🔬 032 - How good is the IMAGE QUALITY of cheap and expensive Microscopes? 

You inspired me to get a microscope of my own. It's a vintage 1938 Leitz LL; it has three objectives, a mechanical stage, and a mirror for illumination. I found it on Ebay; it is in excellent condition and I got it for $125. So thanks for your great videos! Let the fun begin...

Great video to understand features and functions. Thank you very much. I needed this lesson to make a purchase decision.

Thanks for the comparison.

thank you, very informative

Thanks! Greetings from Ireland, good video. :)

Thank you, for the wonderful informative video, one point can be added, which is the working distance of each objective lens.

Awesome video!

Very helpful, Thank you very much.

Excellent Video ...

nice, I love the CH40 Olympus. I use it in the lab, but want to have one one day. It is just so comfortable.

Thank you, very much!!! ...for the excellent information, advice, and recommendations!!!

Thanks sir.

I would be very interested in your take on how today's lenses compare to high-end old ones. I have an American Optical Spencer 1036a that I picked up on craigslist for a few bucks. It has infinity PLAN optics, but it's from the '60s. I'm wondering how it compares to inexpensive (and expensive) current lenses. Needs a few parts and a little work to really be as functional as I want, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if the quality doesn't compare well with a, let's say, $300-$500 current model.

Compelling video. Thanks

My modified meji scope has bought me much joy.

YES!!! I'm getting this for my birthday!!

Thank you for the video. Could you please write down the models to video definition?

Thank you. Very useful, and practical advice. I've just purchased a microscope, following you're very objective advice. I'm a hobby bee keeper, using the instrument as my primary tool in Honey Bee disease management. Vielen Dank für all Ihre sehr nützlichen Informationen. Stuart

Do you think you’ll ever do a stereo microscope comparison video? I think a lot of people who are interested in that type would love a video like this for stereo microscopes.

Hello my fellow "microscope" friend :-) I am currently looking and learning about bio -microscopes. I stumbled upon your channel, and it has been a very pleasurable experience listening to your insightful, knowledgeable and passionate videos. After looking extensively on the topic of microscopes, via both RU-vid channels and websites, it was becoming glaringly obvious that it was a minefield, And so bumping into you, good sir - was a breath of fresh air. You have an excellent style of teaching, very clear and precise advice and a lovely delivery of information. Now I am trying to decide between: Euromex Bresser Brunel All the very best! Andy.

You have Swift microscopes in your amazon store can you do a review of one?

Hi mate, thank you very much for your great videos and information. It is appreciated. I have a question if you could please answer. I need a proper microscope for Gemology, to see through stones like quartz, emerald, etc... and around what prices please? cheers mate.

Its March 17 and its snowing a ton here in Illinois right now and I've always been curious to see what odd things are in this strange kind of snow and was looking to get my own microscope

Thank you for the many videos. I would like to see micro meteorites. Comparable seeing detail on a grain of sand. These objects are mostly opaque. Can I use a compound microscope for this or do I need a stereo microscope. Thank you.

are independent coarse and fine adjustment knobs a bad or good thing, btw the microscope is called AmScope B100c

I got myself a microscope, it's a Romanian make, IOR ( Romanian Optical Enterprise ), model ML-4M, it has a binocular head with twin 7x eyepieces, and 5 objectives: 6x, 10x, 20x, 40x and 90x Leitz Wetzlar Apo Oel; on the hinge cap of the adjustable interpupillary distance it is written 1.6x, I will buy a slide with measuring divisions so I can accurately determine the fine details of the worn diamond stylus from my phono cartridge.

thanks you sir. this is really good descriptive video for choosing microscope. is it possible to research about bacteria with BMS 136 microscope? and what is the maximum powerful objective can be used with BMS 136? sorry for my bad English.

now i found an active account about microscope...i like...

Hello, thank you for the video. I am a newbie but have a need for as best quality as I can get for the buck. I noticed that some rather inexpensive scopes are 2500x. I'm looking at used very good quality scopes and they say 100x, I'm assuming that is just the eyepiece? Can you recommend a scope on ebay that's around $400, something that will show me blood cells up close as possible? Thanks for any help.

So microscope use what to measure it's power (like how small thing it can show , like 5nm objects) if you said the magnify number is not refer to how powerful it is...so i wonder when we purchasing a microscope what we should look at? Only more pricey represents it is better?

Thank you, would you suggest buying this microscope for hobby : SWIFT SW350T 40X-2000X Trinocular Microscope

Hey, I'm a biology student in Belgium and I am very interested in buying a microscope! I know I'll be using the microscope frequently in the future. I watched a lot of your videos and I am very interested in the white monocular microcope you showed in this video. I am looking for a monocular microscope with a mechanical stage, light intensity regulator and a condenser. All your monocular recommendations on Amazon don't have all of these things... Can you give me advide on where I can get this microscope you showed here or where i can find one? Or should I go with a binocular microscope even though i prefer a monocular?

Curious as to why oil immersion is not recommended. Uses too many Kimwipes?

Personally, I use a bead of water. This costs about £0.0000001. Magnification is about 1.3. I find little difference in image between that and bottled water. However the cost is about £0.001, or about 100 000 times more than tap water.

Hi. Please tell me how you connected the camera?(to CH40) I see such a microscope for sale, but there is no connector for the camera. =)

Can I get photos of cells with a stereo microscope? Specifically fish cells

My 40x lens is dark and I can’t see light? Suggestions?

I'm looking to buy a microscope that can fit a digital camera and I also want to see some tardigrades from my backyard. Thanks for your informative video.

I have a cheap microscope and yesterday I looked at a worm from a bass I filleted. Big mistake. I dont think I can eat that fillet now.

Hi, I want to buy a microscope to view fungi hyphae. What magnification do I need??

Dope. I gotta cheap little microscope for my 4 year old. It works well enough for her to enjoy.

You are very good at describing this subject- you have a new subscriber!

I wonder how the Lego perform if the inside would have bern painted black.

Someone please answer me , i have microscope with 2500x magnification because i use 25x eyepiece , is that can use for camera observation ? How to connect eyepiece with camera(optilab) , and is microscope with 2500x camera magnification already exist today?

Sana all,pahinge

Another beginner scope almost exactly like the National & Swift is the Duoscope as it has 2 lights , standard one from bottom, one above the stage shines down which provides a darkscope view of opaque items. I find that I use that setting more than lit from the bottom. www.amazon.com/dp/B0167VF07S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_IAl-EbW6HWJ9D

How much for a microscope to see staph and strep? Thx

Where are you sir no videos

I bought a few weeks ago a Euromex stereo nexius zoom 1703M mostly for mycologic reasons - what do you think ? - let be know. Lg from Steyr OÖ.

I have enjoyed your online magazine for years. I have downloaded every issue. But, I notice that there are no new issues. Are you okay? I just discovered your youtube channel today.

No doubt Olympus are among the very best microscopes available today, both biological and stereos

Videos plz

Make urine microscopic sample pls

This year your hair more black ⚫ hehe... i watching your video alot sir thanks

I suppose there aren't any affordable electron microscopes :(

1:31 is that a Lego microscope

I saved for 12mths to get my 2500x radical bino with a 14MP camera for $900AUD and still cant see. I'm so disappointed, all i wanto see is moving cells/ bacteria. I bought 300x, 800x from ebay in the past. i nearly give up but wont. Thx for your input mate, nice vid!

Can anyone tell me what magnification I need to study Blood Cells please 🙏

do you think that a socalled professional microscoper at a university is better than normal people who work independent at home with an old Leitz microscope.......

Put the images side by side 😑
