Panchromatic silver halide on the cheap w/dyes?

Yes, DJ. Even though I've done business with Cole-Parmer for many years, exactly the same thing happened to me when I tried to order some Rhodamine 6G from them a few months ago. Apparently they check addresses to find out whether or not you're in a residential area. I used my company name as I've ...

Clearing bath before Pyrochrome reversal bleach

There is no doubt that Jeff Blyth’s recommendation of a distilled water rinse before the Pyrochrome or reversal or dichromate bleach eliminates the dreaded precipitate that is almost impossible to eliminate from the emulsion.

445nm beam profile

135mW (with reasonable coherence) is an impressive amount of power with TE cooling only and no extended cavity. Was there any kind of feedback to the diode (microscope cover slip, etc.)? I looked at the fiber optic face plate from Surplus Shed. That's pretty wild, I've never seen those before. It a...
