it is difficult to locae the sample to be photographed. The lack of condensor also reduced its resolution. I was not able to use the microscope because I do not have a suitable lighting. When I realised the LED flash for mobile phone is ideal, I started taking these photos.

Updating Exif data in your photographs and images

Geosetter in Windows 7 is good and the best but it cannot do what it is supposed to be able to do, which is to change a large number of files all at once. As far as possible, make changes using geosetter. Geosetter actually uses exiftool and gpsbabel. geosetter will update exiftool for you automatically but it will install it for you only for use by geosetter. Other programs cannot use it. exiftool is a command line tool that is very powerful. It can set all files even within subdirectories. You can search for it in C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoSetter\tools or you can download it. Edit the enviroment variable PATH for user to the path where exiftool resides. Use computer>properties>advanced system properties>environment variables. The difficulty is in finding the names of tags and the values to put into them. The date taken is called datetimeoriginal. The time to enter is YYYY:MM:DDHH:MM:SS+ZZ:ZZ I should use the command exiftool -overwrite_original -datetimeorigi...

Kelda vs Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye lenses

Review, Tested: Kelda 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Posted on March 12, 2015 by lui_gough Fisheye lenses are pretty special when it comes to lenses. Their extreme distortion effect serves to be a novelty, which is sometimes overused , and can prove to be a handy feature to squeeze in extreme fields of view, or to ease 360-degree panorama photo-taking. The number of fisheye options for DSLRs have generally be limited, and it was hard for many to justify spending real money on a real fisheye lens. In terms of options, the one I like most is the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (~AU$380), available under a range of different rebadge names such as Bower, Pro-Optic, Rokinon, Opteka, Vivitar, Falcon, Polar, Walimex and Bell and Howwell. In fact, I liked it so much that I owned one for Canon and one for Nikon! The other that’s widely known is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (~AU$260), which is more suited for full-frame users, and isn’t as nice when it comes to flare handling. T...
