My new Wild M8 stereomicroscope
Last Updated: 19th Dec 2010By Pierre Houssin
I had the opportunity to improve my stereomicroscope : a Wild M8 replaced the Wild M3.
I changed the old phototube by another newer one (better coating), better photo ocular (the same than on my homemade photomacroscope), a wonderful Leica Planapo 1x objective on a homemade axial holder and finally, a remotely controlled Canon S70 compact camera.
You can see one of the first picture I obtained (this is a "one shot" picture, not a stacked one)
So, I can conclude that, yes, it is possible to obtain wonderful picture with a stereomicroscope but it's rather expensive !
