Mark Lovick - You NEED this


Recommended Posts

Very interesting. I would be very worried if my work was scrutinised under this device!

Seriously, I wonder how the really high end watches would look under this mic. I remember a post a while back which had some photos of a new Rolex movement which had metal shavings still visible through a loupe!

It does some really neat stuff like the stacking of images into 3D depth of field images, (or whatever the correct term is), storing, measuring etc, but I push back on the 10,000 claim....its optics and still subject to Rayleigh criterion.  The wavelength of light and refraction through the optics makes it impossible to optically resolve much beyond 1500x.  Still, when you look at stuff at 1500, its hard to imagine how you'd need more (1500 is usually way too much unless you are looking for bacterial on that pinion).

For those of us with more normal budgets, I bet for a few hundred you could set up a USB mic and screen.....it wasn't too long ago that that would have been an $9,000 bit of kit.

The thing I find frustrating with microscopy and mechanics is the limited depth of field.  Somehow that rig seems be a big improvement in that regard

I agree Mark, the guy doing the spiel mentioned wanting to find one of t he Lica binos under his Christmas tree. He must have a very affluent partner. These are well out of my range. Surely these are more for a professional repair / service laboratory.

I can't see Santa having enough room in his sleigh for us all to get one, but if he drops one off for me , I'll share it, honest, and I've been a good boy all year... OK maybe that last lie blew my chances. I think I'm probably stuck with the 10x loupe and the cheap Chinese screwdrivers for another year.

BTW, and slightly off topic, if you want to produce some focus stacked images (with a microscope, or without), and you have an old Canon point and shoot camera lying about, unloved in a drawer, you might take a look at CHDK. I admit it isn't going to give you real time results, but if you simply want some pin sharp images of your favorite time piece, it will do the trick.

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
