Field diameter measurement (microscopy)

2005-12-28 Thread Don Williams
Hi all, Does anyone know the exact distance between the front surface of the *ist D mount and the sensor? Note for Cotty: Its warming up here -- only -12C. I read (on the BBC ticker) this morning that it's very cold in the UK a dreadful Siberian -2C! And they expect *6 inches* of snow! My

Thanks very much. The in-focus field diameter projected by the transfer lens is exactly 50mm which is what it ought to be. The flat (corrected) part of the image is about 38 mm across. The smaller sensor of the *ist D has certain advantages here; the field is flat to less than 0.5 mu all the
