Questions & Answers

Is this microscope really capable of 1000x or does it have a maximum magnification of ?

The answer is yes. My first impression of it was that it could only go up to 400x, but I soon found out that an attachment came with it that allowed me to get it

How does this work in terms of viewing plant cells?

I say yes! I like it a lot. If you are using iodine to stain onion cells, they are the most interesting to observe.

What can be seen in this mic? Can one celled organisms be seen in this mic?

A one-day trip afforded us the opportunity to see There are organisms in the water of ponds.

An alpha louse at a 40x and 100x magnification
5/5

It is a louse that luckily did not bite my daughter. We have removed all the lice from my daughter now, and everything is fine!

This video was taken by holding a video camera up to the eyepiece of our AmScope model M100C. Your actual view with your eyes is not so tunneled since you're using LED. In the first part of the video, we show the louse on top of a prepared slide, shown in pink in the The animal was lying flat on its back. It also moved its legs as it moved. During the first nine seconds of this video, you will see it at 40x, and and then it will be There was also a 400x magnification of the louse, but I could not get decent video at that size. In case you need to take or view photos or videos, consider another microscope that has a camera built in. My daughter was very intrigued to see what was crawling around on her head in this neat, educational, and gross activity. The same louse, which could be seen with a 100x and 250x magnifying glass, and another louse that could be seen in its body with blood inside did not have video. My experience with the microscope has been excellent I have no complaints All in all, it is solidly built and of good quality. As long as I use it regularly, I expect it to last a long time.

This is awesome! It's a no-brainer The only microscopes I've found at thrift stores have been of the smallest magnification, and I can only see the tiniest organisms if they were that clear
5/5

After a long time of having the old one, I decided to spring for the new one.

Some things you should know when you are shopping 1) We saw a review from someone whose little girl's eyes were damaged by the too bright light. Small children are not able to notice damage as it occurs, so I can totally understand how that could have happened. In order to ensure you have a clean light when using the lowest magnifications, you will have to lay a tissue over The strong light helps you with the higher magnifications, and that is one of the things that make this microscope so cool. 1) For older viewers (like me), you ought to expect that when you increase magnification, it will magnify all your floaters and even cataracts, so on the higher magnifications, you might have difficulty seeing the slide through your own That's too bad. Thus, you have no reason not to order a cell phone adapter mount today. A new one has just been ordered. I took the video with one hand held phone, which is harder than you think, which is why the light and shadow around the edges are so bright. The floater magnification, however, does not exist when you are looking at a 3) You will need to order some slides and slip covers, as this is just the microscope. Before purchase, I did some research and found an article on how microscope lenses go bad, and that same article recommended purchasing a few color changing desiccant packets to place under the slip cover to prevent damage to the lens. The lesson we learned is It is troublesome to live in a dark, moist environment. Keeping it where it gets some air, and keep it extremely dry will help it last a long time. The other thing I learned from research is that compound scopes provide clearer views, which is one of the reasons I think this is a good scope. In terms of 5) I am not too enthusiastic about the highest magnification, and I think it probably requires oil as well, since it has to be touching the slide. However, between the two eye pieces, and the other two opticals, it is sufficient This video shows the eyepiece with the 25x optical and 10x eyepiece.

This is awesome! The sperm of a human can be easily seen
5/5

This microscope is amazing. An example of this is when we reverse a vasectomy to check the success of the procedure. Besides being very bright and giving a great view, it also has a great view. Additionally, this is a fairly heavy microscope I love the way it feels.

Using a microscope at home can be beneficial
4/5

Our family is home schooling boys between the ages of 6 and 8 I didn't want a plastic toy for my kid since they can be rough, and I wanted a lot of magnification so I could see what our eyes As far as I was concerned, the microscope did not disappoint. In light of the fact that many if not all of the lesser microscopes offered have plastic "lenses", the "optical glass lenses" of this microscope There is good sharpness and clarity in the images. Providing light is either from 3AA batteries (3 each) or by a wall outlet and there is a well placed switch on the base that is easily manipulated. It seems obvious that you can't possibly take this thing with you on a field trip, but I can't imagine a reason to do so. According to the description, the frame and body are made entirely of metal. There is no significance in the fact that the bottom cover is plastic. As far as I'm concerned, this machine is made in China, and I don't buy the $450 price claim. Although you can avoid the $90 handling fees with an Amazon offer, it is well worth the $90+ shipping. Even so, I bought the scope in addition to the Amscope 50-piece prepared slide box for a total of $4something in shipping charges. The one you would choose is not known to me. As part of the scope, a transformer and two WF view finders are included, but I have yet to find a way to install the second one. This is a different version from the one that came pre-installed. There was one report of poor packing of the scopes. The package came in good shape and everything was in place. I would have given this product a 5 if I hadn't given that reason. The instrument itself deserves a rating of 5/stars. It has been so long since I used a microscope in school, and I am quite sure I did, that I do not remember. In the end, I decided not to buy the book since there is lots of free info available online (rightly, I later discovered). However, purchasers of this scope must be ready to take one of the two approaches. A final note. In doing the research online, I learned that a scope with 1000x magnification might require immersion oil, but that is not the case for all lenses, so there's no way to tell if it will work with your lenses. On the paperwork there's a toll free number, so I called. It is my pleasure to report that no recordings were made and that a generational transmission took place A live stream of one of our shows It was the man at the other end of the line who answered the telephone. (*o I quickly got a response that the oil is okay to use Therefore, my vote goes to customer service.
I think that's all for now. By providing useful information rather than just glib praise or complaint, I hoped my article would be useful. There may be someone out there who finds value in it.
