mU scale for adding a size scale in micro photo’s

[deBult]

Step by step I'm trying to improve my skill in taking microscope pictures.
Now I want to add a mU scale for size to the pictures.

I read several threads in the past on software that helps you do this.

As I do not recollect the correct terminology in the German language the search facility in the forum is not of much use.

Please help me out and refer me to the correct thread and/or search terms to use in German language please,

Thank you,
Maarten

Hi,
Bastian has a nice introduction on his own page:

Kind regards,

Thank you: will have to find a PC as his pages are not compatible with iPad.

That does surprise me a lot! Can Ipads not even handle validated html code anymore? Any browser should be able..

Most of the pages work: the one referred to is one flikkering screen with fast opening and re-sizing windows

Interesting, there it is a completely static page. I just re-checked, if  anything had gone awry there. But, no there is nothing wrong with the html code.
Basically what you have to do, is to take a picture of your lenicules with all your lenses. Then you work out mathematically how many pixels reprsent a micrometer, and then you can calculate the length of your scalebar  and add it to your pictures.
I wrote a script to automate this, if you know the width of the section you see under the micrsocope. should run un OSX, too, I guess, with a few tweaks...

Well the page is opening OK on a iPhone though.

Started the measurements with my micrometer slide.

If I remember correctly one of the forum members has a Developed a stacking program with the functionality to incorporate a scale bar ?

Update found it: Picolay

Tnx, Maarten
